"While it might seem too early to say how Americans view the intervention, it appears to have monumentally backfired. A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted January 4–5 found that just 33% of Americans approve of the intervention. That figure is only slightly higher than approval of the Vietnam War in 1973, as U.S. troops were withdrawing from the country."

"Heading into the fifth anniversary of January 6, there was pressure mounting on Donald Trump, including from Jack Smith’s recent testimony on Capitol Hill and DOJ’s failure to release the full Epstein files. Given that context, we’re forced to consider whether Trump’s attack on Venezuela is, at least in part, intended as a distraction."
