Statement on Trumps attack on Venezuela

DH

Donald Trump

Trump's completely unjustified attack on the sovereign nation of Venezuela, is a blatant act of criminality by every known measure of law. 

There is no justification for effecting a forceful regime change of any nation state.

Trump recently pardoned convicted Narco-dictator, Juan Orlando Hernandez, so a war on drugs is no valid justification.

Like many other independent nations in Trumps crosshairs, Venezuela has massive natural resources, and it is plainly clear, this is just the beginning of a global takeover crusade for his co belligerents, which includes billionaires, dictators, and Putin.

This is not for the good of any common person, or race. It is so total control can be exserted on every aspect of life, removing all freedoms, and deciding who suffers, who thrives, who lives, who dies. 

The evidence is there, in front of your eyes, in fact these people have been telling you their plans for conquest openly. 

A hostile takeover of the UK and Europe is also in Trumps and Putin's plan, in fact we are already years into this. 

The UK is a sovereign nation, and when foreign powers plot to weaken and overthrow us, they should not be welcomed, supported, endorsed, or honoured.

A key objective of Brexit was to stop the UK supporting a wider European combined army, a defensive army that would have been among of the worlds most effective. Brexit has substantially weakened the UK and Europe. 

Apologist views for foreign forces weakening our country should no longer be acceptable. 

Those naïve people in the UK staging protests, putting up flags, and creating division are in actuality just ‘useful idiots’ for those planning to weaken and overthrow a democratic UK. 

It’s time to wake up, and decide if you want to be at war, or at peace. 

A time to come together, or attack each other. 

A time to hate each other, or try to understand each other. 

It’s time to look at the actual problems which affect people, not the perceived ones.
