Portraying the people of Venezuela as drowning while the CIA ignores them is a curious choice for sharing an article about an attempt to kidnap the current dictator of Venezuela that started during Biden's presidency.
You're conveniently ignoring all of the Venezuelans they've murdered while claiming they were drug trafficking gang members without any evidence to back that claim up.
Two wrongs don't make a right. You don't have to support Venezuelan dictators or communism in order to acknowledge those are human beings they're killing with zero justification or due process.
Not to justify Biden doing plenty of shady shit, but in terms of when the operation began, are you sure about that?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Gideon_(2020)
That's not the same operation. From your own fucking source in the OP:
According to 3 officials who are now under the control of the Trump administration, this agent began this operation under Biden. Then even after he retired the CIA agent continued the operation? Which sounds pretty similar to the men involved in Operation Gideon.
I'm not denying Biden may have continued what Trump started, but Operation Gideon, the poorly planned and executed first attempt to overthrow Maduro began under Trump in 2020.
Not sure if you're trying to defend what Trump is currently doing or just calling out Biden for also doing shady regime change shit? Either way, it seems like mostly a distraction from the point, which is that it seems ridiculous to use the old standby "they're a threat to global democracy." When democracy is under attack in the United States.
It would have made much more sense to link to that instead, if that was your argument.
?? After the first boat they obliterated in international waters, they vehemently denied they were trying to force a regime change. Then they just keep murdering Venezuelans in international waters. Even though it was obvious, this story seems like pretty undeniable evidence they completely lied about what they were actually doing.
I'm really not seeing how the long-standing US opposition to Venezuela proves anything about Trump's current spate of murders of Venezuelans in international waters.
It's apparent that Trump craves a war, or something similar to feed his bloodthirsty braindead base, by his actions against Venezuelan civilians. "The US targeted the dictator of Venezuela under a plan concocted under the Biden administration!" is much less compelling as an argument for Trump's motivations.
Guess who was president in May of 2020
... again, that's not the same operation that's referenced in your link in the OP.
