    Trump is friends with the Saudis. The Saudi’s oil brings in billions of dollars a day. Trump covets that treasure, and wants the same thing for himself.

    Venezuela sits on the largest oil reserve on the planet. Whoever controls Venezuela, controls the oil, and Trump has already announced this morning, even before his official announcement that the operation even happened, that they will be taking control of the oil.

    Follow the money: This is all about stealing Venezuela’s oil for Trump’s personal financial benefit. Our military has become the muscle for the Trump Crime Family.

    Bottom Line: This certainly isn’t about drugs. He just PARDONED the ex-prez of Honduras, who had been convicted of Narcoterrorism in an America court, and was serving decades in an American prison, for doing the exact same thing that he is claiming for Maduro. So save me the breathless rationalization about flooding our cities with drugs.

    Again, Follow the money: Trump will pardon Maduro once he pays the proper bribe, and he is in full control of the Oil.

      It’s chemically the same as Canadian oil. I do worry this dovetails with his earlier expansion plans and ability to economically coerce.
