The news I'm seeing is that tRump is dispatching an aircraft carrier to Latin American waters.

The peace, aka POS, president is planning a land war in Venezuela in the name of stopping drug trafficking. Actually the purpose is to steal Venezuelan oil. They have the worlds largest proven oil reserves, larger than Saudi Arabia. This will be an international crime of the highest order. Venezuela does have a large military. They will most certainly fight to defend their country. If need be they will go under ground and fight an endless guerilla war (See Vietnam, Iraq, etc.). American men and women will die and be maimed for life in order to satisfy a mad man's ego and greed.

I guess we will see if the American military has been so hollowed out that it will carry out such a blatant illegal order.

It has the world's largest oil resources.
Worth billions of dollars.

Trump will commit the biggest robbery of US and global resources in history?
