January 6th and Venezuela: Dangerous Fools, Knaves and Deeply Insecure Little Men [View all]

Stuart Stevens

The problem with American foreign policy is that it appears to be run by dangerous fools, knaves, and deeply insecure little men of no substance. This is because our country’s foreign policy is run by fools, knaves, and deeply insecure little men.

That falls into the true-but-inadequate category. Our domestic policy is run by the same collection of dangerous fools, knaves, and deeply insecure little men.

There is a direct line between January 6, 2021, and the American action in Venezuela. An American president who does not recognize the laws of his own country can hardly be expected to recognize any international law.

Venezuela has weirdly been an obsession within the Trump Universe. Sydney Powell, one of the many quack lawyers who tried to construct an argument that the 2020 election was stolen, made Venezuela the center of her elaborate stolen election conspiracy.
