totally share this sense of the crazy.
it's also important to recognize that the administration is *already* in violation of the UN Charter: the military buildup & intimidation clearly constitute a threat of force ag the territorial integrity or political independence of Venezuela.

Not a Latin America specialist, but still kind of amazed at the incoherence of signals coming out of DC amid open-source reporting on flights/airspace and on countries evacuating citizens from Venezuela. Is attacking a live option? What's the offramp/deal for Maduro? Who's in charge of US policy?

Having lived through the intense dishonesty of the Bush administration’s case for the invasion of Iraq I’m frankly baffled by Trump’s not even trying to build a case for regime change in Venezuela. They don’t even bother to lie or make up bullshit terrorist connections or fake WMD to build support!

US getting ready to attack Venezuela.
The rhetoric of curbing narcotics trade is just an excuse as Trump plans to pardon convicted drugs tsars at home.
It is about vanity, control of oil/gas and minerals and new Imperialism.
Who is next? Why is the UN silent?
