Yesterday's failed coup attempt in Venezuela significantly hurt the Trump administration's international standing. It delegitimized its Venezuelan clients Juan Guaidó and Leopoldo López. After recognizing that their original 'regime change' plan failed (again) the White House starts to beat the war drums as the psychopaths they can't get results through any other means but killing and violence by using our youth as their puppets.
It is quite telling how ignorant the likes of John Bolton, Elliott Abrams, and Mike Pompeo are when they cannot win positive outcomes using their brains rather than by putting our youth in harm's way by using force.
