Latin America

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Am I missing something here?

We are striking open hull boats with outboard motors 1,500 miles away from south Florida that are not open ocean capable nor within range of any US territory that may or may not not have contraband.

Why is this not talked about?

That and overthrowing the Venezuelan government to install puppets.

IF these boats are even carrying drugs, could their entire cargo be bought for the price of the missile used to destroy it?

Not to mention the cost of flying the obviously necessary F117 Stealth fighters needed to launch them.

Zero evidence presented so far. Where is the survivor?

Sadly, it's not just DonOLD. This has been building for more than a quarter century, ever since Venezuela dared to experiment with democratic socialism. I hate being correct.

Firings are solitary and quiet, done by an HR flunky in a windowless office with 2 husky security guards present, not with hundreds of the angry, powerful fired all in one place. Too much danger in that.

Martial Law? War on Mexico, Venezuela and Central America?

WTF is he doing?

That Epstein shit must be incredible.

I THINK it's three amphibious assault ships, two destroyers, a cruiser and a littoral combat ship in the Caribbean, and one destroyer in the eastern Pacific. There are also submarine/s and other ships involved.

Dementia Don has talked about regime change in Venezuela for years, and an op this complex takes months to organize. That said, the final go-ahead may be influenced by the desire for Epstein distraction.

Yep, you don't send a naval task force to interdict a few go-fasts, a job that the USGS has been doing with distinction for years. Rather, the goal is to goad Maduro into doing something rash and then, with or without a manufactured excuse, invade Venezuela proper and/or seize offshore islands and oil fields. Watch, it's a Yanqui script that has played out in Latin America and elsewhere for 200 years.
Maduro Says US Pointing '1,200 Missiles' at Venezuela After Trump Sends More Warships
One anonymous American military official told Axios that the US seemed to be revving up for "Noriega part two," suggesting a regime change war may be on the horizon.

No mention of drugs, Marco? Funny that.


Only SoupySales and the rest of MAGA are gullible enough to think this is about drugs. Others aren't so stupid:

Elliott Abrams was once an innocent child. And then he decided to spend the rest of his life covering up brutal atrocities and defending right-wing dictatorships.

The illegitimate coup-installed regime in Honduras;
The "drug war" in Mexico;
The continuation of the SOA “School of Assassins” in Georgia.

Wingnuts on the edge of wetness. John Bolton is making wingnut noise toward Venezuela due to the current unrest there. He wants more war and doesn't give a shit if it's economic war or some other kind....as long as corporate elites are able to control the oil there....he knows he and his buddies blew the oil deal during the Iraq fiasco and he's got a big hard on for this next chance. Too bad Israel has no real stake in all this; if they did Bolton would shut the fuck up.
