I keep reading about overtures with Iraq and Venezuela. Is this a coincidence?

Can't we just dust off the nuclear war threads from 2 years ago?

Tough rhetoric, sanctions, etc. have been going on between the US and Iran, Venezuela, NK etc. through many years.

To suddenly think OMG! This means Trumps gonna start a war is either gross partisanship or someone still in their teens that hasn't the history to know better.

Tell you what, just google a bit and you'll be greatly relieved that this is nothing new or especially noteworthy.

Zero chance was the same chance he had in 2016. If you're serious about beating someone, don't underestimate them twice.

Hmm I agree here... although in reverse. For me it was more of an overestimation of the American public's ability to discern obvious bull**** when they see it.

Dont worry I wont make that mistake ever again.

Sending troops to Venezuela, if it happened, would not be sufficient to get America to rally behind the President in my view. You aren't going to get people patriotically worked up over a small scale incursion involving entirely Venezuelan problems that don't affect 99% of Americans directly.

Being able to BS the public is part and parcel of the politician though.

It's one of his only "presidential" features lmao.

Biden's got it locked up already. Spread the word and stay home on election day.

No need to go out and vote.

Have you been to Venezuela lately? It's pretty crappy down there at the moment.
