The truth in all of this is that oil companies have steered the United States into more wars, burned through more taxpayer money, and gotten more people and more Americans killed in the last 80 years than America’s worst enemies could possibly ever dream.
The idea that Trump-MAGA are "anti-interventionist" is based on a confused reading of their hatred of multilateralism and international law and institutions. I argued this during Iran bombing debate (h/t @zackbeauchamp.bsky.social and @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social):

If President Trump intends to put American boots on the ground in Venezuela, he should encourage Barron Trump to enlist. Put your own blood and treasure on the line, just like you require us to do. Show us you really mean AMERICA FIRST. Talk is cheap.

With Maduro in custody the big questions are what now and what are the consequences? Trump made it clear this is about oil and that the U.S. will “run” Venezuela. I worry he has no idea the implications of this operation and that puts Americans and our national security at risk.

"If we hadn’t already, we’ve unquestionably joined the league of ordinary nations—a league in which we’re acting as little more than a bully, and in circumstances in which no obvious principle of self-defense, human rights, or even humantarianism writ large justifies our bellicosity."

200. Five Questions About the Maduro Arrest Operation
Friday night's U.S. military operation in Venezuela was a textbook violation of international law. It's also entirely unauthorized by U.S. law, which ought to (but probably won't) matter.

The hedgies seem to believe there is or shortly will be something called a government in VZ, and that it'll be safe for them to travel there in March.
It's almost like the hedgies knew more about this invasion than Congress.

VP Delcy Rodriguez, whom Trump indicated earlier today was collaborating with the US government, is live on television right now.
Earlier reports that she's in Russia are false. She's in Caracas with the rest of the cabinet.

The US is now responsible for the governance of Venezuela. Toppling the regime of a smaller country is always the easy part. The hard part is what comes after. Neo-cons always expect a pro-US nirvana. It rarely works out. But I suppose the oil companies can seize some assets.

Market concentration → Less competition → Higher prices for consumers → Corporate profits at 70-year high → Record stock buybacks → Higher shareholder value → More power for corporations and the rich.
