'A new day is coming to Latin America': Donald Trump warns Venezuelan military leaders

The Fat Cats of Monolopy Capitalism are turning the screws again.

Do Americans or anyone else with a brain actually want traitor donald j trump and the current crop of pubican traitors to shape the Western Hemisphere? They've done such a great job in the Middle East and with Korea, NATO, etc. - why not allow them to bring more American expertise to Latin America again?

That's always worked out so well in the past.

Capitalist aggression always does work out well, for a few Fat Cat Capitalists, that is.

Venezuela needs help. Not the opposite of help - donald trump. I wish some foreign power would install a "leader" here - oh wait, one already has.

'A new day is coming to Latin America': Donald Trump warns Venezuelan military leaders

"WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump bluntly put Venezuela’s military leaders on notice Monday that they should embrace the Latin American country’s new political leadership or they will risk their lives and their nation’s future.

In unusually harsh language, Trump said millions of people in Venezuela are suffering from hunger and death while military leaders in the oil-rich nation support a corrupt, repressive regime that has hidden away billions of dollars.

“We know who they are, and we know where they keep the billions of dollars they have stolen,” Trump said during a speech in Miami.

Trump’s remarks came just weeks after his administration recognized opposition leader Juan Guaido as Venezuela’s president and were directed at Florida’s Venezuelan community as he tries to appeal to Latino votes heading into the 2020 election."


I wonder if the Venezuelan and Latino voters referenced in the article realize they're being played just like everyone else trump cheats a deal with?

If not, I certainly hope they are aware of the consequences.
