Trump’s claim of striking a “big facility” in Venezuela arrives without evidence, detail, or independent confirmation. It reads less like military disclosure than staged dominance, where implication replaces accountability. Strategic ambiguity is not a constraint but the point, allowing violence to be suggested without scrutiny or consequence. Venezuela becomes a rhetorical prop in a familiar performance, one where spectacle substitutes for policy and assertion stands in for proof — not facts, a dynamic that makes the world less safe and sharpens regional tensions.
