Why war on Venezuela? Epstein, Epstein, Epstein. WAG THE DOG.

Why a war?

Because the Epstein event horizon is rapidly approaching.

Even if the DOJ (Defenders of Jeffrey) lock up all they have in an ion trap, evidence will come out condemning TSF's complicity in the greatest sex and extortion scandal in history.

He is beyond desperate. This is his Ethiopia (If he didn't fail history, he sure didn't learn from it)

So, like the movie, what if he molested a troop of brownie scouts? Make a war.

Trump: We don't want to be the policemen of the world BY BRETT SAMUELS - 04/30/18

President Trump on Monday said the U.S. should no longer serve as the “policemen of the world.”

“We more and more are not wanting to be the policemen of the world,” Trump said during a joint press conference with Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari.

“We’re spending tremendous amounts of money for decades policing the world, and that shouldn’t be the priority,” he said.


Trump ran on the promise that he would extricate the U.S. from foreign wars.

NOW, WAR IS NEEDED TO TRY TO COVER UP HIS UTTER DEPRAVITY.

Which, when exposed will take down his entire empire and entourage, kings, heads of state, (ahem) judges, and others.

No ballroom or Arc De "Trumph" legacy.

Roger Ebert on "Wag the Dog" (mods are mine)

In the movie, a U.S. president is accused of luring an underage “Firefly Girl” into an anteroom of the Oval Office, and there presenting her with opportunities no Firefly Girl should anticipate from her commander in chief. A presidential election Deluge of Epstein Dirt is weeks away,

A month ago Nobel Prize winner Machado praises Trump’s Venezuela actions. Dumpy may think he'll finally get his own Nobel if he can get rid of Maduro and help Machado take control of Venezuela.

We're grateful for what Trump is doing for peace, Nobel winner tells BBC in October.

Everything he does stems from his inferiority complex. Erase everything Biden and Obama did, and scare everyone. Plus, dementia .

I think it's a mistake to view much of anything seriously fucked up that he does through the lens of "Epstein Distractions", as I've shared many times, probably with you more than once.

The "good news" is, launching wars is often a gambit to prop up the dictators sagging popularity, and it doesn't always work.

Clearly he's worried about SOMETHING related to Epstein, but I think it's a mistake to set the bar at "he was part and parcel of Epstein's giant pedo ring" such than anything LESS that emerges appears like failure. Hell, the "Epstein as head of powerful cabal of rich pedos" storyline is still not proven and is IMHO best viewed as a conspiracy theory until there's real evidence thereof.

I'll also say again that it's very possible there's other things he's done wrong related to Epstein besides sexually abuse minors himself (of which there remains zero publicly-available proof of, a sitch that will almost surely not change with Bondi in charge of the files). For example, there's good reason to think Epstein knew Trump was laundering Russian money through his FL properties. Maybe he tried to blackmail Epstein using his abuse of minors to keep him quiet?
