Light the fuse

Secretary of Perpetual War (A.K.A. State) Mike Pompeo told ABC yesterday that US imposed regime change in Venezuela is "inevitable" with or without a US invasion. He wouldn't commit to consulting with Congress should the US launch an invasion. Fresh off Trump's veto victory over the congressional resolution demanding an end to the Yemen war, Pompeo's rush to war without congressional approval has been bolstered.

Meanwhile, Juan Guaido, the US backed puppet leader designated to replace the hated Venezuelan socialist president Nicholas Maduro, confirmed he's considering asking the US to invade to install him in power.

Since every other US backed effort to oust Maduro has failed, direct US military intervention is becoming more likely. With the stock market soaring and unemployment at a 50 year low, the vast majority of the Americans couldn't care less about another criminal US war. For Trump, getting rid of the hated socialist regime in Venezuela at gunpoint is just a prelude to getting rid of the hated democratic socialist opposition at the ballot box next year. Go back to sleep America...the worst is yet to come.
