I really hope China has given Venezuela some of its long range anti-ship missiles to test. Sinking a US carrier would really end a lot of nonsense and gunboat diplomacy.
While I would love to see Trump embarrassed, sinking something like a carrier would cause all sorts of international issues. Trump would bomb Venezuela into the stone age, and he might do something stupid with China for supplying the weapons....It would make a bad situation significantly worse....
But...it would also be a hell of a distraction from the Epstein files...
Which reminds me... did anyone see that movie Wag the Dog from like 1997? It is eerily similar in several ways to today's events. It starts with the US President getting caught trying to fuck an underage girl just weeks before the election....so his chief of staff hires a Hollywood producer to help develop a crisis/war to distract the general population. It stars Dustin Hoffman, Robert DeNiro and Anne Heche.
