This is all true but
1) under no definition are we currently at war with Venezuela under domestic US law
2) since we aren’t, the initial strike was just as much a murder as the follow up
The failure to understand this by a huge range of actors is really driving me up the wall.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.

"Anti-woke" is just seeking license to be an asshole.
Tim Walz: "Trump is like, 'this is language policing. You guys are woke.' Many times it's just about being decent to people and making them feel included. You can use that word, sure. But you shouldn't. And that's something that Donald Trump fails to realize."

Notice that MAGA never refers to Putin as a “warmonger.” You know, the guy who started the war, bombs civilian population centers daily, & refuses to sign a ceasefire. Nope, according to MAGA, Putin isn’t the warmonger - it’s the people who support Ukraine’s refusal to surrender.

He had an army of bots who sold his racism and misogyny and xenophobia to uneducated Americans who took voting advice from bald eagle profiles posting Tweets from Eastern Europe.

Pretty obvious what happened
Team Trump, high on their own supply and sympathetic to Russia, thought they could make Ukraine surrender and declare Trump a glorious peacemaker.
Then they got out of their bubble into reality, embarrassingly flopped, and are now scrambling to lie trying to save face.

One of the reasons we need universal basic income plus higher taxes on the rich is to boost the spending power of the bottom 60% and in doing so, reorient our economy around the needs of the majority of people who comprise it. As inequality has increased, our economy has adjusted to meet rich wants.

It's unsurprising Trump is trying again to blackmail Ukraine into surrender. Keep in mind that Ukrainians have always been clear-eyed about the fickleness of the US as an ally. Ukraine has never been a US proxy. It fights for its independence and sovereignty and a US betrayal won't change that.
