Colin Powell's "Pottery Barn Rule," popularized before the Iraq War, is the principle, "You break it, you own it," meaning if the U.S. military destabilizes a country, it has a duty to rebuild and manage the resulting chaos and governance, a stark warning Powell gave President George W. Bush about the immense responsibility of post-invasion Iraq.

Very hard to see how Trump's Venezuela clusterfck is going to work out well for Making America Great Again.

Give a megalomaniac demagogue the most powerful military in the world...and what could possibly go wrong?
