The strike comes as Trump has covertly authorized the CIA to conduct lethal operations in Venezuela.

    Trying to start a war so that he can announce martial law in the US and cancel elections.

          While I have no doubt they will try, suggesting that’s the goal is irresponsible and demonstrates a lack of understanding. The only purpose it serves is to sow fear and uncertainty.

          I suggest you read this NPR interview to learn a bit about how elections are run, and what trump is likely to try.

          Here is an excerpt directly relating to this thread:

          MOSLEY: So Mother Jones recently published this article by investigative journalist Ari Berman, and it raises this scenario that President Trump will use unrest as a pretext to declare martial law and even suspend the 2026 midterms. From a constitutional and legal perspective, does a president actually have the power to delay or cancel an election?

          HASEN: The President has no power to do anything related to elections, much less cancel them, reschedule them. What the president can do is do things that could disrupt the election. So here’s what I’m worried about - not necessarily declaring martial law - what if the president sends the National Guard into Black cities, right? Milwaukee.
