One thing I’ve been thinking about is if the rest of the MIC is using Trump to do unpopular stuff on their behalf, and then when he keels over, Dems, European leaders, and others can turn around and declare “a time for healing” or whatever other bullshit they put out while holding onto the imperial gains. This would basically be the same as what happened with Bush Jr. I fucking hate it.
Absolutely, it almost feels like a now or never effort before a democrat inevitably gets in. More than just Bush Jr though, I feel like that’s been the cycle for decades upon decades in most western countries since the 1940’s. The right get in, make a shit load of changes unimpeded, and then democrat equivalents regain a few meaningless scraps. Then the right get in again.
There is a theory out there that Cuba is the ultimate target here (cutting off Cuba from Venezuela economically). I’m not sure I believe that if we’re talking overall strategy but I can see that as Rubio’s personal mission, though.
Been glued to the live news all morning, can’t unsee the bombed city. The billowing smoke gives me shades of Chile in 1973:

Ratchet effect working as intended.

It is. Rubio wants to make Cuba an American colony.
