Aiming for that Noble Piece Prize.

He’s going to create a Nobel War Prize and award it to himself, stupid.

Don't bet against a bunch of crazy old fuckers with a little training and a lot of motivation.  Charlie out front shoulda told you.

I'd assume we'll be using B-2s and bombing fancy houses of supposed drug lords?

Probably, but sooner or later boots will be on the ground to "ensure total destruction of the target" or some other such macho shit.  That's when the crazy old guys get a say.  It's not the professionals that are scary; it's the motivated, unpredictable amateurs who will get you in unexpected ways.

Or whose families are being held hostage or threatened by drug lords.

I'm sure there are some in the administration who think this is going to be like the bomb run in Patriot Games or the border scene in Siccario, but our folks will not be just a few miles from our border.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told a rare meeting of the most senior military leadership in the U.S. that they must "prepare for war".

"From this moment forward, the only mission of the newly restored Department of War is this: Warfighting," Hegseth said in his speech at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, referring to the name now used by the Trump administration for the Department of Defense.

"Preparing for war and preparing to win. Unrelenting and uncompromising in that pursuit. Not because we want war. No one here wants war. But it's because we love peace."

 

War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength

And the "Department of War" bullshit is just that - bullshit.  Only Congress can change the name.  So Trump can call it that, and Hedgehog can put new signs up around the Pentagon, but on paper it's still the DoD.

But yeah, Venezuelans are going to have to die because Epstein wrote stuff down.

And some American service members too.  Maybe not many.  But some.

For absolutely no reason.  None.  Other than Trump needing to create a distraction.

Remember how all the Trump voters said one of the great things about him was "he won't get us into any foreign wars?"  And now, he's literally looking around trying to find a fight to start?

U.S. President Donald J. Trump has called off efforts to reach a diplomatic agreement regarding combating drug trafficking and the cartels with Venezuela, paving the way for a potential military escalation against narco-terrorists or the Government of Nicolás Maduro, according to several U.S. officials who spoke with the New York Times. 

Last Thursday, President Trump spoke with Richard Grenell, who is currently serving as Special Envoy for Special Missions and is leading diplomatic efforts with the Maduro Regime in Venezuela, instructing him that all diplomatic outreach, including his talks with Mr. Maduro, were to immediately stop, as tensions have grown recently between Grenell and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Officials state that the Trump Administration has drawn up multiple military plans for an escalation with Venezuela, with those operations possibly including plans designed to force Maduro from power, over claims that his government is actively directing and supporting drug cartels operating in Venezuela against the United States.

Well you see Venezuela’s big mistake is having oil relatively close to the US. 

We have to go down there and show those bastards that hoarding natural resources in the Western hemisphere is just not allowed.

Force him out of power and then...  Occupy Venezuela and set up a new, functional government?  Seems we are not very good at the second part. 

I think he believes it will be like Panama or Grenada.

It's scary because he really needs a distraction after he keeps getting embarrassed at home and with the shutdown starting to fuck things up (the last 3 shutdowns were under him). He really wants other nations to fear him, all the while he doesn't realize that Europe and China are starting to replace us on the world stage.

This is what the real problem is (not the oil, although that will come into play) - it's in our backyard.

I'm putting it at pretty good odds that we do something serious in the next few weeks.
