Real reason we are bombing Venezuelan ships

I have thoughts on this because we always know whatever reason we’re being told is usually either not real or only part of it. Thoughts?

Trump actively sought to invade Venezuela early in his first term and his cabinet restrained him. The reason then was not drug trafficking, it was because Trump wanted a quick winnable war like Panama & Grenada.

Their fried plantains (“maduros”) are tasty? (Works for me.)

Honestly, he probably just doesn't like the president of Venezuela.

A regime change so he can make deals to get Venezuela's natural resources and benefit himself or his buddies in some way.

Is it true that a lot of Donnie’s friends have purchased bonds in Argentina and that may be the reason we’re all of a sudden pumping billions into their country? And if we are trying to get them “back on their feet” does the destroying of these boats clear up avenues for them to fill a void?

The vocabulary used about drug cartels is "narco-terrorist" and they're in line for getting the same treatment Islamic State got.

In contemplating Venezuela, he's also probably looking at how easy a time he had quickly and cleanly dealing with Iran.

Venezuela is run by a Marxist incahoots withs the narcotics traffickers in his country. Trump really doesn't respect Maduro or give a fock if he offends him or destabilizes his regime. He wants to stop the drugs from coming in from there and Maduro can take his opinions on the matter and shove them up his ass.

Right now its just drug tracking ships. If he hits cartel land bases inside Venezuela, the ball goes to Maduro to determine whether or not to use his military to interfere. If they do, air defenses would need to be wiped to allow the cartel bombings to continue.

He'd as soon bomb the Mexican cartels as well but that's off the table or at least deep on the backburner since he does like and respect the Mexican president's opinions on the matter enough to refrain from doing so. He also needs cooperation from Mexico on border issues. This contrasts to what he wants to do in Venezuela where, to repeat what I said earlier, Maduro being a Marxist drug dealer has zero respect by the administration and can shove his sentiments up his ass.

This seems far fetched IMO.

This seems accurate.
