Steve,

All your contentions in your post about this are plausible. I'm not sure I totally agree with your conclusions, but they are definitely plausible interpretations of what is going on.

I do want you to keep in mind, however, that the Left (i.e. you and your comrades) do not believe in national borders.

Now I know you personally diverge from the absolute lunatics who are running the Dem party nowadays, but most of your comrades do NOT believe borders are necessary or that they mean anything nor should they be enforced.

Under the principles of "no borders" espoused by most on your side, I can't see why you would think Trump is doing anything out of line.

"No borders" means he can do whatever he wants with respect to Venezuela.

And he's doing it.

The problem is that the core of the Left is basically emotional infantile people with psychological problems, expressed as political angst, and they are being manipulated and taken advantage of Dem leaders for power and money.

They have no ability to realisticially anticipate possible negative outcomes of the positions they claim to espouse because they are not based in reality.

A perfect example of the disconnection from reality is when Becca, after Ross had shot Renee, started screaming "Oh my God he had REAL BULLETS???"
