I also have been assuming that the primary purpose of this conflict is domestic
I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.

Lib Dems call for inquiry into hostile foreign state interference to include US

This is a really, really, stupid move. People (and by that I mean military families) know to a T what they are owed, what they can count on, what resources are available to them to make ends meet. You can’t rob peter to pay Paul and expect either to be happy.
No surprise.
He took congressionally approved housing funds, repackaged them as a “bonus,” and took credit.
That’s not support for troops, it’s deception.
He truly only cares about himself.👇
