Some casual reading on Operation dumbass

Trump Just Inspired the Dumbest Damned Coup Plot in LatAm History, Complete with a QAnon Crazy

beloved patriot adventurers have been trying to pull off South American coups for about 200 years—and failing miserably. But the survivors of this op are in their own class of stupid.

armed men chase the bounty you put out, but you don't have anything to do with that:

I'm guessing this is going to end up being made into a movie.
Question is what sort of comedy should it be.

here's a pretty long write-up about the coup, haven't read it all but it is a fascinating read so far

"It’s so mind-bogglingly dumb," a former Navy SEAL told Vox about the plan.

Indeed. Bolton doesn't deserve the attention or $. Besides, he is the epitome of untrustworthy.

According to Trump, what it takes is “someone like Putin”, so I guess Beto has that going for him.

No, his former boss is the epitome of untrustworthy.

No, his former boss is the epitome of untrustworthy.

They both are.

Yup. Remember, it's bad Economic Policy, not Sanctions that are crippling Venezuela...

there's a large conservative wing of FYGM Dems that control foreign policy, and have for ages, there's not that much difference between the 2 parties in regards to this....

That Godreau fella, does he seem a tad delusions-of-grandeurish to you people? I seem to recall he was injured in the head on some mission or other and that's the reason he left the U.S. military. After that it seems he started with the wacky ideas, like maybe he suffered frontal lobe damage to the brain and can't quite tell what expectations are realistic or not anymore...

Attacking an entire country with what was it, 200 guys? And no heavy weapons, air support or anything? And pre-announcing it on fecking twitter of all places... lol

Something's gotta be wrong in that guy's head.

There was a joke a few weeks ago that they should send him to Peru so that he could be their new president
