Trump just issued threats to attack Mexico, Cuba, Colombia, Iran, Venezuela (again), and Greenland (which would be an attack on all of NATO).

Trump Was Skeptical of Ousting Maduro—Until He Wasn’t
Fed up with repeated efforts to persuade Maduro to leave office, the president decided in favor of military action.

So we conducted regime change with no clear plan for what happens after. Seems like we’ve done this a few times before.

The smallest man in the largest office
WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

Based on what we have seen over the past year, it’s a pretty good bet that Donald Trump, Jr is about to become affiliated with a startup venture related to exploiting oil resources in Venezuela, where he will do nothing and know nothing while profiting substantially.

What a lot of bukkshit
Q: You've talked about returning some control to American companies. Did that play at all into your decision to capture Maduro?
TRUMP: No. What really played is the fact he sent millions of people into our country from prisons and mental institutions

Many Venezuelan-Americans were initially euphoric thinking Trump was liberating Venezuela from Maduro. Now, especially with Trump unceremoniously kicking Machado to the curb, they realize he only intended to liberate them from their assets and resources.

Colombia's president, Gustavo Petro, is a lame duck: his term ends August 7, and elections are in May.
Petro isn't popular, but his party's candidate is within reach of a second-round runoff, and these unhinged comments could give him an unwitting boost.

TRUMP: Colombia is very sick too. Run by a sick man who likes making cocaine and selling it to the US, and he's not gonna be doing it very long
Q: So there's will be an operation by the US in Colombia?

What makes Trump's bombing of Venezuela especially cruel is we already know how his administration treats Venezuelans who are displaced. Here in Chicago, masked federal agents have been kidnapping them from the streets, abducting them from barbershops, hiring sites, their homes.

Trump in a single gaggle on Air Force One just threatened:

-- Iran
-- Greenland (which in turn would be an attack on the EU and Denmark)
