Trump's failure to start a civil war in Venezuela could be proved disastrous for the plans of the US imperialists

by system failure

Donald Trump and his bloodthirsty warhawks are about to break the record of failed attempted coups against a single country. Concerning Latin America, the US imperialists were setting the desirable conditions for their corporate beasts usually by overthrowing governments and supporting military dictatorships.

But Trump himself has already broken another record. The record of not keeping his promises to the American people - every one of them. The 'anti-interventionist', 'anti-establishment' Trump, has already started a war against Venezuela, which so far includes brutal economic sanctions, sabotage operations, attempted coups. Trump not only does whatever he can in order to satisfy the US neocon/neoliberal establishment and the deep state, but especially in the case of Venezuela, he follows the obsolete CIA playbook to the letter.

So, after a series of failed orchestrated coups, Trump's warhawks attempted to start a civil war in Venezuela by mobilizing both of their puppets, Juan Guaido and Leopoldo Lopez. This latest attempt failed again miserably as the Venezuelan military generals and the vast majority of the military have pledged their loyalty to Maduro, one more time.

So, 'naturally', the only option left for the US imperialists is a military invasion against Venezuela. The typical sequence followed in these cases.

However, it appears that this latest option will come with a very heavy cost, which the US imperialists and their Western allies can't handle.

First of all, Trump may lose the opportunity for a second term. A number of Trump's supporters already express their disappointment, as they see that the US president has failed to fulfill his promises. That is, create jobs, prevent mass layoffs, reduce taxes for the middle class. If he follows the warhawks into another disastrous invasion - especially against a country that by no means poses a threat to the US - instead of focusing on the enormous problems of the US middle class, he will likely see his popularity dropping rapidly.

This will force the US deep state to accelerate plans for a second invasion against Iran, because Trump's warmongering cabinet may not be there under another president after 2020. Yet, this would be a complete madness. The wounded US beast can't handle two major wars in different continents thousands of miles away, even if the Sino-Russian bloc remain neutral, which is almost impossible.

But even if Trump manage to survive and win a second term, the war against Venezuela will not be a piece of cake. It is not just the military supporting Maduro. Millions of Chavistas across the country are ready to take the arms in order to defend the Revolution and their country from a US imperialist invasion. It will be almost impossible for the neocons to focus on Iran with the Venezuela front open, causing heavy loses in lives and money. Not to mention of course the reaction of the Russians and the Chinese.

An alternative option for the moment would be a proxy war against Venezuela. It could be organized by the CIA, using a mixture of mercenaries and US puppet governments like the ones in Brazil and Colombia.

Still, with the support of the military and millions of Chavistas inside the country, as well as, the support of Russia and China, Maduro would likely win again.

It is perfectly understandable why the US imperialist warhawks are pushing so hard for regime change in Venezuela. They are running out of time and they are very far behind the schedule.

But the neocon/neoliberal establishment has one more reason to be nervous: a possible big surprise in the 2020 US election, with an 'undesirable' person as the next US president that will destroy its plans for good.

  1. Don't tell the Trumpian right or Drudge. Here's a sampling of their bold headlines right now:
    ENVY OF THE WORLD
    UNEMPLOYMENT 49-YEAR LOW
    WAGE HITS $27.77/HOUR
    STOCK MARKET ENDLESS RALLY
    TRUMP APPROVAL 50%

  2. maybe endless confusion, disorder and chaos is the aim? Winning' is nice, but unneccessary, The effect on the US middle class is irrelevant to those benefitting from the chaos. Order takes energy, chaos saps opponents energy. I haven't looked, but I bet there is order and security wherever the oil is shipped from!

  3. UNEMPLOYMENT 49-YEAR LOW
    WAGE HITS $27.77/HOUR
    STOCK MARKET ENDLESS RALLY
    TRUMP APPROVAL 50%

    The first two are utter fantasy... I am in the job
    market on the west coast and unemployment
    is about 20% and you are lucky to see $15.00
    an hour...full time work VERY rare now to...

    Headlines like this cause massive cognitive
    dissonance among the sheep on the streets
    so the suicides and drug use and learned
    helplessness you see are unsurprising...

Israel’s Descent Into Madness & the Holocaust Comparison

BreakThrough News   Rania Khalek was joined by Tarik Cyril Amar, a historian from Germany and associate professor at Koc University in Istanbul, to discuss Israel’s descent into genocidal fascism. Prof. Amar addresses whether it’s useful to make Holocaust and Nazi comparisons and the real reason behind the West’s unshakeable loyalty attitude when it comes to Israel’s barbarism.   

Zionist and US imperialist criminals are about to grab the natural gas off shore Gaza

globinfo freexchange   As the genocide against Palestinians of Gaza is about to be completed with an act of unprecedented brutality by the Zionists and butcher Netanyahu through the bombardment of about 1.4 million civilians in Rafah, it seems that they have already set their next primary goal. Which, in short, is to grab the natural gas resources off shore Gaza, together with their US imperialist buddies whose contribution to the genocide has been undoubtedly critical.     As already reported , in 2007, Hamas came to power and Israel launched an offensive on Gaza Strip, leaving behind 1,400 dead Palestinians, but taking with it the gas fields. Within a year, Israel announced the discovery of the Leviathan natural gas field, which did include Gaza's riches, valued at 453 billion dollars. But Gazans have been denied around 47 billion dollars in revenue. As for Tel Aviv, it's gunning to become a new hub. At that moment in time, that is 2022, Russian oil and gas were sanctioned.

failed evolution   1) Συμβαίνει το μεγαλύτερο σιδηροδρομικό δυστύχημα στην ιστορία της χώρας. 2) Γίνεται αστραπιαία επιχείρηση μοντάζ των συνομιλιών του σταθμάρχη από μηχανισμό του καθεστώτος, πριν ακόμα φτάσει στα χέρια των αρχών, προκειμένου να αποδοθεί η τραγωδία αποκλειστικά σε ανθρώπινο λάθος και να βγουν από το κάδρο οι πολιτικές ευθύνες ανώτατων κυβερνητικών αξιωματούχων. 3) Αναπαράγεται το παραποιημένο υλικό αστραπιαία από ναυαρχίδα της καθεστωτικής προπαγάνδας. 4) Τοποθετείται επικεφαλής στην επιτροπή-παρωδία πρωτοπαλίκαρο του καθεστώτος Μητσοτάκη που εργάζονταν παλιά στην ίδια αυτή ναυαρχίδα. 5) Η επιτροπή κλείνει άρον-άρον την υπόθεση αποκλείοντας ουσιώδεις μάρτυρες που είχαν προειδοποιήσει επανειλημμένα τον αρμόδιο υπουργό για τον κίνδυνο μεγάλου δυστυχήματος. Σταματάει έτσι και η όποια σε βάθος διερεύνηση για την τσιμεντοποίηση του χώρου και την απόπειρα συγκάλυψης της τραγωδίας.

The Shadowy, Intelligence-Linked Group Driving the US Towards War With Iran

"United Against Nuclear Iran does not miss an opportunity to try to bring the United States closer to a military conflict with Iran. And on the other side of the equation, they also have worked very hard to oppose efforts to de-escalate the U.S.-Iran relationship."   by Alan Macleod   Part 7 - A Lesson From History   The history of Iran has been intimately intertwined with the United States since at least 1953 when Washington orchestrated a successful coup against Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh. Mosaddegh had refused U.S. demands to stamp out Communist influences in his country and had nationalized the nation’s oil. The U.S. installed Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi as a puppet ruler. An unpopular and authoritarian ruler, the Shah was overthrown in the Revolution of 1979. Since then, it has become a target for regime change, and its nuclear program is something of an obsession in the West. Often orchestrated by UANI officials while they were in government, the U.S. has carried

The Invasion of Gaza's Resources Begins: Jared Kushner, the EU, Egypt & US

Richard Medhurst   Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's son in law who previously tried to steal land in the Middle East from Arabs has said that Israel should empty the Gaza strip of civilians. He said that " Gaza's waterfront property could be very valuable ". He then proceeded to suggest ethnic cleansing: " move the people out and clean it [Gaza] up " Simultaneously, the transfer of billions of dollars from the European Union (7.4b EUR), the International Monetery Fund ($8b) and the United Arab Emirates ($32b) to Egypt: an attempt to buy Sisi's silence perhaps? The United States is also shipping 1000 troops and a firm "Fogbow", owned by a former CIA officer and USMC veteran, in order to build a pier in Gaza. These events do not seem like a coincidence. Medhurst explains why this relates to theft of gas and building of a canal in Gaza.   Related: Zionist and US imperialist criminals are about to grab the natural gas off shore Gaza
