Trump's actions in Venezuela fit with his desire to divert attention from his failures at home: his losses in the courts, his unpopular budget bill, skyrocketing health insurance premiums, the cost of living crisis, etc.

When he feels humiliated, he gets reckless.

Understand what's going on.

The German Dunkelflaute (meaning "dark doldrums") is known in English as anticyclonic gloom. High pressure traps clouds at a lower level, makes everything seem dark and dreary, and increases the probability and longevity of fog. Happy November, everyone.
