Trump casually confirms first land strike on plant in Venezuela: 'We knocked that out'

President Donald Trump appeared to give nonchalant confirmation of the first US land strike in Venezuela during a radio interview last week that received little attention.

The president said that the Christmas Eve strike was on a facility 'where the ship comes from' – seemingly referencing the origination location of the alleged drug vessels that the US military has been targeting in the Caribbean and Atlantic over the last three months.

Speaking to radio host and billionaire John Catsimatidis on WABC, Trump made the bombshell suggestion that US forces have already started conducting land operations in Venezuela.

'I don't know if you read or you saw, they have a big plant or a big facility where they send the – where the ships comes from,' Trump said during the impromptu call-in the day after Christmas.

'Two nights ago we knocked that out – so we hit them very hard,' the president confirmed.

We are not playing.

In matters of international intrigue I usually give way to the president even when they are democrats. They know way more than I do and it would not be at all wise to inform the citizens of any and all intelligence and deals and activities. At that level I trust and pray. I really can’t know much about these interventions except what’s on the surface and I assume there is usually much more to it.

Ha-ha! I like that one.

**Meanwhile, President Trump is truly a Man of His Time.
This is just the kind of Bold and Prepared leadership we need right now. Be ready to show that strength every so often, leaving no doubt about our capabilities as a nation.
Then, be ready to explain and re-explain to the press what was just now done. They’re going to ask. Let them ask.

Some will cry those are acts of war.

Strangely, no one has even after 5 days. You would think venezuela, the UN and the like would be bellyaching to any media outlet who would listen by now.

Yep. Exactly... that Sheepdog fable keeps going around. But the Founding Fathers knew the opposite... the dangers of standing Armies. That sheepdog can and will bite the sheep when he deeps in necessary. And that this is the norm.

Don’t think sheepdogs bite their protectees? Anyone remember covid? Every sheepdog we had turned on us the minute their masters said so. And anyone remember January 6? The entire military turned on the American people. The military also lead the charge for woke and sexual perversion and trannies and will revert back the instant Trump is gone and a democrat is in.
So much for self-congratulating sheepdog fable.

Also, amid all the cheerleading for attacks, we should consider something bigger.

All the Somalis, Palestinians, Syrians, Afghans, Iraqis, MS-13 Salvadorans, etc on our streets. They all come from wars and interventions. in 1960 America was 88% white and 93% Christian. It was us, Hispanics and Blacks. It was a great place to live and getting better by the day.

But we chose Empire. And like Rome, the detritus from our wars of fun and profit and overseas adventures have all come back here to America. Vietnamese, Chinamen, El Salvadorans, Guatemalans, Palestinians, Ukrainians, Syrians, Saudis, Iraqis, Afghans, Iranians, Pakis, Indians, etc...

Play with a turd, get crap on your fingers. When we overthrow Maduro and install the Nobel Prize woman, THEN it’s a guarantee we will pour in a trillion or two in nation building (while being lectured that it’s actually a money maker) and get a wave of immigration from our new Venezuelan besties.
Then standing next door, Columbia will be kinda sad looking and want uncle sugar to help them too.

The crap never ends. Go team....

I have had a heeler... he is no friend of the sheep. She is more than happy to nip and bite them to make them do what he wants. In fact, she enjoys doing so...

Blowing up the docking location will prevent other lives from being killed in boats.

This is a humanitarian action.

I want to see the administration concentrating on prosecuting the 2020 election stealers, the lawfare criminals, the Jan 6 false prosecutions, the House Jan 6 committee liars and criminals, and scammers like the Minnestota Somalians who rooked taxpayers out of billions and billions.

So we should just let all the drugs come in? Let 10s of thousands of Americans die from them. Is that what you voted for?

Sheepdogs are real, and it applies to individuals, not nations.
