 House greenlights Venezuelan invasion and continued mass murder in the Caribbean

 

It was ignored by mainstream media, but the House Wednesday gave the A-OK for Trump to invade Venezuela. They killed a bill to block Trump from launching his crazed war to rid Venezuela of its socialist president so Trump can steal its oil and other US coveted resources

 

The vote was close, 213-211, to quash the War Powers Resolution forbidding Trump’s war without Congressional approval as required by the Constitution. The partisan vote had just 4 defectors among the 424 voting. Democrats voted for peace 208 to 1. Republicans voted to allow Trump’s  unconstitutional, illegal, criminal war 212 to 3.

 

The Democratic vote was largely partisan, not peace. If Trump is for it, Dems are against it. Since Biden provoked the US proxy war on Russia destroying Ukraine and enabled the Israeli genocide in Gaza, there has been barely a peep from Democrats opposing either.

The Venezuelan invasion vote followed last week’s War Powers Vote to allow Trump to continue committing mass murder in the Caribbean obliterating small unarmed boats as a prelude for the upcoming invasion. The vote mirrored the Venezuelan invasion vote with all but 2 Republicans ghoulishly supporting small boat bombings while all but 3 Democrats voting to end them.

 

Congress abdicated its Congressional and constitutional duty to decide when to attack beginning 75 years ago in 1950 when they let Truman go to war in Korea. Truman put a fig leaf on the war, calling it a 'police action.' A couple of million dead Koreans and 36,000 dead Americans in that police action have done noting to make Congress take back its war making powers. The 1973 War Powers Act was designed to reign in war crazed presidents from waging illegal wars. Alas, in 52 years it never has…and likely never will.
