There was an end game, several goals for invading Iraq. I can’t see us doing more than threatening to invade Venezuela. So I do see this as a way to claim victory against a cartel, against Venezuela, instilling more fear in undocumented people, and reinforcing his base. Theater.

Mob indeed… surprised they allowed these photos we’ve seen. They all Look Like the Jack-Booted Thugs they are. Including wearing

of the “ski-masks”. Guess they figure they’ve got the ultimate power, and enough people who’re brainwashed into believing this is ok.

While I agree that there are similarities between the use of faulty intelligence. The difference here is that rump is not using it to invade another sovereign country. Iraq became a REAL problem for the US was when during the peace, Bush's transition governor forced out all of the Sunnis from their positions and turned them into an armed trained resistance force.
