Maybe Trump is bombing all airports to keep Maduro from escaping.

We also can be damn sure that he didn't consult Congress, they're on New Years' break. He's on his own, same as on January 6th.

MS NOW went live and I'm told that CNN is as well. What is going to happen after this?! Congress was not consulted, they're still on recess. This is all on Trump!

That only makes sense, but what can they do as far as retaliation?? And so much for a peace plan for Ukraine, the felon-in-chief was planning his own invasion.
