U.S. poised to strike military targets in Venezuela in escalation against Maduro regime

The planned attacks, first reported Thursday night by the Wall Street Journal, will seek to destroy military installations used by the drug-trafficking organization the U.S. says is headed by Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro and run by top members of his regime.

Sources told the Herald that the targets - which could be struck by air in a matter of days or even hours - also aim to decapitate the cartel's hierarchy. U.S. officials believe the cartel exports around 500 tons of cocaine yearly, split between Europe and the United States.

While sources declined to say whether Maduro himself is a target, one of them said his time is running out.

"Maduro is about to find himself trapped and might soon discover that he cannot flee the country even if he decided to," the source said. "What's worse for him, there is now more than one general willing to capture and hand him over, fully aware that one thing is to talk about death, and another to see it coming."

Darn, this may have a negative impact on President Trump winning the Nobel Peace Prize next year.

It's thought that it has to do with Maduro preparing to invade neighboring Guyana, which recently discovered a huge oil and gas field and signed multi billion dollar deals with American energy companies which is practically the same thing as a defense treaty.

BTW....Whoever this chick is in the tank top running from Maduro's thugs, I claim her as a war trophy.

Venezuela has been looking at the mineral rich parts of Guyana for decades now. It has been known that area could be rich in oil and other resources, but only recently has the idea of exploiting those reserves been talked about.

This has shades of Iraq and Kuwait, except at this point Venezuela isn't as strong as Iraq was at the time.

In any future conflict with China you don't want a potential ally of the chi-coms on your back porch.

I didn't know we shifted from blowing up drug boats to stopping Venezuelan aggression. You guys need to get your story straight. When did Guyana appeal for US military aid?

It's a recent thing.

The US has always been involved in the relations between Central and South American countries. And back in March agreements were met regarding this. Not a treaty, but an understanding as well as a US position on any territorial aggression by any party.

“Crime is attracted by prosperity, and targets prosperity,” Rubio said, pointing to the challenges being faced because of organised gangs and narco-traffickers that destabilise societies.

Zeroing in on matters related to the ongoing border controversy with Guyana and Venezuela, Rubio said: “There will be consequences for aggressive actions, and that’s why our partnership in that regard will be important. That is not what we want to be a feature of our relationship, but it is a necessity of our relationship, because you have a very difficult challenge on your hands with a dictator that’s making illegitimate territorial claims; you have our full commitment and support.” The agreement, he said, demonstrates the ‘tangible’ and ‘sustainable’ partnership between the two nations. “We are invested, both as a nation and from our people in being your partner in transformation and in prosperity,” Rubio said.

PLease cite something about it in the last week. You have gone from shooting drug boats to fighting a war for...who?

 

[whitehall]

MSN propaganda again?

 

[Invisibleflash]

Bub...USA is looking to invade Venezuela, Colombia and Cuba. America's goal is world domination of all energy resources. Once achieved America will control the world! Take down Venezuela, Iran, destroy Russia and then they can control China by starving them of crude oil.

Afghanistan has to be revisited by Trump to get the airport back to create staging grounds for the attack on Iran. Once Iran falls, America can stage from there to take down Russia and break it up. China will be the last proverbial domino to fall.

They are just liars using any excuse to try and justify attacking Venezuela, many Americans are stupid going along with this just like the WMD scam in Iraq, when will people wake up? Scott Ritter who led a team of UN investigators in Iraq has claimed a US Government official offered him $6 million to come up with the right result, he refused and they have been after him ever since.
