A lot of folks are talking about the immediate impact, but I wanted to focus on how this strike will reverberate globally.

1. A blockade is an act of war

2. The idea that Venezuela has stolen land from the United States is so laughably stupid on its face that even some of his base is like 🤨

3. It’s always about oil.
