WASHINGTON ― Trump administration officials maintained Monday that “all options” ― including the use of military force ― are on the table concerning its attempts to remove Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro from power. And if National Security Adviser John Bolton’s notebook is to be believed, deploying troops to the region may be closer to reality than not.

During a White House press briefing meant to detail new sanctions on Maduro and Venezuela’s state-owned oil company, Bolton was photographed holding a yellow legal pad that read, “5,000 troops to Colombia,” a country sharing a border with Venezuela.
===============================================
I could see this coming some time ago: armed intervention in Venezuela to achieve regime change, though they will likely call it 'bringing liberty & stability to the poor people of Venezuela.'

Did Bolton know the media was there? Yes. Is Bolton experienced enough to know which way to hold his notepad? Yes.

What does that mean? He wanted this to be seen.

Moving on...

So, on the first page of a note pad he has one lonely sentence ... and it's marked #3.

Do you think it was too hard for him to remember that sentence, especially since he didn't mention it?!?

Man, this is so obvious ... :lamo

They're also floating the plan to get Colombia in NATO. Then they can get NATO to rubber stamp an invasion, bombing, etc. like Libya. The usual CIA "false flag" preparations.

Citation for this claim?

You failed last time.

BTW - You CT is showing.


NATO and Colombia have been engaged in dialogue and cooperation since 2013. Colombia is one of a range of countries beyond the Euro-Atlantic area – often referred to as “partners across the globe” – with which NATO is developing relations.
An Individual Partnership and Cooperation Programme, signed in May 2017, formalised the recognition of Colombia as a partner and opened access to the full range of cooperative activities. It sets out priority areas for dialogue and cooperation.
Shared priorities are to develop common approaches to global security challenges such as cyber security, maritime security, and terrorism and its links to organised crime; to support peace and security efforts, including human security; and to build the capacities and capabilities of the Colombian armed forces.


Partner =/= Joining

Colombia thus becomes NATO’s first global partner in Latin America. Those in other regions include Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, New Zealand, Japan, Mongolia, and South Korea. But planning for Colombia’s association with NATO apparently preceded that for the seven other nations. As a global partner, Colombia isn’t bound by Article 5 of NATO’s founding treaty of 1949 which declares that an attack on one member state is an attack on all of them, something applying to the 29 fully-fledged members.

You must have been the only 21 year old student on the Elementary School Bus. Now why it NATO doing anything with a South American Nation? That's all. That's 2017 and now is 2019.

You were too foolish to actually fact check your nonsense and you are busted now.

If you read for comprehension rather than response you would realize your question was answered.

Note to fieldmouse. Please forward to RT if they if they are not up to date on any of this.
I see, you don't. USA weaseling NATO into South America. USA stealing Venezuela income with sanctions to starve the already poverty stricken citizenry. UK stealing Venezuelan gold to give to unelected, self appointed El Presidente who never ran for election, US stealing CITGO income and giving Venezuelan assets to fake President to finance instability aptly invigorated by CIA covert activities. Bolton notes to send 5,000 troops to Colombia, adjacent Venezuelan border. Venezuela has OIL to support its' citizens and the USA does everything imaginable to sabotage the income from that Industry that feeds the poor citizens. Bolivarian Republic by Chavez, elected 7 times, and followed by Maduro, elected 2 times, but a SOCIALIST economy and the USA is not going to allow a socialist entity to make Corporatism look bad in this hemisphere. CORPORATISM insists upon making itself look bad and it does. Iraq, Syria and Libya are perfect examples of what the USA is trying to do to Venezuela. Same formula. Same NeoCons. Same CIA, NED, USAID, etc. Destruction and death to follow. Part of the plan.

Weaseling?

They are openly declaring a partnership with Columbia.

As far as the rest of your biased and inaccurate rant the downturn in Venezuela began long before any sanctions.

And the UK "stealing" Venezuelan gold? Where the **** did that come from?

And the monies seized were Maduro's, not Venezuela's.

And you keep babbling about elections. Your ignorance of the Venezuelan Constitution has already been noted.

As to the US "stealing" Citgo funds. Please share. What "stealing" are you speaking of?

As to the rest...

Chavez and Maduro are who created the crisis in Venezuela. The crisis was going on long before any sanctions. And the Obama era sanctions were due to human rights abuses that occurred when Venezuelans were protesting their already failed economy.

Your intentional ignorance of the causes of the collapse has been noted as well.

And the 5,000 you whine about in Columbia.... How do you think they will fare against ~500,000 Venezuelans?

Not one answer to the questions asked about your many and varied accusations.

 

[ClaraD]

While I think that Maduro is an miserable excuse for a president and a horrible human being....I do not think we should get involved in any way, shape or form. We have known for decades about the nonsense...leave it to the people there to get rid of him....

 

[ClaraD]

Weaseling?

They are openly declaring a partnership with Columbia. yes, and we shouldn't be involved

As far as the rest of your biased and inaccurate rant the downturn in Venezuela began long before any sanctions. actually, the downturn happened right before Chavez died

And the UK "stealing" Venezuelan gold? Where the **** did that come from?

And the monies seized were Maduro's, not Venezuela's. No, the money belongs to Venezuelan treasury from all of the reports I have heard in Spanish

And you keep babbling about elections. Your ignorance of the Venezuelan Constitution has already been noted. This I agree with...election is a misnomer

We should not stick our nose in this...let South American, Central American countries and the people of Venezuela resolve this themselves...everything we touch turns to chit when we try to fix things in Latin America, if they coup him we do look the other way...after all, this is their issue, not ours.

[PleasantValley]

We have absolutely NO BUSINESS meddling in how Venezuela does things.

We can not claim to be devoid of government corruption than anyone else.
All governments are corrupt at some level.
If the people want a change of regime, then THEY are the ones who need to affect that change.

Did we learn nothing from Iraq?

International partnerships are not evil.

And Chavez died when vs. the Obama sanctions? 2013/2015 Therefore the downturn precede the sanctions. As I said.

And Maduros money was Maduro's money.
