Starting a war as a distraction. Have we seen this done before?
I guess this is what we get when Congress gave their responsibility to the Executive Branch little by little over the past few decades. All Congress people want to do now is collect contributions. Contributions in the US would be called bribes in other "first" world countries.

Recently the US Supreme Court saw what Congress is doing and decided to join the fun.

Unless things change soon, we will end up with a dictator.

F-35s are probable the wrong tool. A-10s, send more A-10s.
I love the passive voice the American media uses when an American right wing authority figure (cops, any Republican) is creating a situation whereby they are permitted to do violence.

to the extent "tensions [are] growing", it's the US murdering random people at sea and apparently trying to start a war with Venezuela.

this isn't some unfortunate situation, it's a deliberately contrived situation because the entire US elite rolled over and are just letting a bunch of lunatics destroy the country and indulge the whims of a weird old loser.
