You know whatâs weak & stupid? Dragging us into another costly endless war that puts our troops & innocent civilians in harmâs way. Strong leaders have moral clarity & use power responsibly. Weak men like Trump make other peoplesâ kids fight in their unnecessary, illegal wars.

China strongly condemned the overnight U.S. strike on Venezuela and the capture of President NicolĂĄs Maduro, which came just hours after a Chinese special envoy met with the Venezuelan leader to reaffirm Beijingâs support for the imperiled regime.

There is only one motive: to seize more money. There is only one pathway: to destroy the lives of anyone standing in the way. There is only one narrative: shame & blame some "other" to keep people from joining together & taking on the billionaires.

We should be all extremely concerned that Gaza and the West Bank has fallen off the news agenda. Since the so called ceasefire Israel has killed 1000 Palestinians and banned over 30 well respected humanitarian orgs. Gaza is also grappling with flooding, high winds & extreme cold.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people donât want to ârunâ a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Even if Trumpâs attack on Venezuela and kidnapping of Maduro somehow led to a positive impact on Venezuelaâs future, it would not make these actions by the United States legal, moral or wise. Normalising and legitimising this behaviour endangers all countries - democracies and dictatorships alike.

The US is now responsible for the governance of Venezuela. Toppling the regime of a smaller country is always the easy part. The hard part is what comes after. Neo-cons always expect a pro-US nirvana. It rarely works out. But I suppose the oil companies can seize some assets.
