In this edition, CW looks at the escalating crisis between the U.S. and Venezuela.
Marco Rubio ⬆
Forget Pete Hegseth's pushups and tire flips—it's Lil' Marco who's out-macho-ing everyone with government toppling. ¡Viva el Caudillo del Caribe! … while the secretary of war is reduced to posting boat-strike videos on X like a Helldivers streamer showing off his orbital precision strikes.
María Corina Machado ⬅➡
Won the Nobel peace prize in October. Endorsed Trump's Venezuelan buildup as "absolutely correct" and “clear and courageous” in November. The peace laureate’s moral high ground was just the vantage she needed for calling in her own orbital strikes.
Lindsey Graham ⬆
Finally found a war he can sell to the MAGA faithful by calling it "protecting America from being poisoned."
