Is the 'peace president' about to start another war?

After supporting a genocide in Gaza, starting and losing a war in Yemen, bombing Iran and continuing a war in Ukraine now Trump wants the US to start a war with Venezuela? Has the US lost its mind or is it under foreign control?

Yes. Trump's saying Venezuela is going to get it because they STOLE our oil.

It's the same US policy as ever, but we're going to NEED to pause on the way to taking Russia and then China to refuel in all of latin America. First Venezuela, then Cuba, Nicaragua and Brazil. Nothing has changed.

@Roundandroundwego I think the US is trying, too late and in the wrong way, to keep its empire intact. Sadly the US blew all the good will it may have had in 1945 by being a shoot 'em up cowboy instead of a good neighbour. China has taken the neighbourly route and so has left the US on the outside looking in and brandishing its pistols like all cowboys do. Complete lack of understanding as to why the empire is failing. Kind of sad but kind of funny at the same time.
