Can of worms. (Probably all named Trump or connected to him)
In declaring that the U.S. will be “running” Venezuela, the president has raised a host of questions: Will the United States have an occupying military force? Will it install a pliant government for some number of years? Will it run the courts, and determine who pumps the oil? All of this, of course, could enmesh the United States in the kind of “forever wars” Trump’s MAGA base has rejected.
Trump did talk at some length about bringing in American oil companies to remake the energy infrastructure and, presumably, regain rights it once held to exploit the oil reserves.

Daydreaming now about someone carrying out a similar covert operation on Trump and Melania tonight. Sauce for the goose and all that...
