Some peddlers of the conventional wisdom have been saying Trump's foray into Venezuela means trouble for Putin.
Heather Cox Richardson says otherwise, kinda.
This may be a good time to reiterate: Nobody knows - everybody guesses. And from what we've been seeing with this new cluster fuck in Venezuela, not even the people who know what's going on, know what's going on.
When we start to see some of the medium and longer term results, then we'll know more, but as always, it's very likely we'll never know the whole story.
So anyway, I've always found that Richardson sees things pretty clearly. Thank god for the history nerds.
A few facts:
- It costs about 7 million dollars every day to deploy a carrier group and 15,000 troops
- In the last 40 years, over $50 Trillion have moved from the bottom 90% of Americans up to the top 1%
- Republicans are again totally unconcerned with the skyrocketing deficit and debt
- Take away education and healthcare, and you can move all the way over from serving to ruling
