The US has attacked multiple Venezuelan boats in recent weeks, with US officials saying the goal of the strikes is regime change in Venezuela as opposed to the war on drugs. Along with the airstrikes of boats, a US destroyer boarded and seized a Venezuelan boat in mid-September, which the Venezuelan government insists was a tuna fishing vessel.

Remember, it's all projection. They know what they're doing.

Since around 2001 or so. Before that it was communist.

When the war on drugs imperialist excuse starts losing its luster so you mix it with the war on terror excuse.

Will the good honest EU diplomats ever call out these blatant acts of terrorism by the US.

I'm gonna bet money on a Venezuela-USA war within the next 3 years

I hope not. I also see that one of the few smart things Maduro has done recently is to not give the USA an excuse to attack Venezuela.

It feels similar to what happened in the first Trump administration against Iran.
