Trump aide John Bolton is once again taking the helm in threatening the
Venezuelan government, saying that the arrest of the opposition leader’s
chief of staff “would not go unanswered,” and that President Maduro made “another big mistake.”
Bolton further declared that the “window is closing” and all Maduro supporters will be “strangled financially”
if they don’t accept US demands for regime change. US officials have
demanded that Maduro turn over the government to opposition leader Juan
Guaido.
The arrest of Roberto Marrero, Guaido’s chief of staff, happened after a pre-dawn raid. Marrero is being accused of plotting attacks on top political figures, and was arrested with two rifles. The US accuses the government of planting these and making up the case.
It’s not clear who is telling the truth, but the US has been trying to
sneak “aid” into the country to bolster Guaido, and the person doing
this, Elliot Abrams, is known for using humanitarian aid as a guise for
arms smuggling, which is both a reason to suggest the US might be trying
to ship arms into Venezuela, and that a key opposition figure might
suddenly have some guns and plans to do something with them.
Bolton may have better luck with Venezuelan windows than Turkish doors.
But, but “the gun is not cocked”? Idiotic bullying language.
Well, John Wells, Bonkers Bolton is a lunatic, has been for quite some time. Remember, early in W’s 1st term as POTUS, Bonkers was US Ambassador to the UN (W had appointed him and the Senate confirmed him). Bonkers created chaos at the UN Security Council when he ranted incoherently at both his Chinese and Russian counterparts .. W had to fire him and he did, and replaced him with the more moderate, retired Army General Colin Powell.
Since his firing from the UN post, Bonkers Bolton found work with the Trotskyists aka Neocons .. this gave him opportunities to take trips to Israel and make close friends with PM Bibzy Nutty&Yahoo. It wasn’t until sometime in 2018 that Bonkers was tapped for the Nat. Security Adviser by President Trump at the behest of Nutty&Yahoo. Little did Trump know that Bonkers – along with the newly appointed SOS Pompous Pompeo – would undermine his agenda of withdrawing all US troops from Syria (and, eventually Afghanistan), and would later on sabotage his 2nd summit with N. Korean Chairman Kim Jong-Un.
Bolton is merely pleasuring himself, like his BFF Pompeo, and their mutual boss.
The Neocons are going crazy over the arrest.

To think that the CIA isn’t actively supporting anti-government groups in Venezuela, supplementing them with mercenaries from all over the world, and supplying them with weapons and training, would be the height of naiveté.
Bolton is Trump’s point man for regime change operations. Pompeo merely exchanged his CIA portfolio for a Department of State portfolio. His methods remain the same. Look to Syria to see how well that played out. Expect the Chavistas in Venezuela to show them what a real home-grown insurrection looks like if Guaido ever gets into power, as they sure aren’t buying this one.
I’m American born to Syrian parents and my father spends 6 months every year in Syria in Damascus suburb near village we are from . Anyway I hear allot about the US vs. Syrian regime ? Not True. We had the support of the entire world after Bashar used chemicals(Obamas red line) but Israel took credit for making the deal that left Assad in power. When the Majority of Syrians saw that the US trained rebels not to engage with regime army & Shia gangs. Most Syrian rebels quit bcuz ‘ISIS ‘ is in tiny area far from any large towns, and regime is torturing us in jails and using Hezbula to ethnically cleanse Sunni Syria.
Now US is aligned with a group called SDF A traditionally communist people who never claim to be Syrians. Next time u see ‘Syrian democratic forces’ try to spot a Syrian flag. U will definitely see Kurdish Terrorist insignia and Kurdistan flags. Assad has been Zionist of the decade . Who has killed more SUNNI Muslims and Orthodox Christians that Bashar? I have several missing cousins and routinely my family gets messages asking for cash in exchange for the release of relatives but thank GOD one of my cousins was freed after $60k
Most sunni men had to leave because they didn’t want to be killed or worse they might have to guard the over crowded death camps.
Anyway Syria is not like Libya or Venezuela bcuZ unlike Qaddafi, Assad has massacred his ppl.
Obama said that Qaddafi threatened Benghazi. Libya was owed $57billion by Goldman Sachs so hillary killed Qaddafi and told Goldman Sachs that half of debt is fine and paid to her. Then she killed Stevens the ambassador to the oil rich nation. Stevens had files on Qaddafis gold and cash and Stevens knew
It amazes me that the rest of the world isn’t screaming about what a rogue and lawless nation the U.S. is. We simply have no business trying to run Venezuela.
How can even “allies” support this completely illegal, cruel and stupid behavior of the Big Bully USA, which keeps pretending it is some sort of model for us all?
Russian Foreign Affairs Officials laid the red line down in Rome this week. E Abrams was told to stop attacking Venezuela and what would happen if attacks continued.
I suspect things will go covert and Colombian mercenaries will now be the tactic.
