And here’s the Wall Street Journal dutifully following orders using the new term “Western Hemisphere”. Trump and his pals have made it clear and started using this in the last few days openly sharing their intent to take over the Western Hemisphere.

They’ve been planning the Venezuela attack since at least August. Oil companies knew.
Congress didn’t. Not briefed. Not consulted.
And Trump’s oil fantasy isn’t a quick win. Venezuela’s oil is a decade-long infrastructure project, while he’s gutting infrastructure here.
But America First?
