Did POTUS include the government of T&T in this scheme, such that THEY were aware of the ultimate mission from the beginning? Was their request for US assistance a knowing part of the smokescreen?

Or were they kept in the dark?

The government of T&T knew. You know how I know that? Because I knew. And if I knew, then practically everyone with sense knew that the purpose of the massive American buildup was regime change.

And if I didn’t take that very strong hint? Then I would have known by the reports in the media that Maduro was begging for an off ramp to avoid being deposed and captured.

The only question was if it would be surgical strikes to capture Maduro and his key henchmen, or a massive attack. And from reports there was not enough resources deployed for massive ground attacks.

Kudos to the Trump administration.

US assets were not moved to the coast of Venezuela to splash cocaine-running speedboats, and Trump never actually believed that those boats were running "fentanyl." That was all a smokescreen for positioning the military assets necessary for the raid that captured Maduro. The legality of splashing those boats may still be questionable, but it was a DAMNED clever maneuver.

Kudos to whoever came up with the idea and kudos to Trump for approving it. Even more impressive is the fact that Trump HAD to have been told that he would be attacked regarding the legality of splashing those boats, and he chose to absorb those attacks to provide cover for the real mission. He is so thin-skinned, I would not have thought he would have agreed to anything like that, but he did. Double kudos to him for that.


If you really thought this was about drugs then you’re naive.

It's about time OP recognized Trump for the stable genius that he is.

What are they running then? Flour? Sugar? Salt ?. They are DRUG RUNNING boats made for speed and out running law enforcement. They were most certainly running dope, and he will still blow any out the water he can , and I’m damn sure glad he’s doing it .

This was geo-political in a global sense.

China
Russia
Canada
and India

will ALL be negatively impacted.

It was a brilliant move imho.

Gutsy, calculated, and well executed.

Yes, drugs were a smokescreen.
It's really quite simple. Venezuela has oil and oil companies want it.

Only a retard would think otherwise.

You think oil companies won't sell to them? Lol
They don't care about geo politics.

They only care about profit.

Well we thought we fighting a drug war. But I knew obliterating 30, 40, 50 or 500 speed boats was not going to win the drug war. I thought something else was in the works. People on this forum thought we were just fighting a drug war. But I knew better. So here we are, the victors of Venezuela. With an increased focus on Columbia. Don't forget about Columbia. You heard it here.
