HN sometimes has trouble understanding coalitions.
Some support for oil. Some want to unseat a dictator. Some are concerned about Venezuela being a hive of Chinese, Russian and Iranian activity. Some did it to destabilise Cuba, or lay the groundwork for hitting Iran. Still others are just plain psychopaths and like blowing things up.
People, not only patrons of HN, like simple answers.
They look at clouds and see the patterns they want to see.
It turns out things are usually more complicated than that.
Personal pique probably, sadly, also played a role.
Personal pique positively played a primary part.
It definitely did. Not Trump, though.
It's Narco Rubio. He probably started shooting ropes the very moment he knew the operation was successful.
