We all know that the US sank a boat with 11 people on it and there has been a debate ever since on why this action was taken.
Now word has come out that Donny and his gang of idiots are considering a direct assault on Venezuelan soil.
US President Donald Trump’s administration is considering launching military strikes on Venezuela, according to new reporting from independent journalist Ken Klippenstein.
Military sources on Tuesday told Klippenstein that the Trump administration is mulling an attack against Venezuela unless it cracks down on drug cartels that it claims are shipping fentanyl into the United States.
Contrary to the administration’s claims, according to the US Drug Enforcement Administration and other agencies, Venezuela plays virtually no role in fentanyl manufacturing and trafficking.
Klippenstein’s sources said the attack was likely to involve “shooting down Venezuelan military aircraft or by bombing Venezuelan military airfield,” and that the US Air Force has been rehearsing for such a mission in recent weeks.
…
A leaked Department of Homeland Security memo obtained by Klippenstein gives clues as to why the administration is taking an aggressive military posture toward Venezuela.
Specifically, writes Klippenstein, the memo gives insight into the administration’s view that Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro is actually in charge of the Tren de Aragua cartel and is giving it orders to poison American citizens by getting them addicted to drugs.
However, Klippenstein cautions that this view of Maduro as the commander of an international drug cartel is not backed up by US intelligence agencies.
“A declassified assessment prepared by the National Intelligence Council concluded in April that the Maduro regime ‘probably does not have a policy of cooperating with TdA and is not directing TdA operations in the United States,'” he noted.
Klippenstein closed his report by likening the situation to the buildup to the 2003 Iraq War, but with fentanyl taking the place of “weapons of mass destruction” as the purported casus belli.

This is just irresponsible BS….hopefully somewhere in that swirling mass of entropy we call government there will be a calmer head that can diffuse the stupidity.
Not likely but I can hope.
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
not likely at all…
You seriously think it is not likely? chuq
I think a cartel drug operation that’s killing Americans whether from manufacture, exporting and distributing via its syndicated network in US cities is very acceptable casus belli for a US anniliation of a criminal base no matter in what country an operation emanates. Seems some people think it’s OK for Americans to be murdered without doing anything about it. They are also recruiting troubled teens and young criminals to sell these drugs on the street corners of our cities on a typical Friday or Saturday night. This contamination of our young men may be more evil than the drugs themselves.
So we should have a free hand wherever we want?…..chuq
I see I may have sounded that way and admit the error. We should not have a free hand wherever we want or that our leaders may make or those of the policies. When we have lost loved ones to the curse of drug addiction many tend to be swift and merciless re the perpetrators. I do not want to become like the people celebrating the murder of Charlis Kirk. I stand corrected or at least reminded.
No problem….today it is the cartel in Venezuela…..what happening to El Salvador’s M13 gang? That is all we heard during the immigration mash-up. chuq
Many thanx chuq
