Brillaint historical framing here. The Will Rogers quote about peeing on the electric fence captures something most analyses miss: that institutional memory seems to vanish at each administration turnover. I saw this pattern up close working in defense contracting, where the same strategic miscalculations get recycled with new justifications. What's really striking tho is how the Venezuela situation flips the drug war narrative against itself, especially given the Honduras pardon.
