Trump, just now: Military action not off the table for Venezuela

[JA]

Meanwhile Trump is in love with al-Sisi, Duterte, Putin, and every other vengeful dictator that exists.

I'm not saying that as any kind of defense of Maduro. Maduro is a bastard who should be locked away for a long time. but Military Action in this situation is god damn cuckoo.

Military action is only a possibility in Washington against left-wing or uncooperative states. They're perfectly happy hanging out with and arming States like Saudi Arabia where democracy bloggers are imprisoned and whipped, and people still have their heads chopped off.

It's the narcissism again.
He sees the news where they show him talking "tough" (supposedly) about North Korea, and he gets a major hard-on from that.
So like a 13-year child, he continues to talk in this manner to get more attention, but thinks nothing about the consequences of his neurotic words.
The man is very mentally ill !

Trump may articulate these issues at a 3rd grade level and through the medium of his narcissistic brain rage posting on Twitter and attention whoring for the media, but Trump's policies represent large financial and powerful interests within the United States. His Administration does nothing without having an underlying motivation for it - one which is obscured by the Democrats' and media's obsessions over his personal antics. If North Korea is attacked or Venezuela is invaded, it's not simply because Trump threw a tantrum - it was calculated, intentional, and aimed at achieving specific foreign policy objectives that advance particular American financial and power interests.

Trump is a mentally ill man who would be a very poor president even if he were sane. That's the reality. Sure, powerful interests may influence the government  in various ways. But seeing some sort of Illuminati-like plot behind his nonsense is just searching for comfort in some sort of order rather than acknowledging the reality: the Republican Party and their fellow travelers have put a stupid madman in charge of the most powerful military and economic engine in history.

Who's talking about conspiracy theories? What I said is about as conspiratorial as saying America's domestic policy is primarily driven by lobbyists, donors, and other influential financial figures and institutions. The same applies to our foreign policy. Follow the connections between Trump advisors, administration officials, and who'd benefit from X foreign policy. To honestly believe our foreign policy is entirely at the whim of Trump and unmoored from any particular objectives is either naive or stupid; your choice.
