There’s a chinese saying that goes something like “ you strangle the chicken to frighten the monkeys”

venezuela is easy. they are very ripe for being taken down.

There’s already a legitimate government in waiting ready to take their place.

Mr. Chinese Official, we British are only supplying opium.

Get your soldiers out of our way, we have a business to run.

"Why dont you watch his 30 minute report I haven’t managed yet"

You watch it and then tell us the bull$hit that's in it. I don't know about you, but my time is precious. I don't waste time I'll never get back watching propaganda videos.

"But this is closer to the truth than what the US govt’ is telling you."

And you know that because??? You read it in a Sky News article posted online? LOL!! You're hilarious. Good comedy entertainment.

Your squeeze Rand Paul didn’t give a shit when Obama blew up four Americans with drones, so why should you care if President Trump blows up drug boats with bombs?

The author of the article suspects that trump has another motive. I agree.
////////////
So one can only conclude he is either mistaken and misinformed, or he has another motive. I suspect it is the latter, and that regime change in Venezuela is top of the list.

More nonsense and you know this because I told you last time

On twitter he has numerous timestamped tweets attacking Obama’s drone policy

Well at least you’re open to persuasion and can see it

Others don’t necessarily or dont want to and either personally attack me or bury their heads

RandFan, should China apologize for fighting by military means the importation of opium into China?

Is your beloved senator prepared to say that China was wrong to have fought the First & Second Opium Wars?

He said: “I happen to know RandFan from another forum and RF is a straight up Conservative and Trump supporter.”

I responded: “Well you’d never know that from his years of posting here. Is it something he tries to hide?”

Your comment: “When have I hidden anything. Total nonsense again. Stick to the facts and the sources im presenting stop trying to attack the messenger” makes zero sense as a response to what I said in the context in which I said it.

You can have more than one motive / goal in mind for certain actions.

It’s not just about veracity, is it.

Many people want to attack the messenger when it’s awkward

The argument that the Venezuelans aren’t running fentanyl is garbage like the argument that only “violent” illegals should be deported. Pure garbage to limit Trump’s efforts.
All of a sudden lowlifes running cocaine are fine, you should only go after fentanyl. Left wing rubbish!!!

I happen to know RandFan from another forum and RF is a straight up Conservative and Trump supporter.

He has never been enthusiastic about Trump since January 20th. He isn't a part of this revolution. He's a squishy Tory excited to get run over by his enemies.

Well, yeah. There’s a lot to this build up that has to do with China Russia and Cuba. I read recently that the russian embassy in Caracus had evacuated the country. they know what’s coming

the narco thing is popular. But its likely the prelude of more determined operation in Venezuela where the object is to kick out Maduro.

Then there’s other things. Likely the president wants to hold of all the information he can on the voting machine company that venezuela spawned. That company in the USA was recently bought by a republican. but likely its history was scrubbed before the sale.

Then there’s all the freaking prison gangs that maduro released into the USA.
