"Covert" is in quotes cause Trump just admitted to it.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-confirms-authorized-cia-action-venezuela-rcna237880

The CIAs operations abroad are usually shrouded in secrecy, but President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he had authorized the spy agency to take unspecified action in Venezuela, an extraordinary and unprecedented acknowledgement from a commander in chief.

Why did you authorize the CIA to go into Venezuela? a reporter asked Trump at the White House.

I authorized for two reasons, really, Trump said. Number one, they have emptied their prisons into the United States of America."

The second reason, the president said, was narcotics trafficking.

And the other thing are drugs. We have a lot of drugs coming in from Venezuela, Trump said.

The presidents highly unusual remarks about his orders to the CIA came only hours after The New York Times reported that the Trump administration had authorized the CIA to carry out covert, lethal action in Venezuela.

Asked if the Central Intelligence Agency had authority to take out the president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, Trump said: Oh, I dont want to answer a question like that. Thats a ridiculous question for me to be given. Not really a ridiculous question, but wouldnt it be a ridiculous question for me to answer?

Imagine if Obama blabbered about the Bin Laden raid?

Well, there was already one attempt made on his life.

Wonder if they'll get him, unlike they did with Fidel Castro.

I'm assuming the world starts getting blurry for you about a millimeter past the surface of your eye.

Because this is short-sighted as FUCK.

I guarantee you they've been doing sabotage operations in Venezuela for decades. Trump is just a moron who admits it out loud (he's also gearing up for a full-on invasion of the country)

He wants to start a war with a left country with high immigration to the US so he can say he's a war time president and crack down even harder on civil liberties and say even more that immigrants are invaders. This has the potential to be real bad.
