Who will be next???

Donald Trump’s invasion of Venezuela and his kidnapping of their President is in violation of both domestic and international law, and must be condemned.  His pretext of stopping narcotics from entering America is laughable, especially since he recently pardoned the Honduran President who was convicted of trafficking over 400 tons of cocaine into the US. 

This illegal and immoral kidnapping sets a very bad precedent.  Who is now to say that Russia kidnapping Zelenskyy or China kidnapping the leader of Taiwan should be condemned? 

This is about the Venezuelan oil reserves, plain and simple.  During his last campaign Trump promised the oil companies that he would favor them if they contributed to his campaign.  They did, and he has now repaid them handsomely. 

Trump, in less than one year, has turned the world against America.  Our allies know that he can not be trusted.  They will seek other alliances.  What country will he invade next?  Greenland, Canada, Columbia…  He has threatened them all, and others.  This will not end well. 

Who is counseling our President? 

Is this merely to distract from the Epstein files?

Why will Congress not use its power to constrain him? 

There are many questions and no obvious answers.  We should all feel ashamed, embarrassed, and afraid.
