According to Gateway Pundit, an Atlas Intel and Bloomberg poll shows that 53% of everyone in “Latin America” supports a military regime change intervention in Venezuela. They write, “In the last few days, the White House has consistently denied reports that the decision to strike Venezuelan targets connected to drug trafficking has been made,” but point out that USS Iwo Jima and USS Gravely are within striking distance of that country. This is after the United States, by its own admission, has lawlessly murdered 63 individuals who are alleged to have been seeking to transport illicit drugs to the United States.
In an interview with Danny Davis recorded on Nov. 1, former CIA analyst Larry Johnson pointed out that the first “60-foot cigarette boat” that was blown up, presuming the video footage was not AI, had only 4 outboard motors propelling it. He said the amount of fuel those motors would consume in the long trip to Florida could not possibly be carried in such a vessel. “There’s no gas stations out there” in the ocean, he commented wryly.
In an Oct. 29 interview with Tucker Carlson, Col. (ret.) Douglas Macgregor reported that he had recently been in Washington, D.C., speaking with individuals who are, “just below the decision-making level,” who explained that the purpose of targeting Venezuela has nothing to do with drugs or oil, but “flipping the chessboard on Russia and China.” According to Macgregor, they said: “Don’t you understand? By going into Venezuela, we’re saying a very strong message because Russia and China have tried to build up and cultivate support there, and we’re telling them that they can’t do it. We’re flipping the chessboard.”
Macgregor had pointed out earlier in the interview that Trump wasn’t getting a clear “win” in the Middle East, or Ukraine-Russia, and he wants a “win,” in order to appear strong, which he mistakenly believes he will get by bombing Venezuela and Colombia. Macgregor was well aware that Maduro had already made a generous proffer to the Trump Administration for development of Venezuela’s petroleum reserves, which he, were he in the Trump Administration, would urge the President to accept. Macgregor also said that Maduro is not soft on narcoterrorists, and that deposing him would actually increase narcoterrorism, not to mention the quagmire awaiting the United States military, if we are foolish enough to send troops into Venezuela.
