President Obama Officially Declares Venezuela a Threat to ‘US National Security’

21st Century Wire says…
Quietly and with little fanfare in the global press, Washington DC has added Venezuela to its growing list of countries it has declared war on.
On Monday, the Obama Administration issued its first set of new sanctions on Venezuela targeting of seven specific Venezuelan officials, freezing their U. S. assets and banning them from traveling to the US.
Neighboring Cuba has announced they will support Venezuela in this latest diplomatic row with Washington, a counter-move which may adversely effect President Obama’s recent policy ofdtente towards the Castro government in Havana.
Only three weeks ago, an attempted coup d’tat took place in Venezuela. It is the third failed US-backed coup attempt in the last 25 years.
21WIRE also posted a timeline of the western-backed coup. as well as details of both Canadian and British involvement in the operation alongside of the US.
