2025 U.S. - Venezuela conflict

Not needed. Ask John "Regime Change" Bolton. To really turbocharge regime changes, just put the neo-con (Bush era) Republicans back in the WH. (And if that happens, be prepared for the inevitable "we didn't vote for that" / "they voted for that".)

So they can board and seize a large tanker, but apparently not a small open outboard?

You might recall that they did have Congressional approval. That it was based on bad/fudged/fake intelligence and pushed by some with overly optimistic views on the outcome or bad faith is beside the point.

There will be a book then a movie then an apology tour for inflating the story.

These things will all take place before this coming June.

If you're referring to the GWoT, yes.

My point, however, is general. Have you actually read any of the editorials that crew published over the past 25 years? It's like the hammer-and-nail story, except the hammer is "military intervention" and the nail is "any kind of foreign problem". It's uncanny how the solution to all the worlds' problems is the expenditure of American lives and money.
