Trump says US 'hit' dock in Venezuela, marking first known land attack

President Donald Trump said that the United States "knocked out" a "big facility" in Venezuela last week.

“Well, it doesn’t matter, but there was a major explosion in the dock area where they load the boats up with drugs,” Trump responded. “They load the boats up with drugs. So we hit all the boats and now we hit the area. It’s the implementation area. That’s where they implement. And that is no longer around.”

    The ~1 million Venezuelans already in the US are the reason that it is attempting to deport and terrorize as many as possible. Ethnic cleansing is actually part of the neo-Monroe doctrine, they need to get the immigrants from the neocolonies out of the imperial core to recreate that geographic and cultural distance. These feed into each other too, because a war would also be used as justification for deportations and internement camps - and resistance to deportations and internement camps would be used as justification for war.
