US Targets Venezuela for Regime Change: Trump Cites False Pretext For More Regime Change

Despite campaigning to end US regime change wars abroad, President Trump has now waged war against both Yemen and Iran, continued the US proxy war in Ukraine against Russia, and is now mobilizing the US military to threaten (again) Venezuela with regime change in Latin America.

The pretext is allegations of “narco-terrorism” and claims Venezuela is flooding US borders with illicit narcotics. However, the same Trump administration creating this pretext has also claimed that not only has the US border been “secured,” illegal narc-oterrorist drug gangs operating inside the US have been rounded up.

Both can’t be true – and in fact, neither is.
