That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela.
Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law.
Both of those facts are simultaneously true.

What the fork??????
Trump signals on Fox News that he may be invading Mexico and seizing Claudia Sheinbaum next. The message here is unequivocal: the Western Hemisphere is mine. I am the hegemon.
Trump says "something is gonna have to be done" about Mexico and President Claudia Sheinbaum in response to a question about whether the Venezuelan strike was a "message" to her government.

Much of the world is now in danger from America.
Trump ordered illegal assassinations—e.g., Iran’s Soleimani—in his first term, and illegal kidnappings and deportations in his second.
So who’s next?
Another Iranian leader? The Mexican president? A Greenlander? A Panamanian? A Brazilian? Zelensky?

Is Venezuela a glimpse of the future?
Donald Trump’s military aggression in South America and the Caribbean is another chapter in a new age of impunity.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

try to make sense of it
So fmr Honduran President Hernandez voluntarily surrendered, and was duly extradited, tried and convicted for drug trafficking, and Trump pardoned him 6w ago.
And this morning, Trump illegally attacks Venezuela and abducts its president and his wife purportedly to try them for drug trafficking.

BREAKING: The United States appears to have begun bombing Venezuela. Massive airstrikes are underway. War is here.
