Donald Trump has gone from fawning over Vladimir Putin and seeking his favor and support to actively emulating him in almost every possible way.
With America’s unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela and the seizure of its president, Nicolas Maduro, Trump has taken the Putinization of U.S. foreign policy to the next level.
Trump is attacking our neighbors while showing a complete disregard for international and U.S. law. He is doing so based on fabricated grounds that do not stand up to even casual scrutiny. His reasons for doing so are likely corrupt and certainly are not in the national interest of the United States. In ordering the military to be the vehicle for his aggression, he is degrading them and inviting our military’s leaders to debase themselves by agreeing to his illegal orders.
