General Discussion

Wouldn't be surprised if Ms. Right-Wing Opposition Leader who won this year's Nobel Peace Prize made a deal to give her peace prize to Trump in exchange for taking Maduro out of her way.
Not saying Maduro isn't a corrupt and inept guy, but it's pretty obvious he was becoming a weaker dictator who's only strength came from Chavez' popularity. Yah, he lost his election and used his OPEC, Russian, and Iranian cronies in the Venezuelan military to stay in power, but with Russia and Iran weakening and the Saudis throwing in with *rump to keep him propped up, it was pretty inevitable.
War is a racket.
And honest to Gawd, WTF, you stars in the Pentagon? Y'all know better, and this was so blatantly a stupid political stunt to prop up a tired old man's ego.
You couldn't even create a lie strong enough to manufacture any consent other than cynical bot army approval.
