When Donald Trump has been asked about the reason he’s pressuring Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to step down and threatening military action against the country, he consistently blames the South American leader for two things: drugs and migrants.
As the Trump administration continues its strikes on alleged drug vessels at sea, the president has threatened that attacks against drug cartels on land in Venezuela would begin “very soon.” Experts who have modeled what would happen if Trump went ahead with even limited strikes warn Venezuela could see mass displacement and a new refugee surge like the 2017 crisis Trump blames on Maduro that led to thousands of Venezuelans moving to the US.
A Niskanen Center study released last month modeling refugee movements based on different types of US military action found that strikes could spur 1.7 million to 3 million additional people to flee Venezuela within just a few years if the attacks triggered a brief internal conflict.
The “Department of WAR” is trying to start a war. Crazy…
They are trying to get Venezuela to strike back to justify an invasion. For OIL.
America is cutting off access to immigrants. Where will they go?
The plan is, America gets the OIL, funds and has justification for ramping up military funding and gets none of the immigrants.
This is painfully obvious, the question is, who will be the fall guy?
