Monday night’s US announcement of an economic embargo against Venezuela was quickly criticized by the Venezuelan government, who termed it an “act of war,” and said that all options are on the table. Russian officials labeled the US move “economic terrorism.”
The Trump Administration, and John Bolton in particular, are looking to double-down
on the move, saying they intend to also target any country that
supports Maduro, and are prepared to sanction any international country
caught doing business with Maduro.
Bolton is representing the US in a summit on Venezuela, and is pushing
for more and tougher international action to try to impose the
US-demanded regime change that they’ve been pushing since January.
Bolton says anyone that continues to do business with Venezuela must
proceed “with extreme caution,” and that companies need to choose
between Maduro personally or the entire US financial system.

Thurasday it will be Iran. Friday, Syria. Saturday, Cuba. Sunday…..
This is why Evo Morales is tightening up with Russia and China as much as possible.
Somebody – namely DJT – tell Bonkers Bolton he’s fired and has no more say in foreign policy. He’s a total lunatic who sabotages most of the good diplomacy DJT has achieved and is about to achieve.
Anyway, placing an embargo on Venezuela’s not only an act of war, it’s a serious violation of International law.
And while he’s at it, he should fire the idiot who hired Bolton in the first place.
Could you give me some examples of Trump’s “good diplomacy” regarding Venezuela?
From yesterday’s article:
“US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order imposing an economic embargo against Venezuela, in the latest move against President Nicolas Maduro and his government.”
Trump signed it, not Bolton.
Spanky is the Teflon Czar…..
This demonstrates to the whole world just how thoroughly anti-democratic and rogue the US really is.
Can anyone explain, by what authority can a US president do this ?
Trump thinks that he is the French Pope who signed the Jerusalem Treaty with Sal Adin (See Monroe Doctorine)
I can’t wait! Regime change has been such a smashing success, I bet that inside every sanction-starved Venezuelan, there’s a red-blooded American waiting to climb out!!!
