Nobel prize committee please note that just as Trump's Epstein Filegate is Stupid Watergate, so Trump's "Operation Blow Shit Up And Take The Oil" is just Stupid Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Lie about the pretext, build up a huge military presence, start bombing (when shit goes wrong and war crimes are committed, insist that it's all legal and/or blame underlings) ... (From Vox)
The twisted reason why Trump is bombing Venezuelan boats
For this administration, war crimes are a feature, not a bug.
In early September, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the US military to “kill everybody” aboard a speedboat in the Caribbean.
A missile then shattered the vessel and set its fragments ablaze. When the smoke cleared, US surveillance drones showed two people clinging to the smoldering wreckage. An admiral then ordered a second strike against these flailing survivors — an act that violated a wide array of international and domestic laws.
Or at least, this is what a recent report in the Washington Post alleges.
The Trump administration publicly insists that the Post’s account is “fake news.” In closed-door briefings with lawmakers, Pentagon officials have reportedly claimed that the second strike was not intended to kill survivors, but rather, to sink the boat so as to clear a navigation hazard for other vessels. Yet, the administration has refused to provide either the public or members of Congress with unedited video footage of the bombings...
... then, when everything is in place, in brazen act of unprovoked conquest, roll in heavy and attempt to seize the nation's oil reserves.
