Hello Senator Slotkin,

I've been waiting for your take on Venezuela. When it comes to regime change, few institutions have a longer and more educational record of failure than the CIA, so your opposition is as reassuring as Jim Cramer's stock picks.

Congratulations on reciting the roll call of countries your own institutions helped ruin. Treating that history as a rhetorical shield doesn't grant you credibility, it just advertises a refusal to learn from it. Now let me explain why Venezuela does not belong in your grab bag of "long-term engagements."

Most of the countries you list were a result of a worldview that any non-democracy is a threat to the stability of the post-Cold War world order.

🔹 Iraq: My book documents how your side eagerly supported the operations, until Iraq turned into a quagmire, and then instead of taking responsibility, the global liberal order threw America under the bus and blamed a lack of "multilateralism."
🔹 Somalia: The United Nations 1993 resolution lists the goal of the Somalian intervention as "recreating a Somali State based on democratic governance and rehabilitating the country's economy and infrastructure."
🔹 Syria: Obama himself celebrated Syria's "peaceful transition to democracy" in the Arab Spring and we all know how that turned out.

Beyond that, the common thread is: you imposed pro-Western views on a non-Western world. You haven't learned from that, because you are still doing that in virtually every country in the world - except over the decades, your meaning of "Western" has morphed to something like "Communism."

The "long-term engagement" framing is a dodge. You've never been afraid of long-term engagements. See: all your chest-beating about Ukraine.

The real question is far darker: if you believe in democracy, why aren't you celebrating the removal of a dictator from the single easiest country on earth to transition back to it?

Venezuela is not Somalia. It has borders, institutions, a literate population, a unified national identity, and a recent democratic memory. Trump just demonstrated how little force was required to remove a narco-state that survived only on inertia.

You are one of these people who idolize democracy, chant "threat to democracy" like it is a holy hymn, who buy into Open Society ideals. And yet, when an actual dictator is removed, your response is anger.

Why?

Because at some point, Venezuelan people became expendable in service of a larger abstraction you call "stability" of the liberal democratic order.

Maduro's Venezuela was useful. It was predictable. It gave BRICS a foothold in the hemisphere, kept drug flows legible and quantifiable, and weakened an increasingly inconvenient United States. It made the region easier to model, easier to manage, easier to explain in policy memos. In short, Maduro made the whole world more legible to you.

A free Venezuela introduces uncertainty. It restores agency to people who were supposed to remain variables.

So now we get lectures about "international law," tantrums from NGOs, and sudden concern for norms that were never extended to the people living under a narco-dictatorship.

We understand the objection. It just isn't the one you say out loud.

This is historically illiterate.

The Ancient Greek texts were primarily preserved by Christians in Constantinople and other Christian cities in the east.

It is Christians, not Arabs, who are primarily responsible for the survival of ancient texts.

Attention: EPSTEIN AFFAIR

When it comes to “those” social elites who now say “they” regret knowing EPSTEIN or ever corresponding with a known, convicted pedophile, keep in mind “they” are ONLY saying this now because “they” got CAUGHT.

If “they” are guilty, and “they” likely are, “they” MUST be held accountable.

If “they” were used for spying against their own country or for other nefarious, criminal acts of behavior, “they” need to be held accountable.

I care less about the thickness of “their” wallets or the weight of the diamonds on “their” fingers of around “their”necks.

Our society must remain a moral society that respects life and children from the very outset. Not a “sometimes society” where morality and doing what is right gets thrown out the window simply because one has the money to burn.

As far as I’m concerned, if you mess egregiously and immorally with children, you can burn in hell.

Hello Senator Warren,

I've written you several "hellos" before, but I’m done with pretending that this is about good faith.

You know as well as I do that President Trump isn't a king. Your "No Kings" slogan is a color revolution sales pitch built on the lie that the courts are noble referees and he's some monarch above them.

It's the opposite. The unelected, activist judiciary are the ones ruling over Americans like monarchs. Trump was elected. His mandate came from voters. Your party's voted down SNAP restoration fourteen times, and when Trump ordered every legal measure to keep funding it during a shutdown, you lie and call it "eat dirt."

I'm done with your posturing.

Eat dirt, Pocahontas.
