US military hits a target in Venezuela

If it wasn't for a brief comment by Donald Trump during a TV interview over the weekend, we would know nothing about a supposed US strike on a "big (drugs) facility in Venezuela". The Pentagon, Central Command, CIA etc are saying nothing. But Trump said it. How the strike was carried out, whether by an airstrike, a drone strike, a Tomahawk cruise missile strike, a special forces strike or a covert CIA sabotage strike, we just don't know. Even the government of Venezuela has said nothing which makes me wonder whether it has happened at all. Perhaps Trump has preempted it because he gave his authority for a strike and it hasn't actually happened yet. Whatever the case, it's obvious that Trump is now stepping up the pressure on Nicolas Maduro, the ghastly leader of Venezuela, to accept the offer to flee safely to some country that will take him. No doubt we will find out more in due course, but if there has been a land attack it will be the first time the US military has launched an attack on Venezuelan territory. Until now, the focus has been on vessels coming out of Venezuela loaded up with drugs and drugs smugglers. Watch out, Maduro! PLEASE BUY AND ENJOY MY NEW SPY THRILLER, AGENT REDRUTH.
