You got to hand it to the Colombian President, Gustavo Petro, who didn't go down the route of some World Leaders who signaled their disapproval of America's imperialism and killing of over 100 civilians whilst kidnapping of the Venezuelan President, he dived straight in head first.
'A clan of paedophiles wants to destroy democracy in Columbia. Harsh, yes, but that’s the reality' were the opening words before going on to explain that Trump's action's were trying to distract from the Epstein files
The American defence of their actions is full of holes, if they wanted to go after the drugs angle then the US Intelligence themselves say that Cocaine comes from Colombia and Fentanyl from Mexico, Venezuela is a place they pass through and if they blame the Venezuelan regime, they are happy to leave the regime intact with the people surrounding Maduro still there and the number two behind
Maduro is being sworn in as we speak and appears acceptable to the Trump regime.
But the imperialistic military action comes at a time when Trump has also freed or pardoned other convicted drug dealers and people accused of ties to drug gangs and cartels - notably the former president of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernandez, who had been convicted in the U.S. of helping smuggle more than 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S and was sentenced to 45 years prison time .
Also freed by Trump was Ross Ulbricht who was serving a life sentence for creating a dark web site known as Silk Road, used by drug traffickers to buy and sell drugs and also Larry Hoover, who was serving multiple life sentences in federal prison for drug trafficking as well as freeing and deporting to El Salvador a man named Cesar Humberto Lopez-Lario, accused by the DOJ of being a high-ranking leader of the drug gang MS-13.
In his first disastrous term in the White House, Trump also freed Gen. Salvador Cienfuegos Zepeda, Mexico's former Secretary of National Defense who was on trial for partnering closely with drug cartels that funneled vast amounts of drugs into the U.S.
What they are not saying, and only Donald Trump is repeating, is that they are keen to get their hands on Venezuelan oil on behalf of the American oil companies and for the profits for America but they are playing down that angle and going with the drugs.
Obviously nonsense to anyone not gullible enough to believe the weak Trump justification and as the USA has a veto at the United Nations, nothing is going to happen there but at least it is a chance for the International Community to say America, and Trump, are wrong un's and this was ALL about the sex pest getting his teeny tiny hands on the black stuff in the ground in Venezuela and yes Mr Colombian President, deflecting attention away from the Epstein Files .
