In other words, I think this is going to be a show of force, Trump's going to claim some sort of victory, and then it's going to be old news in a couple of weeks. As for the president, he'll be on to the shiny distraction elsewhere. Maybe in Greenland with those "medical ships." Who knows.
I mean, it was only Jan. 3 that the Trump department overthrew the Venezuela leadership, claimed a victory, but left the country mostly unchanged. At one point, Rubio was going to be leading Venezuela. Remember that?
And here we are, already doing another regime change when the last attempt was just a few weeks ago and did nothing.

How does this project US strength? And how can the US stave off any concurrent threat from China or other power abroad or in the homeland?
Chump should be tried for treason.

Talking about the inevitability of US casualties while lounging in his country club and wearing a stupid baseball cap tells you exactly what he thinks of American soldiers. Trump represents the billionaire class and no else. I would think even his MAGA supporters can see this now.

Trump has totally manufactured this war.
wag the dog
Hey Trumpies, what happened to "no new wars", and "we should not be involved in foreign wars"?
MAGA so silent.
This is just further proof that these people never had any real principles—political, ethical, moral or religious. The poorly educated among them are like cult members, unable to reason. The well educated are just opportunists, changing their stance whenever it suits them. I didn’t agree with the Cheney, Bush, Rumsfeld, etc., but I know they truly believed in things. They cared about the wrong things but they cared. The Republicans today are a disgrace.
Can you please stop calling people who voted for Trump names? You are playing into the stereotype of the lecturing, holier than tho Dem that voters disliked. People who voted for Trump bc they wanted change to the system are not stupid. It is just very unfortunate that:
1) Trump lied
2) the media fails to explicitly point out the lies (headlines should be reading “Trump starts an unauthorized, illegal war that he says will kill Americans”
3) Republican elected officials blindly sypport him bc they care more about tax and govt spending cuts than humans
4) the Dem party allowed Biden to run instead of pushing for an open primary to source and vet a candidate who would have had the time (and distance to either explain or denounce Biden policies) to campaign effectively against Trump.
I don’t blame Trump voters. It’s the system.
