Craziness,
cynicism, audacity, and hypocrisy, reached record levels for the US
imperialists under Trump presidency after the new direct threat
against Venezuela this time.
As RT reported:
The crisis in Venezuela could
prompt a US military response, President Donald Trump has told
reporters. The Pentagon, however, has reportedly not been directed on
any such plans.
On Friday, Trump appeared outside
his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, alongside Secretary of State
Rex Tillerson and US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley, where he told
reporters that he had “many options” for responding to the
Venezuelan crisis.
“The people are suffering and
they are dying. We have many options for Venezuela including a
possible military option if necessary,” Trump said, according
to Reuters.
Trump called Venezuelan President
Nicolas Maduro a “dictator” and blamed him for the humanitarian
situation in the country. Trump did not elaborate as to whether
American troops would be leading the military option.
“We don't talk about it,”
he said. “But a military operation, a military option, is
certainly something we could pursue.” The US military, however,
has not been instructed to provide that option. “The Pentagon
has received no orders,” Department of Defense spokesperson
Eric Pahon told Reuters.
Venezuela’s defense minister,
Vladimir Padrilo, denounced Trump’s talk of a possible military
intervention, labelling it “an act of craziness,” speaking
to state TV on Friday evening, as cited by Reuters.
The country's Communications
Minister Ernesto Villegas also called Trump's statement "an
unprecedented threat to national sovereignty" in a state TV
interview.
Thursday evening, Maduro addressed
the 545 members of the new Venezuelan Constituent Assembly and said
he wants a relationship with the US. Maduro reached out, saying, “Mr.
Donald Trump, here is my hand,” the Washington Post reported.
Meanwhile, the White House claimed
it had declined a request by Maduro to have a phone call with Trump,
accusing the Venezuelan government of not “heeding the call”
to stop alleged human rights violations.
