With Venezuela’s government ordering the withdrawal of the last of US
embassy personnel, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tried to spin it as a
positive for the continued efforts to impose regime change there.
Pompeo said that “time is drawing short” for Venezuela, while saying the
presence of a US embassy had been a “constraint on US policy,” and one
that no longer exists now that the staff is being recalled.
Exactly what this will mean from a policy standpoint is unclear, though
clearly the administration wants to keep reminding everybody that
military intervention is possible Elliot Abrams confirmed this in his
own comments, saying that the option to attack Venezuela will always remain on the table.
Administration officials say that they remain hopeful to impose change
within Venezuela in some way other than military intervention. Weeks of
demanding change and threatening to attack clearly isn’t working,
however, and officials seem bound and determined to Venezuela in
general, and Venezuela’s oil-generating capacity in particular, in hands
more friendly to US policy.
Shame on the rotten neocons.
And their enabler.
OK. I’ll bite.
To whom do you ascribe the label enabler of neocons?
Just a friendly question.
My mistake. I only meant the neocons who are in the position to have significant input into our foreign policy.
Fair enough. And, agreed.
Thanks for politely posting.
Best,

Trumpsters, this is your president hard at work, willing to go to war to control another oil-producing country that hasn’t as yet signed on with the New World Order in which international crime syndicates masquerading as governments create chaos and destruction solely to make tons of money in the process.
Trump has been beholden to them for decades, even offering up his own daughter to the son of a mob minion who spent time in the clink for a host of crimes. These nefarious entities now control US foreign policy through team Jared and Bibi, directing it toward what’s best for Israel rather than what’s best for US. Is it any wonder that the crazy Christian Zionists are so enthralled with Trump? He’s now their point man for world chaos and Armageddon. Hang onto your seat, folks, it’s going to be a rough ride ahead for us all.
“even offering up his own daughter to”
I’ve seen that claim before, although the other versions I’ve noticed have been about Kushner and his father being Jewish rather than about them being mobbed up.
But either way, is there any evidence whatsoever that anyone other than Ivanka Trump decided who Ivanka Trump was going to marry?
Meyer Lansky? Benjamin Siegel? Hyman Roth?
Jews can be in “The Mob”.
Who said they couldn’t?
“Sez who?”
Relax. I was using your post in a somewhat clumsy way to work “Hyman Roth” into the national discourse.
I sincerely apologize.
But you left out Hesh Rabkin!
Ha! Sopranos burn. Classic.
Marriage between mob families has a long tradition. I don’t think Ivanka’s true feelings have much bearing on anything. The facts are that Kushner’s office tower at 666 Fifth Avenue, NYC was declared bankrupt in February of this year. He’s using his influence with his father-in-law to attract Saudi money to save his bacon. This will all come out when the Southern District of New York finishes its investigation.
Time to leave for good and watch it burn.
What, and miss all the fun and excitement?
You’ll still be able to see the pyre from Iceland.
There is a declining support for Christian Zionism, and for Israel as US foreign policy partner. Among others, even more. And if Trump indeed is the factor, the support would have gone up.
People do fall in love, and sometimes against all odds. Otherwise, it is hard to imagine a hard core Zionist marrying a non-Jewish woman of German-Scottish-Slavic ancestry. By the definition of DNA police in Israel, their kuds are not Jewish.
Do not you pay attention to the internal Israeli politics? It would not be worth it, except that it has the propensity of jerking our foreign policy in the process. There is a huge resentment against “Russians” and their propensity to speak Russian. And the resentment has found its expression in DNA, as many Russian Jews intermarried with Russians, and identified themselves as Jewish mostly culturally. Many “Russians” are leaving Israel, especially younger generations. Many back to Russia. And they are not that shy to speak about the treatment of Palestinians, about the loss of secular character of the country, down to the dismal state of urban environment, pollution and insular mentality. A number of Israeli media has covered the problem. And after Russia interveened in Syria, the full blown hysteria rules. So, Israeli-Palestinuan problem resulted in America being in war with Moslem world one way or another. Israeli “Russian” problem has become the rallying cry of Western elites, competing for the most strident hate of anything Russian. UK probably being the most absurd of them all. So, the demonization is a perennially usefull tool in the toolkit of all zealots. For as long as new generations of fools are being born every day.
The only reason I voted for Trump in the 2016 elections is I’d never vote for the Hildebeast Hillary, Thomas. With Obama’s approval, Hillary ordered military rescuers not to save Ambassador Chris Stevens and his security staff from the mob of Jihadists at the US Consulate in Benghazi. Before that tragedy, Hillary was in the Situation Room watching the capture and subsequent torture/murder of Muammar Gadhaffi, cackling as she said, “I came; I saw; he died”, a parody of Julius Caesar’s famous quote, “I came; I saw; I conquered”, after having conquered Gaul (later, modern day France).
Trump started out in his first year in office on the right foot. In both his campaign and Inaugural speeches, he had pledged to end these unending wars of aggression that were started by Dubya Bush and extended by Barack Obama. His first summit with DPRK Chairman Kim Jong-Un in Singapore was a success. Both the DPRK and S. Korea united their Olympic athletes into one team, and both Kim and his S. Korean counterpart, President Moon Jae-In held discussions in Pyongyang on issues of ending testing of nukes and missiles, and even ending the Korean Cold War via a peace treaty.
Trump and Chinese President Xi Jingping had a good summit in Washington, DC, followed by his summit in Helsinki with Russian President Vladimir Putin. All of this was done before the evil troika of Pompous Pompass, Bonkers Bolton and Elliott Abrams came aboard the Trump Administration; therefore, these three traitors/mass murderers are responsible for the change in Trump .. they undermined any and every peaceful agenda Trump had planned to enact.
Yes, he should’ve fired them long ago, before the Venezuela crisis came along via Juan Guaido’s claim to the presidency. Instead, he went along with those 3 traitors and recognized Guaido as Venezuela’s legitimate President, which is, of course, a lie. President Nicolas Maduro had been democratically elected twice by the majority of the Venezuelan electorate.
Trump’s weakness, therefore, is his lack of understanding foreign policy, as well as his inability to stand up to the 3 traitors/mass murderers and their master, Israeli PM Bibzy Nutty&Yahoo, who’s behind all this chaos. Bonkers Bolton has even admitted he and Nuttyy&Yahoo are very close friends. As for Abrams, he’s the creepiest character to ever “grace” the TV screen .. He resembles a demon, which he is.
What he means, now they’ll be poisoning the water supply.
Pompeo is more like a consigliere for a Mafia boss than a Sec.of state.
The man has no diplomatic skills.
So they are pretending that changing the elected president, sending “humanitarian aid” and lies about its destruction,calling all nations to support their illegal intervention, sanctions to ensure the people are in deep difficulties, economic thefts, and now serious attacks on the Venezuelan electricity network are not “attacks” because the USA has not got “boots on the ground” (too risky).
When is military intervention ever not on the table for the war machine? I’m pretty sure military intervention is still on the table in Nova Scotia and Froopyland.
