US Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed that Venezuelan President Maduro is not a legitimate president and is exporting drugs. She said that the US is prepared to use every element of American power to halt drug flows. Trump has mobilized three destroyers and 4,000 Marines going towards Venezuela right now. However, Venezuela is not a threat to the US.

President Maduro announced a plan to mobilize 4.5 million militia members across the country.

Trump’s incursion is about the oil. At a campaign rally in 2024, Trump declared that he wanted to steal Venezuela’s oil. He said, “When I left, Venezuela was ready to collapse. We would have taken it over. We would have gotten all that oil. It would have been right next door. We would have taken over Venezuela. We would have gotten all their oil.”

Trump campaigned as the peace president, but he is risking war. Dore quipped, “No matter who you vote for, you get John McCain.”

Jimmy Dore pointed out that the US previously imposed heavy sanctions against Venezuela to collapse its government and to install puppet Juan Guaido who’s friendly to American corporations in order to steal the oil. He said that this is what this is all about.

Dore added that if the the US military topples the Venezuelan government, it will create a whole bunch of Venezuelan refugees who will come to America where Trump and his friends will scapegoat them for all of our economic problems. He said that these people create immigrants and then they blame them for everything.

The invasion of Venezuela will also serve as a distraction from the Epstein file scandal and a distraction from US leaders funding Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.
