Because it worked out so well the last time…
Venezuela claims to have foiled a CIA-financed cell plotting a false-flag attack on an American warship, in what the government alleges is a cynical ploy to spark a ‘full military confrontation’.
Interior minister Diosdado Cabello said that a cell ‘financed by the CIA’ planned to attack the USS Gravely and pin the blame on Caracas, after the missile destroyer docked in Trinidad and Tobago on Sunday to conduct joint exercises with Trinidad’s navy.
Venezuela said that it had captured a group of mercenaries “with direct information of the American intelligence agency” and whose goal it was to carry out a false-flag attack in the region. Cabello said four people had been arrested, without providing details.
True? No idea. Maduro is a liar too. But let’s just say it wouldn’t surprise me. Trump publicly announced that he had approved “covert” CIA action in Venezuela so what should we expect?
This thing is going to go so sideways…
