As was pointed out in January 2022 when Russia was building up to invade Ukraine: No one moves that much into place if they don't plan to use it.  Lots of innocent Venezuelans are about to die.  Some Americans will, too.

He appears to have been talked out of invading Nigeria, so we’ve got that going for us. That would have been a far larger shitstorm and a lot more deaths on both sides.

U.S. conducts 20th strike on alleged drug boat, killing 4 people in Caribbean Sea - CBS News

Quote

The U.S. military conducted another strike on an alleged drug-trafficking boat on Monday, a Pentagon official confirmed to CBS News. The attack targeted a vessel in the Caribbean Sea and killed four people on board. 

Since September, U.S. forces have destroyed at least 21 vessels in 20 strikes in international waters, killing at least 80 people. The Trump administration says the operations — the details of which remain sparse — are part of an anti-drug offensive. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has dubbed the wider anti-trafficking effort "Operation Southern Spear."

The Pentagon has not revealed more information about the most recent strike. Previously, Hegseth has said the attacks have targeted "narco-terrorists" on known drug trafficking routes, although U.S. officials have not provided specific evidence that the vessels were smuggling drugs or posed a threat to the United States.

Some experts say the strikes, which have taken place in both the Pacific and Caribbean, may violate international law even if they target known drug traffickers. U.N. human rights chief Volker Türk this week urged an investigation into the legality of the strikes, warning of "strong indications" of "extrajudicial killings."

The latest strike comes amid an increasing U.S. military buildup in the region. This week, the U.S. Department of Defense confirmed the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Gerald Ford and other warships had entered the Southern Command's area of responsibility, which includes the Caribbean. The USS Ford is the largest aircraft carrier in the world, and the U.S. Navy's most advanced.

 

We've done 20 of these things.  And killed 80 people.

And we're just getting started.

Actually, really stupid on Russia's part, since it's going to piss off Trump and they have to know why he's going after Venezuela.

He's already getting pushback from Republicans in the Senate and House who don't want another war started.

Venezuela appearance in the Epstein emails released yesterday.

 

Some argue it's not just about the oil but taking regional control. I'm not sure there's a practical difference.

Also, the fucking casual racism that is now not just okay, but is our actual national policy, is fucking incredible.  Referring to anyone from South America: "Don't know why they are so dirty given the fact that there are so many maids."

It's just fucking casual and ingrained in these pieces of shit.

So, what's the big deal if we bomb a bunch of dirty beaners anyway?  That is absolutely 100% the ethos governing our nation right now. 

To say I hate these fuckers is a massive understatement.
