Kidnapping Trump

THE NUMBER of indisputable reasons why Trump's kidnapping of Madura, his attack of Venezuela, is and shall forver be regarded by historians as idiotic is greater than the number of elementary particles of matter in the known universe, and the accounting has but barely begun. They are at once philosophical, moral, and pragmatic. For one, regime change, as a rule, doesn't work. Almost invariably the negative, undesirable results and consequences thereof outweigh the benefits by a considerable margin. You don't just invade another country, kidnap its head of state and hold him or her captive, without expeiencing some bad karma, unintended consequences, and repurcussions, We know that Trump has, without doubt, brought about deteriorating relationships with most if not all of the some two hundred nations on Earth, that he has helped end wars and bring about peace nowhere, despite his flagrant lies to the contrary, and we know that everything Trump does regarding Venezuela will do only in his perceived personal best interests. Such, as they way, is the nature of the beast. American fuel companies are already, it is reported,being invited by the Trump administration to come swooping in, assume control fo Venezuela's oil producing infrastructure, which we are told is in very bad repair, refurbish it at a cost of billions, and proceed to enhance their already record shattering profits. As always, the American corporate oligarchy triumphs over all. Unless, of coures, Trump signs, say, an executive order mandating that all proceeds from the regifted oil fields of Venezuela, which produce seventeen percent of the world's oil, be distributed among the world's poorest people and countries. Fat chance of that. Give credit where due. Rather neat, extracting the head of state, leaving all else intact, including the Venezuelan government, and just have everyone move up a notch, the lady Vice President now assuming the presiency. The likelihood that she will merely continue to pursue Maduro's policies notwithstanding, Trump's United States shall doubtless remain stationed nearby or in country in large enough numbers to ensure compliance with the almighty Yankee Norde Americanos As always, we the American people si tidly by, twiddling our thumbs, gaing at our collective navels, passively accepting our beloved United States of Aggression in its role as "owner of the western hemisphere" as Trump says it, applauding our coporate masters and their bursting billfolds. This thing ob kidnapping another country's head of state, incarcerating him or her, trying, convicting, and sentencing, then licking up for life has merit, and a substantial part of the American public, as much as sixty percent thereof, are asking: "Why can't somebody come over here and do that for us?" Why do we always miss out on all the fun? You can imagine it now.In a meticulously orchestrated conspiracy, larger even than that which managed to steal the twenty twenty election right out from under Trump's nose, helicopters swoop into the nation's capitol under the radar, land on the newly paved rose garden, a nice place to land a chopper,and in a lightening quick operation, escort Trump from the White House. or maybe better to pull off this daring hypothetical raid at Mara Lago, where Trump is much more likely to be distracted by young ladies, or whatever,and unguarded. A "Go Fund Me' account to pay any willing foreign power to render the American majority this invaluable service could never grow too big, like a lottery. Sound crazy? If nothing else, its certainly worth fantasizing about.
