35. Reagan knocked over Grenada to gin up his base.

Mar 17

I remember hearing pundits say that the US needed a little war every so often.
Trump stirred up his base, and the media, kidnapping Maduro. Iran isn't going so well. I guess Trump wants another quick success as an adrenaline rush for him and his base.
Shouldn't be too difficult. Leave Cuba with almost no power and shrinking food supplies and then US marines can quickly pacify the place so that US businessmen can put a McDonald's on every corner.
