BREAKING: Senator Chris Murphy pulls back the curtain on Trump's "insane" plans for Venezuela after a classified briefing — and it's so much worse than we thought. Every American has a right to know this... "I just came from the administration briefing on Venezuela," Murphy said in a video posted to X. "Obviously, I can't talk to you about the details they shared with us on the operation itself, but they did talk about their plan moving forward to run Venezuela, and it's insane. They are essentially asking you, the American public, to use your taxpayer dollars to run the country of Venezuela." Trumped promised to put America first. Instead, he's violating international law and kidnapping foreign leaders in order to shovel even more profits to oil companies as average Americans sink deeper into economic suffering. "It will be an enormous distraction from everything that matters, because Venezuela has never posed a direct threat to the United States, and it threatens to repeat almost all of the mistakes we made in Iraq and Afghanistan," Murphy continued. "So let me tell you what I learned, and I can share this with you, because the administration has been talking about this publicly as well," he said. "The bottom line is that the administration is planning to take Venezuelan oil indefinitely and sell it on the secondary market, use that money to run the Venezuelan economy." "The Venezuelan people don't get to say, we're going to sell that oil, we're going to get that money, and then the United States of America is going to decide who gets paid and who doesn't get paid inside Venezuela," Murphy explained. "We're going to micromanage Venezuela, and we're going to use your taxpayer dollars to do it, because this is going to be a multi-billion dollar effort, which is going to take money, your money, but also enormous time. Donald Trump, the White House, everybody there is going to be spending just as much time running Venezuela as they are running America." Outside of the abject immorality of this kind of piracy, this plan does a grave disservice to the American people who deserve to have their needs prioritized over those of massive corporations. Once again, we see Trump bending over backwards to help the oligarchs at our expense. "That's terrible news for you, for the American taxpayer, because there's huge problems here at home," said Murphy. "Healthcare premiums going up, prices going up, and now the United States government is going to be spending most of its time on many days running the country of Venezuela. Why is it also bad news? Because we've seen this play before." "When the United States tries to impose a political reality at gunpoint on a foreign country, it never goes well," he continued. "Okay, this is a little different than Iraq and Afghanistan, because for now we don't have 100,000 troops on the ground in Venezuela, but it's the same principle. The United States military using its power to try to change a political reality on the ground in a country that we don't understand, it won't go well." "Another reason why you should care, there's going to be a lot of problems that get greased here, because now we are in charge of the Venezuelan oil industry, essentially," he went on. "And guess what? It's going to be Donald Trump's energy industry and Wall Street friends who are going to get rich off of that. So there is corruption, there is a failure to learn lessons, and there is going to be an enormous amount of time, money, and energy spent on the country of Venezuela instead of the country of the United States of America." "Donald Trump lied to you when he told you if you elected him, he was going to keep us out of foreign wars, and he was going to focus on costs. He's doing exactly the opposite. He is getting us into another foreign entanglement involving the United States military, and he's doing nothing about the things that matter to you, like costs," Murphy concluded. Please
