And so, it begins. The Peace President™ has launched his war on Venezuela. Canada needs to wake the eff up. What is stopping Trump from doing to Canada what he is doing to Venezuela tonight?
Tonight, we did not see any response from Venezuelan air defenses. NOTHING. Chinook and Black Hawk helicopters as well as Apache flew over Caracas unmolested despite Venezuela having S-300 air defenses and MANPADS. Canada would be even worse off. We have no advanced air defense systems comparable to the S-300. How many shoulders mounted MANPADS do we have to down the helicopters?
Do we have anything to stop Black Hawk helicopters from making the short flight from Fort Drum Army Air Base in Waterdown NY to Ottawa (20 minutes?) where American special forces could seize the parliament building and capture Mark Carney and install US puppet Kevin O'Leary? (I'm not joking). Of course, this is something we should have thought about long ago. Too late now as we recognize we are living next door to a lawless rogue nation ruled by a gangster.
EDIT: Now being reported that Maduro and his wife have been captured and flown out of the country. This is a stunning victory for Trump that will only embolden him. I expect Cuba will be next and then Columbia and then Greenland and then (I shudder to think).
