US Preps Strikes on Drug Targets Inside Venezuela
U.S. military officials are drawing up options to target drug traffickers inside Venezuela, and strikes within that country’s borders could potentially begin in a matter of weeks, four sources told NBC News.Those sources are two U.S. officials familiar with the planning and two other sources familiar with the discussions. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the plans publicly.
Striking inside Venezuela would be another escalation in the Trump administration’s military campaign against alleged drug targets and its stance toward Venezuela’s government.
Strikes inside Venezuela could happen in the next several weeks, but the president has not approved anything yet, the four people said. Two of them and an additional official familiar with the discussions said that the United States’ recent military escalation is in part a result of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro not doing enough, in the administration’s view, to stop the flow of illegal drugs out of his country.

I thought it was great yesterday that they revoked the Visa of the Colombian president Petro because he was at a Palestinian protest in New York City telling us soldiers not to listen to Trump he's such a slave for Satan do you know that he was part of farc and was a real Narco Lord and he has killed people and he's the president of Colombia a big Narco! How sad for the people of Colombia to have such a corrupt evil leader like this in their country running this country now so sad I'm glad the United States revoked his visa and I think they have already done the same to maduro in Venezuela. They need to do the same to the president from Brazil too and all of the judges that are politically persecuting bolsonaro too.
