@jeffjarvis I wonder if constantly losing in the courts has anything to do with this war. The courts have slowed down has domestic policy, but they really can’t touch foreign policy. It makes them feel powerful to flex the military. I think he’s totally miscalculated Iran, which is nothing like Venezuela.
