Trump's failure to start a civil war in Venezuela could be proved disastrous for the plans of the US imperialists
by
system failure
Donald
Trump and his bloodthirsty warhawks are about to break the record of
failed attempted coups against a single country. Concerning Latin
America, the US imperialists were setting the desirable conditions
for their corporate beasts usually by overthrowing governments and
supporting military dictatorships.
But
Trump himself has already broken another record. The record of not
keeping his promises to the American people - every one of them. The
'anti-interventionist', 'anti-establishment' Trump, has already
started a war against Venezuela, which so far includes brutal
economic sanctions, sabotage operations, attempted coups. Trump not
only does whatever he can in order to satisfy the US
neocon/neoliberal establishment and the deep state, but especially in
the case of Venezuela, he follows the obsolete CIA playbook to the
letter.
So,
after a series of failed orchestrated coups, Trump's warhawks
attempted to start a civil war in Venezuela by mobilizing both of
their puppets, Juan Guaido and Leopoldo Lopez. This latest attempt
failed again miserably as the Venezuelan military generals and the
vast majority of the military have
pledged their loyalty to Maduro, one more time.
So,
'naturally', the only option left for the US imperialists is a
military invasion against Venezuela. The typical sequence followed in
these cases.
However,
it appears that this latest option will come with a very heavy cost,
which the US imperialists and their Western allies can't handle.
First of
all, Trump may lose the opportunity for a second term. A number of
Trump's supporters already express their disappointment, as they see
that the US president has failed to fulfill his promises. That is,
create jobs, prevent mass layoffs, reduce taxes for the middle class.
If he follows the warhawks into another disastrous invasion -
especially against a country that by no means poses a threat to the
US - instead of focusing on the enormous problems of the US middle
class, he will likely see his popularity dropping rapidly.
This
will force the US deep state to accelerate plans for a second
invasion against Iran, because Trump's warmongering cabinet may not
be there under another president after 2020. Yet, this would be a
complete madness. The wounded US beast can't handle two major wars in
different continents thousands of miles away, even if the
Sino-Russian bloc remain neutral, which is almost impossible.
But even
if Trump manage to survive and win a second term, the war against
Venezuela will not be a piece of cake. It is not just the military
supporting Maduro. Millions of Chavistas across the country are ready
to take the arms in order to defend the Revolution and their country
from a US imperialist invasion. It will be almost impossible for the
neocons to focus on Iran with the Venezuela front open, causing heavy
loses in lives and money. Not to mention of course the reaction of
the Russians and the Chinese.
An
alternative option for the moment would be a proxy war against
Venezuela. It could be organized by the CIA, using a mixture of
mercenaries
and US puppet governments like the ones in Brazil and Colombia.
Still,
with the support of the military and millions of Chavistas inside the
country, as well as, the support of Russia and China, Maduro would
likely win again.
It is
perfectly understandable why the US imperialist warhawks are pushing
so hard for regime change in Venezuela. They are running out of time
and they are very far behind the schedule.
But the
neocon/neoliberal establishment has one more reason to be nervous: a
possible big surprise in the 2020 US election, with an 'undesirable'
person as the next US president that will destroy its plans for good.
Don't tell the Trumpian right or Drudge. Here's a sampling of their bold headlines right now:

They live in their own imaginary world.
Deletemaybe endless confusion, disorder and chaos is the aim? Winning' is nice, but unneccessary, The effect on the US middle class is irrelevant to those benefitting from the chaos. Order takes energy, chaos saps opponents energy. I haven't looked, but I bet there is order and security wherever the oil is shipped from!

Headlines like this cause massive cognitive
dissonance among the sheep on the streets

helplessness you see are unsurprising...
