“Venezuela's Guaido leads military uprising to oust Maduro
“Opposition leader says troops have joined him to end 'usurpation'”
Imagine trying to overthrow your country’s elected government at the behest of John Bolton?
If anyone in the United States pulled a stunt like that - and, remember, the US is loaded with armed extremist loons like militias and survivalists and Aryan churches - they would be stormed by federal agents and soldiers and either dragged away to prison in chains or shot.
I am not exaggerating in the least. He would be charged with treason, and I think we all know, from our memories of how the United States has treated prisoners at Guantanamo what kind of treatment he would receive in prison for treason.
But the same United States thinks all this is fine when it comes to other places. So much so, they encourage and materially support it.
Utter contempt for rule of law and blind belief that American laws should overrule everything else everywhere.
So, what are you doing today, Ms. Freeland (Canada’s Foreign Minister), to assist the charming Mr. Bolton?
