The ulterior motive ...

GOP rep reveals secret motive for Trump’s Venezuela invasion


Republican Rep. María Elvira Salazar mentioned to Fox Business that the push for stronger action against Nicolás Maduro’s government is primarily driven by economic factors.
U.S. oil companies could benefit greatly if Caracas is overthrown.

There are several slights going on with this Venezuelan issue, the US administration is trying to scare Maduro out of office, they also are trying to cripple Cuba, as the seized boat was supposedly heading there with 2 million barrels of oil, the secretary of state Rubio has personal vendettas against both Cuba and Venezuela. However, world trade order is no longer in effect with these guys and piracy is being practiced, in the mean while the common persons will be hurt in those countries

This is one of the reasons the world needs the sleeping dragon!

Under Trump, the US only respects the countries with nuclear weapons, ask Putin!

by getting the USA to seize the Vene oil tanker, Maduro’s attention is now drawn away from TT and now drugs and gang violence will abate


KPB was playing chess all this time and unnuh neva see de moves

Over 30 sanctioned ships in Venezuela at risk after US tanker seizure

A lot of underhand business going on with Maduro and his crew....

It would be great for the people of Venezuela if Maduro can go silently without a war,then, maybe, the people can go back to a democratic country.Another important fact...9 million people fled the country because of the political doctrine left by the last leader Chaves,it was adopted by Maduro with an iron nfist causing chaos ,people fled in thousands,if he can go now people may come back.Take their tankers because they are breaking the laws of sanctions set by the USA,There should be no "Papa Doc".so close to our Caribbean islands.Ent we is ah "zone of peace",the Rader doing a great job leave it deh.
