U.S. troops will have a limited role in Venezuela, Speaker Mike Johnson said Monday, after top deputies to President Donald Trump briefed senior congressional leaders on the weekend operation that removed leader Nicolas Maduro from power.
“We don’t expect troops on the ground,” Johnson told reporters after the two-hour evening briefing on Capitol Hill. “We don’t expect direct involvement in any other way beyond just coercing the … the interim government to get that going. I expect that there will be an election called in Venezuela. … It should happen in short order.”
Oh look, it’s Vietnam all over again. How long before the Administration manufactures evidence of an attack on a US Navy asset and uses that to justify “limited” operations on the ground?
See, their constituents didn’t pay attention in history, so they don’t even have to try new shit to get away with it.
I’m surprised he even gave an answer beyond ”i haven’t looked into it yet"
Funny how he expects people to believe him
I think we can now guarantee US troops will be in Venezuela. Johnson believes what he’s told without question, so he’s a convenient puppet for Trump.
