Why Trump’s Proposal to Invade Venezuela Is Worth Taking Seriously
9th July 2018
Read it.
I mean, really, we haven’t invaded anybody for years…. We need the practice.
Most dismiss the Trump Venezuela story as an example of Trump’s impulsivity on a matter that he does not fully understand. That may be true, although the idea itself is not without reason or precedent. It is also increasingly discussed by the many Venezuelans living in exile or fighting the regime from the inside.
And ‘most’ are just plain stupid.
Trump is merely being a typical CEO, and asking an obvious question so that his staff are forced to articulate the reasons behind a position that everyone knows at the gut level is correct but that would benefit from bringing all of the data out into the open to be considered explicitly.
The problem here is that most ‘journalists’ are profoundly ignorant of how real-world organizations make decisions. Most of them wouldn’t know a cost-benefit analysis if it pissed on their legs.
