      It depends. Venezuela was down right evil, but actually a well thought out plan. Kidnapping Maduro ended up turning the government into basically a US puppet, without needing a full scale ground invasion. So there are very clearly smart capable planners in high positions in the US.

      The Iran war seems like a full Israeli plan, which was bullied through last minute. They seem to have ignored or forgotten, that Iran can close the Strait of Hormuz. They are currently moving four anti seamine ships from the Strait to the US for scrapping for example and did not warn anybody that this is a big one, so they can for example fill up their strategic oil reserves. The only reason this is not a worse disaster is that the US military is very capable.
