       This is disheartening. WaPo editorial board goes full cheerleader for Trump's invasion of Venezuela. https://archive.ph/5iVFN

       NYT: "President Trump said the United States would “run” Venezuela “until such time that we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition,” following the U.S. military operation that captured the country’s president, Nicolás Maduro, and his wife.""Mr. Trump offered few details about how the United States would oversee Venezuela, saying only that “a group” would do so. It was not clear whether that would involve an occupying military force, but Mr. Trump said he was not afraid of “boots on the ground.”https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01/03/world/trump-united-states-strikes-venezuela

       Statements that upon reading in a newspaper story I would assume were written by the White House or the military itself: "Details are still emerging, but what happened in Caracas was a clear reminder that America’s military and intelligence capabilities are second to none.""What are Iranian leaders thinking now as they consider how to respond to widespread anti-government protests? Are the communists in Cuba sleeping well?"

       the NYT, cont'd: Pressed by reporters on who would be running Venezuela, Trump points to his advisers standing behind him and says that for a “period of time” the “people that are standing right behind me, we’re going to be running it.”Some of the advisers standing behind him include Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and General Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Trump said the United States would be a part of an unspecified “group” running Venezuela without providing details.

       Also, in what universe is the US invading Venezuela a test of our military and intelligence prowess?

       My favorite line: "Now he should spend the rest of his life in a humane American prison."Hahahahahahahh. Yeah, nobody does prisons like the US. More humans than humanes is our motto.

       @briankrebs In the past shenanigans though usually venal had some subtlety to cover them, however thin.  This time I think it's just a blatant oil grab. It makes things much more starkly scary.

       @briankrebs Reading this a day later it sounds like I'm in favor of better cover stories.
