The always-deflecting and Epstein-Trump files distracting Malignant Fascist likes to project a tough, military image despite never serving and dodging the draft with a false bone spurs exemption, and speaking dismissively about fallen military as "suckers" and "losers." His extrajudicial attacks on boats in the Caribbean have raised Constitutional questions and been criticized by our allies. Yesterday, in a call to service members no less, Cadet Bone Spurs escalated his rhetoric regarding Venezuela, reports CNN:
"President Donald Trump suggested Thursday that the United States is preparing to take new action against alleged drug trafficking networks in Venezuela, telling service members during a Thanksgiving call that efforts for strikes on land will be starting “very soon.”
'In recent weeks, you’ve been working to deter Venezuelan drug traffickers, of which there are many. Of course, there aren’t too many coming in by sea anymore,' Trump told service members in the call.
'You probably noticed that people aren’t wanting to be delivering by sea, and we’ll be starting to stop them by land also,' the president continued. 'The land is easier, but that’s going to start very soon.' [snip]
Trump comments suggest he has made up his mind on a course of action in Venezuela following multiple high-level briefings and a mounting US show of force in the region earlier this month.
Trump designated Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his government allies as members of a foreign terrorist organization earlier this week." (our emphasis)
You can bet that incompetent and reckless Defense Secretary "Whiskey Pete" Hegseth has been at the forefront of providing the gasoline to pour on the MF's fire of distraction. You can also be assured that this is much less about drugs flowing into the U.S. from Venezuela than it is about their extensive oil reserves. MAGAt Representative Maria Elvira Salazar (FL-Cubano Gusano) said as much in an interview on Fox earlier this week:
"Venezuela, for those Americans who do not understand why we need to go in, for three– basically, for three reasons.
Venezuela for the American oil companies will be a field day because there will be more than a trillion dollars in economic activity. American companies can go in and fix all the oil pipe, the whole oil rigs and everything that has to do with the Venezuelan petroleum companies or everything that has to do with oil and the derivatives...."
Foreign military intervention has been a no-no in MAGAland, so any ground operation -- especially if it's more than just a quick raid -- is likely to further erode support in the MF's base.
