Here’s Richard Haass’ initial take on Trump’s special military operation:
The operation captures the essence of Trump’s foreign policy. It was unilateral to its core. It paid little heed to legality or international opinion. It emphasized the Western Hemisphere rather than Europe, the Indo-Pacific, or the Middle East. The goal was commercial benefit, in this case access to oil reserves, and to strengthen homeland security, reflecting concerns over drugs and immigration. Military force was used, but in bounded ways.
The biggest downside of the Venezuela operation could be the precedent it sets, affirming the right of great powers to intervene in their backyards against leaders they deem to be illegitimate or a threat. One can only imagine Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is calling for the “de-Nazification” of Ukraine and the removal of President Volodymyr Zelensky, nodding in agreement. Trump’s military operation in Venezuela makes a negotiated end to the Russia-Ukraine war even more remote than it already was.

Love him or hate him Trump taught Putin how a "special military operation" is done correctly.

I am coming to the conclusion that as the story develops it was less a special military operation and more along the lines of a hostile commercial asset appropriation that just falls shy of a mob style racketeering operation.

You have to wonder if Greenland is next. They have been accused of smuggling in snow to the US.

Wait - does that not make him an illegal immigrant?
Pisses me off that Illegal immigrants come here and get all these benefits. Look at all these free helicopter rides he’s getting.

Cuba is probably next. Maybe this will be Trump’s long term legacy… Gotta give credit to how the military handled the Iran attack and now this operation. It’s like a Tom Clancy novel.
Anyway… clearly I’m no expert but there seems to be limited time before the power vacuum can lead to years of chaos if not careful.

Interesting dynamic. If you can believe Trump, he is running the country now (proxy via the VP chick) so who would give such an order?
You know, 1% of me is enjoying this American Might… remove bad guys, invest in resources, take over Cuba, take over Greenland…. We’ve made big moves before, but it’s been a while…. We don’t have Alaska and Hawaii just because we asked.
