Trump and his cronies needed some excuse to invade Venezuela and take their oil. They made it up: "stop drug trafficking" and "stop narco-terrorism." Except that's all bullshit. They want the oil. That's it. Everything else you see them saying on TV is just a lie.

I have to hand it to Trump (or whoever is advising him, probably Stephen Miller). If they can get their hands on Venezuelan oil reserves, the price of gasoline in the United States will probably be less than a dollar a gallon. It's a hell of a way to try and win re-election. But considering that Americans were dumb enough to vote Trump back into power after he committed a thousand more crimes than Richard Nixon, this gamble will probably pay off for Trump and the Republicans. Americans love cheap gasoline more than anything else. Let's face it, Trump was proven to be a pedophile who raped teenage girls with Jeffrey Epstein, and all of my Republican friends just kept posting pictures of gas stations. "Look! Gas is less than 2 bucks a gallon here in Arkansaw! Yee-Haw!"

Of course, starting regime change wars without congressional approval will upset global peace and global manufacturing and trade (our actions in Venezuela basically say to China--go ahead and invade Taiwan), and lots of very, very bad dominoes will start to fall as America becomes the global bad guys of the 21st Century (yes, MAGA, you can't see it now, but we are the new Germany and your boy is the new Adolph in the eyes of the world, and no, that isn't good, that isn't good at all). But hey, time to fire up that old Camaro in the garage, because gas will get really, really cheap. Congratulations, America! You did this to yourself. Being the bad guys of the whole world is NOT the power flex you think it is.

I just can't believe we live in the dumbest timeline ever. Where are the friggin' adults in the room? We are being led by a moron advised by evil morons, surrounded by yes men. I'd give anything to have a responsible adult like Richard Nixon as president right now...and in case you're wondering, NO THIS ISN'T GOING TO END WELL. Happy War, everybody!
