Unintended Consequences..Something for Americans to think about.

Donald Trumps actions in Venezuela constitute War Crimes. Thats a legal fact, whether you agree with it or not.. And this opens the door to every single person in American uniform around the globe being under direct threat of reprisals. Not to mention every US diplomatic corp member.. This could backfire bigly..😷

Easier for him to rack up another "peace settlement" for that elusive Nobel Prize when it is your own war you are ending.

On a more serious note, U.S. military adventures and incursions into Latin American countries' affairs unfortunately never seems to lead to being held accountable. Certainly the arrest/deposing of Noriega in Panama and the "liberation" of Grenada did not in most recent history. Even despite the major fiasco at the Bay of Pigs, our actions during the Cuban Missile Crisis led to the Soviet Union backing off and no one holding us accountable. And that's just in my life-time.

@dancingtongue The Cuban missile crisis is oft quoted. But not well understood..The move by Moscow was in fact a response to US missiles being put in place in Turkey, only a few minutes flight time from Russia. Russia wanted to place an equal threat on America, which had the luxury of being half a world away from any close threat..😷

Let's wait and see, I think it will turn out for the best.

@fanuc2013 Thats what the Indonesians thought about the Japanese, for a while..😷
Which will undoubtedly be another crisis for Trump to resolve.

How would reprisals affect Trump?

It's not like he gives a flying F about anyone or anything else.

I’m actually super surprised another attempt for his life has not been made. Americans have hi tolerance for atrocities.@MistyCee

@Wiseacre More a preference to not make him a martyr for the MAGA crowd, like Charlie Kirk.

@dancingtongue I have a rider on that. War "American style" is profitable. Just dont have the war on your own soil and get your allies to buy all their arms from you..😷
What's the down side? War is profitable.
