There’s been a bunch of shit going on lately with Pete Hegseth doing some war crimes by blowing up ships in international waters, and then blowing up survivors calling for help. Also dumb shit with RFK Jr. claiming the cure to air travel woes is to install pull up bars in airports so travelers can exercise. Also claiming Europe is being destroyed and the real danger to the United States is the EU, in our National Security Strategy publication.
You know, run of the mill dumb shit from the clown car administration. However, I have to admit, two things happened that I expected to happen MUCH sooner:
First, we sent F-18 fighters into Venezuelan airspace to dick around and be belligerent for 40 minutes, probably to induce a violent response we could pull a Gulf of Tonkin with and excuse ourselves into invading.
Second, we just seized a Venezuelan oil tanker off the coast of the country.
I had expected a Venezuelan invasion to be underway already, to be perfectly honest, and I think if we’d had halfway competent warhawks like George W’s cabinet, we would be. But these “warrior ethos” folks in the cabinet currently? They couldn’t find an invasion plan if they landed head first in the Situation Room on D-Day. Don’t get me wrong: I’m glad we haven’t invaded Venezuela. I’m just surprised we haven’t yet. But slowly and surely these assholes are trying to instigate a flare up we can use to excuse ourselves flattening Caracas.
