Can you believe how congressional Republicans are just sitting there, doing nothing, while Trump 2.0 pulls the building down on their heads?
There are lots of (usually) astute political commentators out there who are being naive about Trump 2.0's saber rattling in the Caribbean. It is only partly about blocking Leftism, or defending the Monroe Doctrine, or getting the oil of Venezuela.
Trump 2.0 is deliberately creating a distraction with Venezuela so that you won't pay attention to:
1. Trump's war against Russia in the Ukraine is turning into a real defeat. He will get the blame for this. He won't be able to play the 'this is Biden's war' card.
2. Israel is slaughtering people in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and Syria and seizing their land. On any given day, they can commit another atrocity that gets headline attention.
Trump is happy as long as the American public is being fooled. It doesn't matter what it takes. Double-taps on survivors clinging to a burning boat? Extra-judicial murders, illegal orders? So what!? In show business, there is no such thing as bad publicity.
