I learned in all of this that the Cubans provided Maduro’s crack security team. That combined with just elevating the deputy just adds to the whole “Rome trying to fix a wayward client kingdom without devoting a whole legion to it” vibes we are giving here. Sassanids (Chinese) in shambles, already scheming how to reassert themselves in Armenia.- Things not going well in Venezuela
I remember my first pupusas, gave me the sad.- Things not going well in Venezuela
All Latin American food outside of Mexico and some of the Caribbean islands is pretty mid. God gave Mexico maybe the greatest cuisine on the planet and then shrugged as he went south. A few real gems like some South American ceviches and southern cone wine and grilled meats but none of it is close to a good mole or jerk.- Things not going well in Venezuela
Bro really was just too cringe and had to go. Could have been living in an Ottoman palace concocting schemes but he had to sing “Imagine.”- Things not going well in Venezuela
LOL, I love these guys. Really rising to the moment and trying to make hay while the sun shines.- Things Not Going Well in Venezuela, 2.0
Not a football movie, The Last Boy Scout. And the gunman was an offensive player, I think. Peak Bruce Willis.- Things not going well in Venezuela
So what happens if Maduro gets acquitted? Do we send him back? Lots of opportunities for hilarity here.- Things not going well in Venezuela
Well, the Chinese insist that invading Taiwan would be totally legal under international law and spend a lot of time trying to diplomatically trick other countries into agreeing. Then they say “no backsies.” This really isn’t an exaggeration.- Things not going well in Venezuela
Our Gulf Coast refineries are specifically built to refine it.- Things not going well in Venezuela
Hence, Cody Campbell and TTU NIL in shambles.- Things not going well in Venezuela
Starmer’s left flank will explode over this tepid statement.- Things not going well in Venezuela
It’s not neocon unless it comes from the neocon offices of AEI, otherwise it’s just sparkling imperialism.- Things not going well in Venezuela
I bet he asked to be in a different cell on the Iwo Jima. “You said not to worry, you knew what you’re doing.”- Things not going well in Venezuela
Merz too, basically saying he’s going to put questions about the means on the back burner.- Things not going well in Venezuela
I didn’t expect Macron to endorse this, this hard. Trying to keep the Ukraine discussions inside the lines.- Things not going well in Venezuela
I think that Ukraine offered a tremendous opportunity to reinvigorate both NATO and reinforce clear norms in a way that we could use to our benefit and we are squandering jit to run up the score on an FCS team.- Things not going well in Venezuela
Counter point: Cody Campbell and the Tech NIL fund stand to be some of the biggest losers.- Things not going well in Venezuela
Missing the point IMO, the U.S. and allies invented these concepts because they help us more often than not and blatantly throwing them away in favor Russian-style gibberish takes a tool away from us that they didn’t have available. It wasn’t a silver bullet but it was helpful to have available which is why even GWB worked so hard to try and reconcile the concepts.- Things not going well in Venezuela
“We really appear to have learned from the Russians” is not an endorsement.- Things not going well in Venezuela
Moscow reports appear to have been inaccurate and it looks like the Veep got an offer she couldn’t refuse.- Things not going well in Venezuela
And Monroe himself didn’t have the ability to back it up and outsourced it to the British. It’s always been a general warning to outside the hemisphere powers that the United States considered itself the regional hegemon with a lot of leeway on what that means tied to ambition and capabilities. You seem to be confusing explanation with endorsement, so I’ll abandon this exchange here.- Things not going well in Venezuela
Think of this in comparison to Crimea or what China might do to Taiwan. Blockade, lots of strikes on drug boats just to get people used to our presence and slowly shift the norms. A series of conflicting but also self-reinforcing demands and explanations. Cultivating ties with opposition figured to boost credibility. A large military force comes in, grabs the President, and takes him to NYC. We announce its a “law enforcement” operation. Then we say we will “run the country” but don’t explain how or what except that we will get the oil fields running. We leave it open to interpretation what that means and maybe we haven’t even decided, leaving ambiguity. Did we go to war? Did we do a regime change? Did we just arrest a criminal? All of those? Something else? Very Russian vibes. Hybrid/gray zone. We just didn’t use little green men, we used “FBI and DEA agents” that are clearly not FBI or DEA. And an amphibious assault ship that also doesn’t belong to the DEA.- Things not going well in Venezuela
I’m realizing that everything about this from the operation to the PC ro the “law enforcement” angle is a master class in hybrid warfare. Lots of growth opportunities for people to write think pieces on US gray zone tactics- Things not going well in Venezuela
I think in a lot of places the coherence falls apart and it makes a lot of assumptions on the mechanics especially in Europe and the Indo-Pacific. It’s clear that they think a lot about economics and this hemisphere. - Things not going well in Venezuela
