If you can govern there, you can govern here.
If you won’t govern here, then “governing there” isn’t about governance.
Trump’s name is all over the damn files. There’s probably pics of him that’ll burn out conservatives’ eyes.

then, by any consistent framework, it should be:
• publicly owned
• publicly audited
• publicly accountable
• stripped of executive enrichment tied to force
Otherwise, you’re not defending the nation — you’re socializing risk and privatizing gain.

Either it’s a public function — or it isn’t
You can’t have it both ways.
If oil access is:

• worth civilian casualties
• worth diplomatic rupture

Maduro gets a free market from a scheme no sane president would take part in.
Trump smiles to himself because no more Epstein talk, and he got another dictator ally.

Wouldn’t it be weird that this was all orchestrated in such a way that Trump attacked a few peasants Maduro didn’t care about… escalated a little, send an olive branch that does nothing because Venezuela is not a drug capital. Trump declares victory and ends embargo….

Conservatives do this all the time…. For the headlines.
And it’s only when the leopards come out to eat faces that the constituents didn’t realize that they voted for… because they didn’t read, didn’t care as long as the “others” were harmed, or couldn’t comprehend what they voted for.

Republicans knew this was going to happen…. Why they did it:
