Greg Palast says Trump wants war with Venezuela for the same reasons that fully aroused Dick Cheney over Iraq.

I met with Venezuela’s President Hugo Chávez just days after he was kidnapped. I’ll tell you about that, and the current President Nicolás Maduro’s visit to my New York office. But first you must know three things about Venezuela, to understand why Donald Trump has ordered a covert operation to overthrow their government.

1.Venezuela has the largest reserves of oil on the planet.
2.Venezuela has the largest reserves of oil on the planet.
3.Venezuela has the largest reserves of oil on the planet.


(By the way, Donald, when you announce a “covert” operation, it’s no longer covert. But never mind.)

he wagged the dog big time and invaded Grenada 2-3 days later.

Cankles might go to war to quiet or bury the Epstein file news in "U.S. Troops Invade Venezuela" headlines in the Bezos rag and 24/7 Fox battlefront news!!1!!

Nobody is mentioning a pathological liar has the nuclear codes, while Putin is positioning his submarines around the Arctic rattling the nuclear saber. We're in peril by a psychotic.
