bfinucane.bsky.social @bfinucane.bsky.social · 04/01/2026 Even if he wins this fight the Federal government doesn’t have the resources to run a conquered foreign country. The Iraq fiasco demonstrates this. America has the military to swallow other countries, but lacks any institutional concept of nation building or colonization or whatever. 000
bfinucane.bsky.social @bfinucane.bsky.social · 04/01/2026The American reaction to Trump's kidnapping reminds me of the confusion about the always popular "bombing country X".

bfinucane.bsky.social @bfinucane.bsky.social · 04/01/2026It’s important to keep in mind that Trump hasn’t actually accomplished anything. The United States does not control Venezuela in any way.

bfinucane.bsky.social @bfinucane.bsky.social · 04/01/2026In a monarchy, kidnapping the head of state is a big deal. A good example is the vast ransom paid for Richard Lionheart. But modern society has moved on from the Middle Ages. Anyone who thinks this kidnapping means the United States now owns Venezuela is 500 years behind the times. 010
