AFP: US Navy ‘ready’ for Venezuela mission, says a top commander
The US Navy is ready to “do what needs to be done” on Venezuela, a top commander said on Monday, as America ramps up pressure on the crisis-wracked country.
US Southern Command chief Admiral Craig Faller made the remarks in Rio de Janeiro as the United States kicked off its annual UNITAS maritime exercise involving nine Latin American countries as well as the UK, Portugal and Japan.
“I won’t speak to details of what we’re planning and what we’re doing, but we remain ready to implement policy decisions and we remain on the balls of our feet,” Faller told reporters.
He added: “The United States Navy is the most powerful navy in the world. If a policy decision is made to deploy the navy, I’m convinced that we’ll be able to do what needs to be done.”

The Chinese are not selling Venezuela new military hardware.
What about the Russians?
If China and Russia do not sell spare parts, then the air force navy and armor become partially or not mission capable.
Besides drugs Venezuela is being propped up by an illegal gold trade. Maybe the CIA could stop that.
If the Venezuelan military is starving from lack of spare parts then in the near future giving the opposition ant-tank missiles becomes a potential game changer.
Much should be made of the illegal gold trade. They are mining it with environmentally unsafe practices. It is also "conflict" gold. They should try that angle. For one it is true.
Maybe the CIA could bomb a drug flight form Venezuela to Cuba to put a kink in the drug pipeline and slow down the money/drug flow.

Here is what a noted conservative says about diversity.
"Diversity is perversity." - Michael Savage

I live with a person that is from another culture, race, and ethnicity. There is no diversity.
- Eating ethnic food is not diversity of thought.
- Speaking different languages is not diversity of thought.
- Skin color is not diversity.
So this person is different, but there is no diversity. We both have the same work ethic, child raising goals, etc.
If the (((CIA))) is truly doing that in Estonia, if comes from the (((Brennan))), Liberal, (((commutard, screaming maniac))) faction of the CIA.
This is not a strictly American disease. It is a liberal disease many of which were cultured or nurtured by the KGB. You will find this disease among the Eurotrash Left/Liberals/(((Libtards))).
The Wall Street Journal is for open borders for the US and has been since the 1990s. They believe there should be no impediment to the free flow of capital or people. So some people honestly believe this and are open about. It takes away the conspiracy angle. There should be one world government, but timing and how it comes about are important. Just throwing open your borders willy nilly is not the way to do it. It is what many liberals and some fiscal conservative (WSJ) want.
