| Bone Spurs on the ground, hitting Venezuelan drug cartels and hoping for spillage onto US soil Less blowback than attacking Mexican cartels, but will it spill into regime change for Maduro.

| Hegseth fade - Phase 1: Sink the boat. Phase 2: Eliminate the threat. Phase 3: Profit (or prison) While Hegseth should also be on trial for this, Admiral Bradley could have refused that order if he believed it to be illegal.
