This is the same exact playbook Bush used to invade Iraq. Pretend the target country is a security threat and then invade them and take their oil.
What a hogwash.. my heart goes out to the Venezuelan people.
Operation Venezuelan Freedom? More like Operation Oil Grab.
Leave Venezuela alone, we can clear see through the b.s and noble prize nonsense. Leave them and their natural resources alone.
If Trump attacks Venezuela, I can only hope the Generals are smart enough to refuse orders.
