Media reports are that the American President is preparing to order American atatcks against a South Hampshire nation’s military without authrization from Congress or anybody else?
Is this a luff for regime change or just a plain effort to start a ‘fight for his so called Dept. of War?

The US is prepared to launch strikes on Venezuelan military bases as President Trump ramps up the pressure on the country’s narcoterrorist dictator, Nicolas Maduro, as the administration works to cut off the regime’s drug and criminal operations, The Post has learned.
