War looms in Venezuela. A gathering armada.
Send the Marines.
Since September American forces have repeatedly struck alleged drug-running boats. Now they are massing a formidable naval force in the Caribbean and threatening to bomb Venezuela.
The Trump administration has redefined drug gangs as terrorists rather than criminals in an effort to justify the use of military force against them.
America’s actions are strangely contradictory. If Venezuela is a terrorist state, why has the United States ended the “temporary protected status” of some 600,000 Venezuelan asylum-seekers and sent some back to the narco-jihadists?

The Gathering Storm is a BBC–HBO co-produced television biographical film about Winston Churchill in the years just prior to World War II.
The title of the film is that of the first volume of Churchill's largely autobiographical six-volume history of the war, which covered the period from 1919 to 3 September 1939, the day he became First Lord of the Admiralty.
Tillsammans för freden, Trump och Maria Corina Machado
