"Trump is drunk on war. The spectacle of violence on behalf of naked plunder gives him a sense of power. During his press conference on Saturday, Trump exulted, 'Overwhelming American military power, air, land, and sea was used to launch a spectacular assault, and it was a—an assault like people have not seen since World War II.'”

Donald Trump Is Drunk on War

The Venezuelan coup opens the gates to a new era of imperial plunder.

"With his domestic support flailing and his reputation threatened by new revelations of his ties to the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, Trump is turning to foreign policy as an arena where he can still flex his muscles. This is especially true in the Western Hemisphere, where the United States has long enjoyed a de facto sphere of influence under the dubious justification of the Monroe Doctrine."

"The Venezuelan coup created the type of ultraviolent spectacle that Trump revels in, but it had little rationale other than providing an advertisement for Trump’s vision of a world of unbridled imperial plunder divided into spheres of influence."

"Donald Trump doesn’t do restraint. He doesn’t do 'one and done.' He does Lays Potato Chips; one of his favorite snacks on Air Force One. 'You can’t stop with just one.' Not one wife. Not one golf course. Not one building. Not one award. Not one raid."

Trump Never Stops At One

Trump’s Caracas grab wasn’t strategy; it was appetite, precedent, and permission—signaling a world where power takes what it wants and calls escalation leadership.
