Do you mean Maduro threatening to invade Guyana? I think that's just saber rattling neither the US nor his southern cone neighbors, even the socialists, would allow it.

[Refreeze5224]

He means the opposite, Trump threatening Venezuela because he needs a distraction from his presence in the Epstein files.

Well, there were military strikes in to the balkans shortly after the Lewinsky affair became a topic of discussion. Is that enough precedent?

[dzhiurgis]

Do you legit believe he'd release them if there's anything even remotely controversial?

[Refreeze5224]

He hasn't released them yet though, has he? And I don't think it's likely they ever will be. Also it's already been mentioned that 1000 FBI agents are scrubbing them of anything incriminating, so even if they are, they'll likely be almost uselessly redacted.

So then it isn't much of a distraction

> then it isn't much of a distraction

People were talking about it. Now we’re talking about Venezuela, too. That’s how distractions work.

[dzhiurgis]

People talking is not going to achieve anything. It's like spreading awareness about climate change...
