When Donald Trump started sending warships, marines and reaper drones to the Caribbean in August to torment Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela’s president, the US’s former ambassador in Caracas, James Story, suspected the deployment was largely for show: a spectacular flexing of military muscle supposed to force the authoritarian leader from power.

But in recent days, as the world’s largest aircraft carrier and its strike group powered towards the region and the US president continued to order deadly airstrikes on alleged narco-boats, the diplomat’s thinking has shifted.


“Facts on the ground have changed tremendously,” Story said as the USS Gerald R Ford headed west amid the US’ largest military buildup in Latin America in decades.

Not at all. The problem is there's no evidence he killed them for a legitimate reason and you know it.
Why are you protecting this fascist POS?
If Obama had done that you'd want blood. You fucking hypocrite.

Those who wish to challenge Trump's military and peacekeeping actions against crooks and thugs can take their complaints to appropriate courts.

That doesn't prove he was right in his actions. The resident parrot in any pet shop is saying how what he did is illegal but you interpret it as peacekeeping.

What's your view about invading Venezuela? Is that keeping the peace? Tell me its not the oil and critical minerals.

It "looks like"?
Well that justifies the whole lot.

He is softening up Venezuela for when he invades there but I suspect his mission of stealing their oil was something he and God discussed.
He wouldn't do anything without gods permissions,would he?
