No, Trump won't be better on Gaza. He will *increase* aid to Israel (he has said as much). He will remove whatever few guardrails kind of exist right now on our aid to them ("Let them finish the job"). He has been itching for war with Iran since his first term (the only reason it didn't happen […]

Rep. @sethmoulton.bsky.social : "Is anyone going to just stop for a second and be honest? This is insane. What the hell are we doing? We've got a lot of problems in America today, and invading, occupying, running Venezuela does not solve any of them."

For no reason whatsoever, I’m reminding you that before the US invaded Iraq in 2003, the Bush administration said that Iraq’s oil revenue would fund everything.

Venezuela has one of the largest crude reserves in the world.
But it's hard to work with, at least cost-competitively.
US oil and gas companies will find a way to profit off of it—especially if it's stolen or extracted with prison/slave labor.
Don't think that isn't on the table with Trump.

Remember that something like half the population still supports the policies of Chavez and Maduro for the radical wealth transfer they achieved.
If Trump starts taking the oil revenues, expect this to increase.

🧵Hope everyone realizes that Trump just got us into a long, protracted war.
Controlling all the oil infrastructure in Venezuela, in the jungle, is a long-term, high-manpower operation.
And will start to become costly when they get back to guerrilla war and insurgency operations.
