I usually stop thinking so the voices argue with each other instead of me

for example they’ll show you something like a video of Latino Americans celebrating with overlay text claim it’s Venezuelans supporting Trump (I’ll assume you don’t know Spanish or there’s no original audio) and it’s a real video but the original video was celebrating a sports game like 10 years ago.

I wouldn’t bother learning, whatever you learn today could be out of date in a year and could overall be impossible in less than 5 years. historically people would believe whatever title you slap on a youtube video regardless of if the video even tried to demonstrate the claim or not. I’d focus on authoritative and reliable sources and just be an open minded but also vigilant skeptic of claims you have no practical way to validate.

I think the more pertinent question would be: is the US willing to commit enough ground forces for such a thing? Imagine the political fallout of adding a 3rd mass casualty war to this list:

• Vietnam (58k dead, 300k wounded)
• Iraq (4.5k dead, 32k wounded)

for comparison, Iran is probably less than 20 dead, less than 500 wounded, and the US hasn’t committed ground troops, and is already an embarrassing failure.

Venezuela had an embarrassing moment but a high profile black ops kidnapping isn’t occupation.
