I am tired of this world, these people. I am tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives.

    Trump doesn’t have the political capital for boots on the ground in Venezuela, so this one is likely going to be a flop. The MAGA base is too anti-interventionist now. Susie Wiles told Vanity Fair that the administration is just going to harass ships until Maduro cries uncle and agrees to step down, which won’t happen. I’m sure Rubio would like to get our military more involved, but it doesn’t seem likely.

      The MAGA base will think anything that Newsmax, OANN, and Fox tells them. I’ve seen it happen in real time, multiple times now. They wouldn’t be MAGA still if they had any morals or critical thinking capabilities.

      Trump won’t go all in just yet, just try to provoke an attack (or stage a false flag) to give pretense to crack down on their land. Preceded of course by some covert bombing to soften their SAM defenses.
