We're not in charge but we're calling the shots.
The president’s declaration came just hours after Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. will not govern Venezuela, but instead use an oil blockade to coerce changes.

It's coming home to roost for Putin.
An intelligence report says Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has prepared a contingency plan to flee to Moscow if nationwide unrest escalates and security forces begin to defect or disobey orders.

Dems aren't recognizing what a huge blow to Moscow the Venezuela operation is. Brilliantly executed, too: no invasion, no loss of American life. Definitely America First since we're not allowing Russia, Iran, and China to use Venezuela as a hub for anti-American ops.

Warning to Democrats about Venezuela. Hearing them talk, I think they're painting themselves into a corner. What I hear them saying is that they were going to allow Russia, Iran, and China to continue using Venezuela as a base of operations to undermine and one day possibly attack the US.

Is he talking about the inauguration of the ballroom or of the president?
Trump on the ballroom: "It's bigger than I told you. It's, you know -- after realizing we're gonna do the inauguration in that building, it's got all bulletproof glass, it's got all drone, they call it drone-free roof. It's dronessss -- won't touch it. It's a big beautiful safe building."

Having said that, I don't think the parallel between Putin's invasion of Ukraine and Trump's actions disrupting drug running operations and enforcing oil sanctions holds up. The violent subjugation of Greenland would offer more of a parallel.
There's a good way to exert influence -- and a bad way.

Zelensky proposed that Trump grant Ukraine long-term security guarantees lasting 30 to 50 years, calling it a potential “historic decision” by the president. “The war has already lasted nearly 15 years,” Zelensky said. Trump responded that he would consider it.
