Taking bets on when the war against Venezuela begins

[Arazi]

With the USS Gerald R. Ford now in position in the Caribbean, the U.S. has reached its largest regional military buildup in generations, nearly a dozen Navy ships and roughly 12,000 sailors and Marines for “Operation Wag-The-Dog” er…
“Operation Southern Spear.”

The Epstein House vote is on Tuesday.

So my bet is the assault begins Tuesday.

Anyone else think it’s happening on a different day/timeline? 🤔

1. what day are they voting on Epstein?

venezuela may not be the target. these guys can turn on a dime.

and the very richest guys in florida really want, well, a place very different and maybe closer to home.

2. Early morning hours Tuesday.

4. I almost went with Monday night

They’re going to want some other epic distraction to consume the media from that vote

8. Don't think that is anywhere near enough troops for a invasion

Most of that 12,000 are sailors, the Iwo Jima Amphibious Group carries just the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), which comprises a Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron, a Combat Logistics Battalion, and a Battalion Landing Team.
1 or 2 Battalions are not enough.

In theory the 82nd Airborne could jump in and take a airport to fly in more troops but that's pretty risky without lots of prep getting air superiority & degrading air defenses & nearby forces.

9. Do you think they'll start with an invasion? My assumption was an air campaign to start

[EX500rider]

12. Air campaign to start for sure or you'd have another Bay of Pigs IMO

10. Gee, it would have to be tomorrow, wouldn't it?

Not much time left.

11. Probably never since Congress has to authorize a war and I don't think they'll do that

HAHAHAHAHA God damn i'm funny. "Congress has to approve a war". Oh man, I crack myself up. I should have done standup for a living, honestly.

13. What's the supposed reason

for a war against Venezuela?

[Jack Valentino]

14. If any such thing actually DOES happen, then Trump clearly learned nothing from

the Iraq war...


I tend to believe and hope that this is just standard 'gunboat diplomacy'...
