[ Ed. note – According to CIA Director Mike Pompeo, America must be vigilant; Iran, Hezbollah, and the Russians are all up to nefarious doings in Venezuela. As I reported a couple of days ago, Trump said he would not rule out a “military option” for Venezuela, and now it sounds like Pompeo may be trying to build justification for a US intervention.
“Venezuela could very much become a risk for the United States of America,” he claims. “The Cubans are there; the Russians are there, the Iranians, Hezbollah are there. This is something that has a risk of getting to a very very bad place, so America needs to take this very seriously.”
Pompeo seems to be spouting poppycock, but perhaps the regime change operation in Venezuela isn’t going as smoothly as planned.]

Pompeo appeared on Fox News Sunday where he responded to comments made by President Donald Trump on Friday, in which he said there was “a possible military option” for Venezuela.
The world is watching and there will be no military intervention in Venezuela .The Americans will continue their covert operation through their NGOs , all with phony democracy improvement names , but no military intervention.
I think you’re probably right on that. At the same time, with the lunatics who have control of the US government, I wouldn’t venture to say it should entirely be ruled out.
You’re looking through the wrong end of the telescope lads.
Pompeo is laying the groundwork for heavier sanctions/greater involvement in Iran, Lebanon, Syria, (Russia), and Cuba.
Venezuela just happens to be a useful excuse to keep the ME in his war game.
Either that or he actually thinks Venezuela is in the Levant…
It kind of gives a whole new meaning to the term, “the exceptional nation.”
