President Trump said on Wednesday evening that he expected the United States would be running Venezuela and extracting oil from its huge reserves for years, and insisted that the interim government of the country — all former loyalists to the now-imprisoned Nicolás Maduro — is “giving us everything that we feel is necessary.”
There is nothing American, conservative, or necessary about the Trump Administration’s ongoing war against Venezuela, or their idiotic intelligence operation to kidnap Venezuela’s head of state. We are supposed to believe the Feds, of The Crack Epidemic fame, when they insist that Maduro is the leader of a drug cartel. Obviously, our intel services worked some sort of drug deal with someone on the inside of the Venezuelan state for the safe delivery of Maduro. But we left the Venezuelan state intact. And it is unclear to what extent that state will allow the Trump Administration to dictate its policies.
I hate socialism just as much as the next guy, but I am an American, so I do not care about Venezuela. The Feds could control our borders, if they were truly concerned about the Venezuelans. And we have our own oil.
This is yet another stunning example of President Trump betraying the values upon which he campaigned, in order to advance the Neocon global war agenda. He is also apparently trying to link up this conflict with the ongoing plots to provoke Russia into an open state of war. We can take Venezuela’s oil to deprive it from China, but if “Russia is running out of money,” Russia may now be getting all the money they need from China.
President Trump has also, very stupidly, given us yet another conflict in which China and Russia could help bog us down.
