Venezuela Prepares for War With U.S.

[Anomalocaris]

The Grand Fenwick Strategy is predicated on picking a fight with someone with deep pockets and a susceptibility to guilt.  Venezuela threatening war with Peru right now isn't going to have the desired result.

Granted, it would just be easier to dispense with the war and for the US to start sending them medicine, food, TP, medicine, food, money, food, medicine, building supplies, medicine, food and money unbidden, but so far, Venezuela hasn't really gotten any attention that they can put on their dinner plates. Sinking a USN navigation buoy and then immediately surrendering is probably a pretty damn good idea.

Beats mass starvation which is where it's headed if they don't do something.

Do you think anyone else in the world still believes that an united States which can put trump into the supreme office can still be susceptible to guilt whatever it's transgressions?

And let's be clear, never has the united States dispensed any significant aid out of guilt, whatever the magnitude of its transgressions, even if portions of the population did indeed feel guilt.  The united States has only ever dispensed any significant aid for the following reasons:
1.  Its businesses detect profit opportunities for themselves which requires priming from the public purse.
2.  It needs to prop up a regime for geopolitical reasons
3.  the recipient has a large and influential lobby in the united States which can to be appeased for private political gains of our elected officials and public servants.

Which reason fits Venezuela?

Correction: Trump mouths off and makes idle threats left and right.

I think sometimes Trump is taking a dump on the toilet, and he strains to push a turd out and in the struggle he just spouts out barely intelligible threats to different countries, randomly.

Of course he does the same thing when he's not pooping too but with him it's really hard to tell the difference between shitting and talking.

The poop comes out both ends.

Maybe Donald Trump is a duck?

According to the story background for Judge Dredd, an American politician basically stole the presidency.

This man's name was Robert. L Booth.

He was a megalomaniac who threatened the world and, eventually, launched a global nuclear conflict in 2070.

Is the prediction coming true earlier but with different players?

I'll see your Judge Dredd and raise you one Dead Zone.
