Venezuela claims to have captured 'CIA backed cell plotting false flag attack' as tensions with US grow

Source: Independent.co.uk

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.

so this is all new to him. He thinks he's thought up all this novel stuff all by himself and is calling himself a Good Boy for doing so!

Trump must have known.

If he did know, and didn’t stop it, he should be impeached and removed.,

And if he didn’t know, then he should be impeached for not knowing. That’s incompetence.

The CIA doesn’t just kill Americans on a whim. That had to come from up top.

He was tied up bombing Haitians with drones for a while but I expect he is already hip deep in any mischief going on in Venezuela.
