[Grave Danger]

After a couple of hours of news reports last night and long before Trump and co's presser I came to the conclusion the CIA would have been heavily involved on the ground, they would have gotten close to Maduro's guards with bribes paid, given how shitty things are in Venezuela, maybe some very close to him and it sounded all too clean. Cyber attacks would have been involved as well.

Watching Trump's presser where he went on about shooting and how amazing it all was I felt yeah that's spin, and the work was really done on the ground long before last night and the special forces probably weren't faced with much resistance.

A colleague sent me this about an hour ago. I can't work out who this youtube channel has been set up by, but this all sounds like classic CIA MO and have diversionary strikes to blow up things that had nothing to do with the main mission, but distract the defence forces to go and concentrate on the areas attacked and leave the president under protected.

The full truth isn't in this video and neither at the presser last night.

I'm not sure any court case in the US will be as clear cut as what Trump said. But some of his / USA's spin does allow Putin to go kidnap Zelensky and Xi to kidnap President Lai Ching-te of Taiwan with the similar arguments.

Watch out Trumpy, this could happen to you too...

The law doesn't matter a shit when you have the worlds most powerful military and nuclear arsenal on your side.

Imagining Donald dump on a ventilator in a dock down at the Hague does give me a chuckle though

So like, what do they actually do with Maduro now they've got him? I'm not sure they've actually thought any of this through lol. They should get ICE to deport him. That'll teach him

I assume the fox news talking heads will be calling for a public execution for stealing Americas oil

Easy to be the schoolyard bully and beat the little kids up for their lunch money. Let's see what he does with the big kids in China and Russia.

Neither one will do shit, neither one can do shit, and neither one is in any position to be morally outraged.

Look out Greenland

First it was Canada then it was Greenland now Venezuela. Donald appears determined to get that 51st State. Will Donald rebrand Venezuela as Trumpetamia ?

I note that the US oil companies have done very well out of this. Hmmm strange coincidence that.

Trump hasn't been able to get phase 2 of his peace plan working in Gaza and install a peace keeping force so the chances are he will not be able to do the same in Venezuela. The joint is full of factions and cartels and unless the US convinces the Venezuelan armed forces to lay down their arms and co operate he may well have another Haiti on his hands where the country is at the mercy of street gangs. As we saw with Saddam in Iraq and with Assad in Syria once the strong man is gone the factions with old scores to settle take over.

If it is all about drug trade, which it probably isn't, Columbia must be next.

While I'm quite sure that academics and political scientists like yourself are first in line to offer such sage advice, the rest of us can only assume that America acted on something that has been cooking since 1999 - after Hugo Chavez invited the likes of FARC to operate within Venezuela's borders. A relationship that continued under Maduro, who made a whole lot of cash on the back of this. Just as the Yanks trained head choppers in the middle east, Venezuelan politicians jumped in bed with narco groups.

Imagine if like Iran or something kidnapped Netanyahu and brought him in for trial. The US would start World War 3 over it.

I was talking about Trump trying military shit out on the bigger guys. He won't do shit either.

Trump invoked the Munroe Doctrine at his presser ie in 1820s when then President James Munroe basic told European governments to stay out the Americas. It is their hemphishere of influence.

Cuba, and a few others might have to watch their backs. Maybe Chile, Brazil, Colombia and others. US governments haven't kept their hands off Latin America since the Munroe Doctrine.
