There’s probably more than one reason, but an important reason I want to outline is the war that’s predicted to happen in 2027 or 2028: China vs. USA, sparked by Chinese invasion of Taiwan.
Venezuela is allied with China, has weapons, and is within range of the Panama Canal. The canal will be very important during the war, as it will be the route that Atlantic naval ships take to get to the war zone. China would lean on Venezuela to target, damage, and possibly shut-down the canal, dramatically increasing US supply lines and down-time for ship repairs & updates. Most of our ship capacity is on the east coast.
Everything the US does now is with an eye on this possible war. It is the reason why the Biden administration didn’t get more involved in the defense of Ukraine. The US fears getting bogged down in a second war when the war against China starts. Here, with Venezuela, we took out a significant threat quickly and made the canal more secure. Yes, there’s oil, ego, distractions, and other reasons … but don’t discount the role this future conflict plays.

the code required to move the taskbar to the top or sides isn’t actually in Windows 11, because Microsoft created the new taskbar from the ground up
Funny, I run a script on my work computer that let’s me move it. I like it on the top.

Social security does need reform. There’s no reason we should cap contributions. We also need more nuance by ability and type of work one does written we device retirement ages.

Humans have always been stupid but today technology has made it easier for the dumbest among us to be more influential than any stupid person of any prior era. This, we are in the golden age of stupidity.
- Comment on Why does the GOP think “ANTIFA” is bad? 2 months ago:
I think it is because people who identify as antifa are usually more than just opposed to fascism. They also promote a set of political opinions beyond opposition to fascism. Those political opinions are unattractive to many people who dislike both fascism and antifa.

- Comment on Why do conservatives define being fascist solely as "being violent?" 3 months ago:
Instead of demonizing a class of person, perhaps you should select someone’s writing or speech and then make an argument about something someone actually said. Even better if you turn it into a conversation with two way discourse. Your question just alienates others.

- Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon 6 months ago:
If that’s your metric, then I think Israel meets it. Iran has sponsored and directed non-state actors in Israel. These include both Hamas and Hezbollah. Additionally, Houthi militants have targeted Israeli civilian shipping.
- Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon 6 months ago:
An official declaration of war is not required. These nuclear scientists are not protected by the Geneva convention because Iranian nuclear infrastructure, including persons, are military targets. The purpose is to destroy Iran’s nuclear capacity and that’s a purposeful military objective.

Honestly, that’s what they need to hear. The woman in your example was an 18 year old adult and couldn’t handle basic chores. There’s no way she’s going to thrive if she needs to whine to ransoms online every time she’s gotta do something mildly unpleasant.

Civilian nuclear scientists working in enrichment are not protected by the Geneva convention. Technically it is legal to kill them when engaged in warfare.

Just to play devils advocate, what circumstances is it legitimate for Israel to attack Iran?
