American President Donald Trump’s recent threat to use US military force against Venezuela follows previous attempts by Washington to place one of its many Venezuelan puppets in charge of the oil-rich Latin American nation. In a semi-incoherent statement made on August 11, 2017, at his Bedminster, New Jersey country club, Trump said, «This [Venezuela] is our neighbor... You know, we are all over the world and we have troops all over the world in places that are very, very far away. Venezuela is not very far away and the people are suffering, and they are dying. We have many options for Venezuela, including a possible military option if necessary».
