U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton announced on Thursday a new round of sanctions against Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua. During his speech at Freedom Tower in Miami, Florida, Bolton declared that the “Troika of Tyranny” would fall with support from the Trump administration.

Bolton specifically announced new sanctions on Venezuela’s oil industry and executive measures to prevent Americans from doing business with the Cuban military regime, which controls most of the Cuban economy, including its tourism sector.

“I am here to deliver a clear message from the president … to those three regimes,” Bolton said. “We will not reward torturers, murderers, and abusers.”

Venezuela and Cuba also share ties to other rogue states, such as Iran, jeopardizing American interests in the hemisphere. A 2014 report by the Secure Free Society revealed that Cuba and Venezuela conspired to offer legal documents – passports, visas, and permits – to mostly Shiite migrants from the Middle East believed to have ties to Hezbollah, Iran’s proxy terrorist organization. Spanish journalist Emili J. Blasco revealed in his book Boomerang Chávez that while in a meeting dictator Bashar al-Assad facilitated, Maduro assured leader Hassan Nasrallah that he would help Hezbollah.

When I read the thread title, I was hoping he meant Schumer, Schiff & Pelosi, ha.

After Nikki Haley and McCain’s departures, maybe he’s losing interest in false flagging Assad and Russia.

Interesting that that was the last paragraph, huh? Bury the lede much?

Bolton was an excellent pick!

Russia is all over Venezuela and Nicaragua. So are the Iranians.

That should win some votes for Republicans but the corrupt Miami media will find a way to put a negative spin on it.

Russia is all over Venezuela and Nicaragua. So are the Iranians.

(1) Any proof concerning Russia being “all over” these countries? (2) I concede that Bolton is far better than his Democrat predecessor.

[Moonman62]

In a way he’s confirming what the Democrats have always said, that socialism has never been done right.

Being devil’s advocate, my first thought is that they’ll say this is a cynical attempt to win the Cuban-American vote.

Sanctions are a good idea. But our military forces should also mount a few nukes for them, just in case they make a wrong move.

Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua could see a real estate boom, if people from the U.S.A. owned all of the land and resources in those three countries.

Notice which Marxist nation is not on this list: North Korea.

That means there’s forward motion w/ NK — and a little reinforcement by showing the Norks that they could be on this list.
