Dumb On Purpose: The Venezuela Escalation Nobdy Wanted and that We Voted For

In this sharp analysis of the escalating Venezuela crisis, Croaky predicted it would be a pressure campaign, not a full invasion, focusing on strategic signaling and U.S. buildup in Puerto Rico. By January 2026, his forecast proved spot on: the U.S. launched a series of strikes, captured Maduro, and seized oil assets, all while using counter-narcotics as a cover.
Croaky dives into the uncomfortable realities of regime change, questioning the justification behind these actions and highlighting potential blowback, including a migration spike and deep state momentum. But with strategic victories over adversaries like Iran and China, there’s a silver lining—at least for the U.S. But will this set a dangerous precedent?
Tune in for a deep dive into the unpredictable consequences of this “dumb on purpose” action, why we might have gotten into this mess in the first place, and the serious risks still ahead.
