VENEZUELA:Outages:8 /BOMBSHELL:P260/ IRAN:"ALL OPTIONS" IF US P357/TANKERS MEETING NAVY ESCORT AMID US "IMMINENT THREAT" VID P359

Trump is being set up by the Deep Swamp. Trump needs to stop listening to the Deep State swamp creatures Pompeo, Bolton and Pence. In fact, Trump should take the opportunity to fire the Neocon swamp creatures in his inner circle immediately before this gets any worse than it already has become. Trump should have never recognized Guaido, who anyone with half a brian knows is a Western Deep State asset. Maduro is in fact the duly elected President of Venezuela, whether the Neocons like it or not. This is going to turn into another Ukraine but it will be much worse because both China and Russia have heavy investments in Venezuela. The Venezuelan special forces are not a joke. The situation with the Diplomats could get out of hand rather quickly. Whoever advised Trump to recognize Guadio should be fired immediately but the damage is already done: Guaido doesn't stand a chance, the majority of actual Venezuelans support Maduro (much like the majority of Ukrainians supported Yanukovych and the majority of Syrians support Assad - all Deep State propaganda to the contrary). The Deep State laid a trap for Trump and he took the bait. From the Deep State's perspective, Trump is now in a lose-lose situation: if he backtracks from his initial support for Guaido, Trump will look foolish; if he doubles down even further on Guadio (who is a Team Obama/Never-Trump Deep State puppet) he will look foolish when Maduro crushes Guaido.

Trump fell into a classic Deep State trap and it is sad that most here on GLP didn't see it coming and can't recognize it now for what it is. Hopefully Trump gets better advice and fast!!

Maduro thugs will likely attack US diplomatic properties physically harming innocent Americans over the next few hours.

Trump must order full mobilization of US military to strike Venezuela with overwhelming military force,hard and fast.

I hope Trump is not being set up by dark forces at home here.

This situation on a slow burner risks getting out of control.Trump needs to act decisively fast.

Logistically this would prove Russia is back as a superpower, but Venezuela is a fair few miles further than Syria...

I don't know if they could do it at least with the same intensity it would require a large deployment and a lot of investment...

I'd be surprised if China doesn't make any moves (not necessarily invasion of Taiwan style) in the China Seas.

#Russia's response is the key here, as it considers to establish a base in #Venezuela. Would Putin save Maduro as he saved Assad?

Russia has problems getting to Syria, either naval or air. They still manage it, though. They just don't have the political support I guess.

With regards to China, I hear they are accepting payment for Venezeulan loans in oil. Not sure how all this is going to work out, but BRING ME THE POPCORN.

I get what you're saying, and I mostly agree. But Maduro is more a fool than even Trump. Trump is smart in subtle ways, but he just doesn't come across as being all that intelligent, IMHO.

> the majority of actual Venezuelans support Maduro

I doubt it...

Maduro isn't stupid and, yes, Trump is being set up regarding Venezuela by the Deep State that hates him, including those within his inner circle (Pence, Bolton, Pompeo, etc.)

Maduro will most likely detain the diplomats if they don't leave. This will be for their own protection as there is a good chance a false flag operation is in the works to create a Benghazi-like scenario to blame on Maduro (and by extension Trump, who is currently being set up by the Deep State regarding Venezuela). The last person who will want these diplomats harmed is Maduro, as it will invite his own demise.

You doubt it because you believe the reporting and proclamations of the same Deep State which gave us the Arab Spring and the Maidan.

I repeat: Trump is being set up.

it'll just be a total replay of The Cuban Missile Crisis.
maybe it'll have a different outcome this time?

:omnomnom:

In reality the most likely response would be sanctions and diplomatic pressure if the US ambassadors are detained, Trump beating his chest and saying we will kick you stupid if you try anything is likely to be said as more of a deterrent than a actual weighted threat...

Sometimes you don't need a bulle1t in chamber to make someone shit themselves...

But this has a lot of potential to go very bad and quickly, I can't see 500,000 troops deploying but most likely Air strikes and Missile strikes, if it was to kick off.

I think if it came to that (which I don't think it would) then Russia would concede on this one given the fact it's logistically impractical for Russia to do something meaningful, however if expect to see something big in return within Russia's region of projection, a real ballsy statement like more support to Iran, China, Syria, Turkey European theatre (Balkans) maybe even more assertive acts in the polar region.

The reason the diplomats will be detained if they don't leave would be to guarantee their security, given that there are most likely anti-Trump Deep State Mercs already in Venezuela for the purpose of false flag operations. Just think of the chaos during the Ukrainian Maidan. Of course, in that case it was Obama's US Diplomats who were directing the coup against the real President of Ukraine.

Russia and China have billions invested in Venezuela. Those agreements were made with Chavez and Maduro who were both duly elected, not with a Western Deep State unelected puppet like Guaido.

I would not like to be one of the US ambassadors right now.

That's why we wouldn't see Russia and China just say yeah ok bud you carry on...

It's why we can expect arming, training and deployments and political actions different areas of the globe, that Russia can get to and support, at the moment Venezuela would be stretching supply lines way too thin, it would require a large deployment to support it, something Russia can not do at this moment in time outside of its region.

Cuban, Chinese and Russian intelligence services have been in Venezuela for a long time. And Russia and China have regular military flights into Venezuela. I'm sure the moment Putin saw Obama violently overthrow Ukraine, he started thinking about an eventual Neocon Coup in Venezuela.

I concur! As long as there are no American boots other than Spec Ops to instruct the counter resistance.

Without a doubt...

But to the extent that people are talking about interventions and so forth, its not possible for Russia to mount any sort of support at the same level it does in Syria...

It would require a large deployment, taskforce mobilization as it's a very long way from home, so to sustain and secure a line for resupply Russia would have to effectively go all in, but they would then be committed, these are lessons learnt from 79, from Georgia and recently Syria...

It would put Russia at the disadvantage if it provided military support, however elsewhere it would be possible for Russia to stir the pot for the US.

Worked wonders in Syria

We don't know the level of Russian and Chinese military assets presently in Venezuela or the commitments Russia and China have made to Maduro. What we do know is that Russia and China are not going to recognize an unelected usurper like Guaido. We also know that the Russians are Chinese are long-term planners and the Neocons, like drug addicts, think only in the short-term.
