Meanwhile, our insurance premiums are skyrocketing, and we’re supposed to just continue to be patient? Unbelievable.

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.

If we're going to stop "funding corruption," let's start with the destruction of the East Wing & building a gold clad ballroom. I'm okay with feeding & educating kids. (Also, a lot of that debt comes from the GOP's "big beautiful bill.")

None of that exists right now. None of it comes cheap. And none of it pays off fast.
So if this administration thinks invading, occupying, and “stabilizing” Venezuela is going to fund itself through oil anytime soon, they’re on a fool’s errand.

How does an entire administration not understand this basic reality? Venezuelan oil is not profitable.
Heavy crude takes years to extract profitably. It requires massive upfront investment, specialized infrastructure, refineries configured for heavy oil, long timelines, and political stability.

If US invades Cuba, like Venezuela, I think a lot of Cubans, even those who despise the government, would fight the Yankee invaders.

Trump has already framed Venezuela as a criminal state and labeled gangs and drugs an “invasion.” Under the Alien Enemies Act, a 1798 wartime law, a president can detain and deport non-citizens from a country he declares “hostile,” with no due process. He’s already tested this.

Trump is weak at home, and he can be stopped – so long as the domestic political logic of foreign intervention is recognized and turned against him. This act of war is about regime change in the United States. It only succeeds if Americans allow it to do so.
