    In Iraq we had no goal. Can’t complete an objective when there is no objective. Same with Afghanistan.

    Vietnam we lost the objective because literally everyone knew the objective wasn’t obtainable, yet we stayed there.

    In Venezuella there’s a clear objective. Steal all the oil. Of all the stupid wars we’ve been involved with, this one is at least honest. We’re here for your oil, and we’ll kill you with the biggest military if you step in our way.

    I don’t agree with the objectives. I don’t agree with the war. But I will say this seems pretty easy for us. Fucking over countries long term future, sowing political chaos, and stealing oil are like our cornerstones.
