venezuela may not be the target. these guys can turn on a dime.

and the very richest guys in florida really want, well, a place very different and maybe closer to home.

They’re going to want some other epic distraction to consume the media from that vote

Told my husband this a few hours ago.

Most of that 12,000 are sailors, the Iwo Jima Amphibious Group carries just the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), which comprises a Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron, a Combat Logistics Battalion, and a Battalion Landing Team.
1 or 2 Battalions are not enough.

In theory the 82nd Airborne could jump in and take a airport to fly in more troops but that's pretty risky without lots of prep getting air superiority & degrading air defenses & nearby forces.

Not much time left.

HAHAHAHAHA God damn i'm funny. "Congress has to approve a war". Oh man, I crack myself up. I should have done standup for a living, honestly.

for a war against Venezuela?

the Iraq war...


I tend to believe and hope that this is just standard 'gunboat diplomacy'...
