Republicans largely harbor no such fears of Venezuela becoming a similar quagmire.

They harbor no such fears about any of the quagmires they get into because they are all heavily invested in the military industrial complex.

Their aim is not to liberate Venezuela, but to destroy it and steal the oil.

Classic dictator 101: If you have domestic problems, solve them with international politics. Create a „rally around the flag“ moment.

It's important to mind your own fucking business. The US clearly have enough issues to solve themselves. And I would guess that a lot of drug users were homemade by their own pharma industry. But sure, killing innocent people in other countries will help tremendously.

if trump slaughtered a child under the washington monument, congressional republicans would ask "why this man has not been nominated for the nobel peace prize".

I hope conservative voters are watching, because I'm pretty sure they have no appetite for this.

Ugh who the fuck am I kidding
