Venezuela middle-fingers U.S. Navy

Anyone wanna guess how Trumpstien will play this one? I'm betting he'll employ the Houthi Option ... you know, where he bragged about how the Houthi's called him, "begging" him to stop the bombing (after they kicked the U.S. Navy out of the Red Sea, twice, losing 2 F-16's in the process, giving the poor Houthi's nothing to shoot at anymore. Yes sir, that's how Trump spells 'victory'.).

In the video below, Mearsheimer reveals the un-shocking truth in his first sentence; "I never thought i'd live to see the day when American warships would become sitting ducks in their own hemisphere, but that day has arrived.".

Obviously the U.S. wants Maduro out and perhaps they're silly enough to use military force to achieve what the CIA failed to do for decades. You'd think that maybe the U.S. would have learned a lesson or three after being humiliated in Ukraine, Israel and the Red Sea, but the moronic jackasses-in-charge (here's lookin' at you Petee) have demonstrated over and over again that they exist in some sort of alternate reality where Russia, Iran, the Houthi's, and now Venezuela, are inept paper tigers building crude bombs out of duct tape and old washing machine parts. In the real world things are a bit different. The Russians and Iranians possess an array of advanced hypersonic missiles for which the U.S. has no known defense and Russia has apparently supplied Venezuela with a slew of them. Hmmm... maybe Trump will have to break out some of those "advanced" weapons he brags about if he wants to score another 'win' here.

Trump says US has advanced weapons, of which many unaware - World - TASS

"You've been reading the wrong newspapers. We are way ahead of China militarily. The United States are way ahead of them in every form of military other than they're building a lot of ships. We'll be catching them on that," Trump said.

Trump stressed that artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are currently crucial.

"We're way ahead of China in AI and ahead of China militarily, from the standpoint of the sophisticated weapons, we have weapons that a lot of people don't even know about," he added.

The only thing the U.S. is way ahead of is its belligerent capacity to fail whilst isolating itself from the rest of the world. The U.S. military failed to defeat Yemen's Houthi's, failed spectacularly in its proxy war with Russia, despite supplying the miniature cross-dressing clown with billions worth of its "sophisticated weapons", failed to protect Israel with the "sophisticated weapons" they give them, and failed to "obliterate" Iran's nuclear weapons program ... mainly because it never had one, but that was never the real goal anyway, as we all know. The U.S. failed in Vietnam, failed in Iraq, failed in Afghanistan and, once again, its obsolete and decrepit war machine will likely fail in Venezuela, assuming they're actually stupid enough to pull the trigger. The only thing the U.S. hasn't failed in, is making oodles of money for the Jewish bankers and the military-industrial complex. Oh, and bombing "drug boats" that can't carry anywhere near the required volume of fuel to make it to the U.S., but, again, that was never the real goal anyway, as we all know.

Give Mearsheimer a listen. What he says applies to the entire failed U.S. empire:
