Trump has declined to rule out sending U.S. troops into Venezuela, but
his own team says he’s all talk. NOT FOOLING ANYONE
Mexico and Colombia, too, were singled out, with Trump name-checking
them for possible ground invasions.
However, the same publication (Politico) has now interviewed six
Republican lawmakers, Pentagon officials, and White House advisers who
have all but admitted that Trump’s words are empty threats.
His statements are “a designed strategy to pressure Maduro to leave,”
said one White House insider, while others dismissed Trump’s threat of involvement in Mexico or Colombia.

After all he did escape military service with his ‘little boner spur’ excuse.
Big American oil companies want in on Venezuelan oil leases. The only
problem for them is Maduro is in the way. Trump is hoping the Venezuelan opposition will take the opportunity and overthrow the government.
To end the story, Trump will get personally rewarded with oil money. He
only does this to expand his bank account, using the military for
personal gain.
