Q: China, Russia, and Iran have interests in Venezuela. How does this operation affect your relationships with them? TRUMP: In terms of other countries that want oil, we're in the oil business. We're gonna sell it to them. We'll be selling oil.

Trump openly frames military force as a commercial acquisition tool. You can’t credibly argue limited self defense, LE action, narrow authorization, or emergency necessity while simultaneously describing infrastructure takeover, profit generation, corporate involvement, and follow-on strikes.

🧵Hope everyone realizes that Trump just got us into a long, protracted war. Controlling all the oil infrastructure in Venezuela, in the jungle, is a long-term, high-manpower operation. And will start to become costly when they get back to guerrilla war and insurgency operations.

Just got off the phone with @SecRubio
He informed me that Nicolás Madura has been arrested by U.S. personnel to stand trial on criminal charges in the United States, and that the kinetic action we saw tonight was deployed to protect and defend those executing the arrest warrant
This action likely falls within the president's inherent authority under Article Il of the Constitution to protect U.S. personnel from an actual or imminent attack
Thank you, @SecRubio, for keeping me apprised
