Trump apparently oblivious to regime change lessons in recent U.S. past - The Briefing w/Jen Psaki - MS NOW
Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling (ret.), former Commanding General of US Army, Europe (USAREUR), talks with Jen Psaki about the lessons of regime change in Iraq and Afghanistan that the U.S. learned the hard way even with a full history of hard lessons from other ill-considered military operations, and why Donald Trump and his staff don't appear to have considered any of them in removing Venezuela's leadership and opening the country to having its oil wealth plundered. - Aired on 01/03/2026.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
