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.”

Merz too, basically saying he’s going to put questions about the means on the back burner.

I didn’t expect Macron to endorse this, this hard. Trying to keep the Ukraine discussions inside the lines.

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.

Counter point: Cody Campbell and the Tech NIL fund stand to be some of the biggest losers.

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.

“We really appear to have learned from the Russians” is not an endorsement.

Moscow reports appear to have been inaccurate and it looks like the Veep got an offer she couldn’t refuse.

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.

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.

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

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.

I encourage people to read the NSS, the shift of language from energy independence to energy dominance is a key one. De facto control of Venezuelan reserves means is the difference between petroleum not being a tool that can be wielded against us and one we can begin to wield. This is all in line with that doc.

@InkaUtexas will have more info but I think it’s more likely that the remaining security services heads are ready to do a negotiated regime change in exchange for some type of immunity. They just watched the last president get black bagged. This isn’t Iraq or Syria, there’s no Iran to funnel in arms and exploit sectarian/clan divides. There’s no hardcore devoted to Maduroism as an animating and religious force among the peasantry. There’s just exhausted Venezuelans cowed by a brittle regime and if most of them believe they can just fade away quietly, they will do it.

I was told that WWIII was why we needed to get rid of Biden and reheated neocons and replace them with more responsible and restrained thinkers such as Tulsi and Hegseth and Bridge Colby. Perhaps Nuland infected them on her way out.

30 years from now there will be a footnote in a journal article about how Tulsi briefed Trump on where Delta Force could find and black-bag Maduro then logged off her home kit and did some aloha posting.

It’s gonna be really funny if the Chinese are still there.- What's happening in Iran?
Russia has to be one of the leaders in the clubhouse and even then it would only be just a few of the really top echelon. Ain’t no one opening the doors for the IRCG folks. “Never live your life where asylum in Moscow is a possibility” is solid life advice. But I think these people either crush the protests or or go down with the ship. - Things not going well in Venezuela
