Why Trump wants War with Venezuela – Its Not about Replacing Maduro
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

by David j Dilworth<\/p>\n

Trump is spending tens of millions to deport people from US to anywhere else; primarily those with a Venezuelan connection.<\/p>\n

However, his deportations are monstrously illegal<\/strong><\/a> – primarily (why?) because —
\nONLY Congress has responsibility for Immigration and Deportation !<\/strong><\/p>\n

So instead of getting Congressional permission,\u00a0 he’s falsely claiming he has authority from the “Alien Enemies Act<\/a>
\n<\/p>\n

His problem is – “Alien Enemies Act” claim requires a war<\/strong> with the country the Deportees come from, and as far as I can tell —<\/p>\n

USA is Not at War with Venezuela !<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yet.<\/p>\n

So If Trump starts a war with Venezuela –
\nthen he can more faintly credibly claim —<\/p>\n

“The USA is at War with Venezuela – so I can deport anyone<\/em><\/strong>
\neven faintly connected to Venezuela by invoking the “Alien Enemies Act<\/em><\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

Stay tuned…<\/p>\n

PS Of course this wouldn’t have any connection with Trump trying to steal Venezuela’s Oil<\/a>, our planet’s largest oil reserves (though its oil is very “dirty”)<\/a> . . .<\/p>\n

PPS And here’s a Cartoon Satire of USA Sword Rattling in Venezuela<\/a> It also includes a different motive for Dump’s Offense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
