I agree that Trump thinks attention means he's doing a good job, as everything is about ratings in his mind. Which is insanity by itself.
My main worry is he preached isolationism on the campaign trail, since then he fucked around in Syria, dropped down to the level of Kim Yung in childish threats and now bullies Venezuela with military intervention. Venezuela didnt even threathen the US in any way, to them this is an internal powerstruggle.
I think Trump is going powermad.
we'll see how much all the vets and active servicemen like trump when he sends them to die en masse in some godforsaken jungle with an army that knows how to fight in jungles. i don't actually think he will take direct action but we are living in a world where trump is president (and reagan was, for that matter) so i just have no idea whats next geopolitically.
I would imagine the armed forces are getting jittery about the president treathening with military intervention like it is nothing. It's their lives he's casually threathening with.
Btw invading or even bombing Venezuela will be a nightmare, they have the biggest stock of AA and SAM in South-America. And i'm not talking halfbaked self produced stuff, no its all tried and true Russian made top notch stuff! I also think Putin will act up if this would come around.
the worst part of this is that trumps been getting calls from world leaders nonstop it seems like as a result of this and venezuela so he probably thinks he is popular and therefor doing the right thing. i'm all for a hard line on NK and a coup in venezuela but not so much for direct military action.
