Distraction 101: Binging them Opinions

On September 2, the United States An exciting military strike On a quick boat in the southern Caribbean Sea Violation From international law and the United States. The heavy attack resulted in the killing of 11 civilians on board, as US President Donald Trump had been resolved in a magically in a way to be two drug stores belonging to Venezuela. Arajwa train ring.

The scene was organized in the midst of continuous Publishing American warships Just the Venezuelan coast under the pretext of fighting “drugs” whose leader, according to Trump’s current novel, is the Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro – there is no surprise given the country’s long role as a thorn in the United States of the United States.

Warning that these attacks will continue, the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio explained The objection of alleged drug boats simply does not work: “What will stop them is when it explodes, when you get rid of them.”

Meanwhile, Trump noticed the decline in the movement of boats near the strike site, perhaps because of the fact that people who are hunting for a living now are afraid for their lives: “I don’t even know about the fishermen. They may say,” I do not get the boat. I will not take a chance. “

As with most of the situations in which the United States claims to fight terrorism, this episode seemed to some extent in nature – especially given the hint that the president is going through that fishermen or anyone else on a boat can be targeted indiscriminately at any time.

On September 5, Hegeon’s Supreme Commander signed an executive order Rename The US Department of Defense “The Ministry of War”. This is from a president, as you know, keeping the United States outside the wars.

With its distinctive eloquence, Trump announced that changing the name will disappear from a supposed “wake up” trend that prevents decisive victories and entering into an era of military victory: “We could win every war, but we really chose to be true or wake up.”

Do not care that the “political correctness” is not exactly the first description that comes to mind when looking at the American military massacre of civilians in Afghanistan, Iraq and beyond. US Defense Secretary Beit Higseth, who will be referred to from now on the name of “Minister of War”, agreed that the rename of the brand is necessary to “restore the spirit of the warrior.”

But why is the sudden need of Trump to display a warrior image by bombing a quick boat in the Caribbean area? In short, it is a suitable distraction from the unpleasant president’s failure on other fronts to upgrade his amazing superior vision of himself.

His warning to Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine, for example, has proven that it is in fruitful. An intermittent pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was previously concluded Collective genocide in the Gaza StripWhere in less than two years, Israel Nominate More than 64,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children.

So why not refine the “warrior spirit” against easier goals – which may include or not include Caribbean fishermen?

Of course, this is not the first time that Trump put Venezuela at his intersection. In 2019, during his first presidential term, his administration took the freedom to recognize Juan GuidoThe unknown right -wing character, who automatically declared the temporary president of Venezuela, to replace Maduro by default.

Things did not go as planned, and Guido ended in Miami – but may help the American warships surrounding Venezuela to change the speed system.

Not, certainly, this is the first time that the United States has possessed Using ancient drug war as an excuse to kill civilians abroadThe arrangement of a hypocrite with special dimensions in particular, given that the United States itself was at the level of its ears in the global drug trade Since a large extent forever.

As for the concept of “drugs” that are currently called by Trump, this is Return to He suggested renewing the 2006 Patriot Law after the US drug enforcement agency, for fear of losing its importance in the era of the entire “war on terror”, the new crime as a “prominent threat” to the homeland.

So, while Trump’s Caribbean confrontation is not a completely deviation from previous American policy, his endeavor to master the art of total confusion that makes him a fairly unique show.

To date, the Trump administration I refrained from the show Any evidence of Maduro’s alleged relationships. But, hey, the evidence is just something “wake up”, right?

At the end of the day, it is not really Maduro or Venezuela. It comes to Trump’s need to offer power by detonating things.

In August, Trump organized a summit in Alaska with Putin, outwardly to end the war in Ukraine, but in reality he distracts from Maga Infurt – including the issue of Netanyahu’s insistence on continuing to detonate things in Gaza.

Now, Venezuela is working as the chosen distraction from the weak president’s offer against both Putin and Netanyahu, as well as a place to recover the “ethics of the warrior” fueled by testosterone.

As the new Ministry of War continues to bomb international and local law alongside the Caribbean car boat, more than just fishermen who need anxiety.
