The Syria offensive has emboldened the warhawks, but they're out of their fuckin minds if they think the rest of Latin America/Russia would just twiddle their thumbs as they do it.

The US can't even prevent leftists getting elected in their own hemisphere anymore. The ME and north Africa are the only places its still having successes.

Sounds cooler if you understand the title as an invasion of the US by Venezuela

Disturbing. Biden certainly kept the election interference operations going, and narco gang support. It's hard to imagine a more overt operation than the bay of piglets. Would need to move air carrier battle group away from Israel. Bombing all the things would send immigrant caravans north.

It's same playbook as Ukraine. To destabilize enough to buy everything cheap. With Israel not directly benefitting, it would be a hard media/public sale for such obvious demonic imperialism.

The US military establishment is not so stupid as to get engaged in multiple simultaneous conflicts on multiple continents in multiple oceans

Somehow I can't help but doubt that.

Could the recent "Venezuelan gangs" psyop be manufacturing consent for this?

Daddy Putin will not let us invade Venezuela. He is our defacto leader now.
