"Putin has not won a victory on the battlefield, but in terms of subterfuge and cynicism, he is king. Putin has activated an American traitor in full view of the world. He has reduced the United States to an isolated, hated and weakened regime."

If the current US administration is indeed planning for a post-international-law world, Trump's "special military operation" in Venezuela starts to make sense. It would also help explain the recent massive financial support to Argentina.
Fox News is reporting that sweeping U.S. buildup is about more than Maduro:
“It’s about getting Russia, China and Iran OUT of the western hemisphere.”

Can someone convince me Trump's very own "special military operation" against Venezuela isn't about the largest oil reserves on the planet, or fuelling patriotic "support for the troops" as a political boost, or mostly distracting everyone from the release of the Epstein files?

So much pressure now from Putin to shorten the war.
