Donald Trump is “reaping the bitter fruit” of erroneously thinking that the capture of Venezuela’s president, Nicolás Maduro, offered a blueprint for toppling the Iranian regime, according to one of the US state department’s most respected former Latin America experts.
John Feeley, a Marine helicopter pilot who later served as the US ambassador to Panama, believed Trump had been “flush with the victory from Venezuela” when he made the ill-fated decision to attack Iran in February, leaving a trail of destruction across the Middle East and dealing a hammer blow to the global economy.
No. WE are reaping the bitter fruit. Trump is a demented fuckwit with many layers of privilege protecting him from any ill effects.
If only everyone had warned him again and again that this would happen.
I think that bitter fruit needs to be shoved up his ass. Yeah, yeah, I know. Completely disproportionate. However, he is putting all of us at risk for his ego
I don’t follow news in Venezuela real closely… But did much actually change there for your average day to day person?
No but that wasn’t the goal so why would that matter to Trump?
For sure, I’m just talking about the alleged correlation between the two events, as that is what the article is discussing.
It paints the Venezuela action as resulting in regime change, although I feel like it did not.
Who among us could’ve guessed that Mr. Casino fail would get got by a hot hand fallacy…
He lost because he’s an idiot.
Well, the people who were murdered and their families lost. Donald only fails upward.
