Like for this guy, David, his entire life took a sharp, unexpected, and very unpleasant turn.
And it did take me a while to realize that it's basically because the monkey pressed the button.

Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston.
President Trump says the U.S.
military has targeted a dock in Venezuela where he claims drugs were being loaded onto boats.
NPR's Deepa Shiveron reports the strike marks an escalation in the administration's pressure campaign against the Venezuelan government.
President Trump was about to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he confirmed to reporters that the U.S.
had, quote, hit a Venezuelan dock.
There was a major explosion in the dock area where they load the boats up with drugs.
They load the boats up with trucks, so we get all the boats."
Trump did not provide further detail,
but such a strike likely indicates an escalation in aggression toward Venezuela.
In recent weeks,
Trump announced a blockade on sanctioned oil tankers coming in and out of Venezuela, and the U.S.
has struck multiple boats off the coast of the South American country,
alleging that they're carrying drugs.
