Trump's illegal military strike WAS NEVER about stopping drugs or democracy for Venezuela.
It's about OIL and how Trump can use Venezuela's oil to get himself and his donors rich.
He is quite literally telling us that. And that's not worth risking American lives for.

Scarborough on what Trump told him during a phone call yesterday: "Joe, the the difference between Iraq and this is that Bush didn't keep the oil. We're going to keep the oil. To underline his point, Trump said his comments were no long on background."

They need to start freaking out more. The Venezuela raid has apparently left Trump thinking he’s all-powerful and now he wants to do it again and again. Beyond the insanity of running foreign policy on short-term whims, it’s also literally the kind of thing that could set off global war.
Warner: "Nothing would lead to the absolute destruction of NATO more than US aggressive action against a longtime ally like Denmark"
Schumer: "I asked for assurances that they were not planning operations in other countries like Colombia and Cuba, and I was very very disappointed in their answer"

But it would sure be nice for some senators and GOP house members to speak up now and make it clear that an attack on a nato ally would lead to removal from office

"Certainly things could always get worse—and there’s a high probability they will—but it feels as though Trump has at last seized the power he’s always wanted; to kill with impunity. And when he finally leaves office, there will be no consolation."
New — I wrote about how corporate media is immediately siding with power in the wake of Trump attacking Venezuela and capturing Maduro, and how journalists need to treat the administration as a hostile entity that’s openly lying to them.
Call Trump's power grab in Venezuela what it is
Corporate media must recognize they're being openly lied to—and report accordingly.

Under international law, this is unambiguously a war of aggression. There is no plausible pretext of self-defense. The objective is transparently to topple the government, install a surrogate of US liking, and to seize Venezuela's natural resource reserves. It exudes contempt for law in all forms.

Do not accept Trump's bad faith as if it's good. Do not accept Trump's lies as if they're true. Force him to explain himself and if you're not satisfied, reject his authority to govern in your name. This act of war is not in the national interest. It's in his.
Here's what liberals need to do first -- reject any and all discourse that does not concede to reality that this is an illegal and illegitimate act of war. Trump is not "testing war powers." He's profaning them, full stop. Those who can't or won't call a spade a spade deserve nothing but contempt.
