That kind of came out because I think some of the people in the military were like, hey, we did this, which is great.

But you want to protect those capabilities in the future.

We've just telegraphed, by the way, and I hope we don't have to do stuff like this again.

And we'll talk about the fact that Trump probably wants to do this again.

here's like how we do it.

You know, like here's the game plan.

Like here's how we might go about regime change in your country, you know?

So yeah, like all those people that spent years, you know, like beating the shit out of people like us because stuff would occasionally leak out are now just screaming it from the rooftops.

They dance similarly.

It's a strong man problem.

Well, here's what I think you can tell from all of that information is, first of all, what is this really about?

Because the biggest case against Maduro is not drug trafficking.

Right.

If you were to assess the worst drug traffickers in the Western Hemisphere, Nicolas Maduro would not make the NCAA tournament bracket, you know.

And in fact, we just, you know, pardoned one from the foreign president Honduras, who is a huge drug trafficker.

The case against Maduro is human rights violations.

It's that he stole a Democratic election.

He arrests political opponents.

There's allegations, credible allegations of torture against political opponents, suppression of journalists.

Um, but this operation clearly had nothing to do about that.
