Was watching bombs exploding in Venezuela while the helicopters flew in, basically live, with my girlfriend. And she’s like, “Holy Shit we’re invading Venezuela!” And I just told her, “…nah, whatever we’re doing isn’t that serious.”

She asked how I knew and I told her “look at the lights in the city. They’re still on. And these videos are being uploaded over the Internet. And there are explosions but relatively few. That’s not how the US does war. If we were invading we’d have hit energy infrastructure and telecommunications first, and all at once. So this is probably just us taking out anti-air batteries and maybe a few military assets. So it’s something else.”

(Please don’t interpret this as minimizing how ridiculously illegal or pointless this was, because it’s definitely both. It was just my reaction at the time.)
