To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.

Russian Colonel Gen Makarevich, who blew up Nova Kakhovka dam in Ukraine in 2023, has been sent to Venezuela to lead Russia’s military advisory mission there.
By blowing up the dam, he killed around 200 civilians.
As I mentioned, Russia managed to use DJT to push Maduro closer to them.

Absolutely right. And let’s be honest about the timing: every time accountability starts closing in on Trump: Epstein files, witnesses, reporting…suddenly there’s a brand-new “crisis” he manufactures to dominate the headlines. People’s lives aren’t a distraction tool.
We’re about to invade Venezuela because trump wants their oil. No other reason. The airspace has been cleared. Embassies are being evacuated. Flights are being canceled.
He’s going to kill people for oil.
