Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro said the talks had a 'peaceful agenda,' but national security adviser John Bolton said 'his exit' was 'the only real solution.'

The Venezuelan government and opposition have entered into talks in hopes of finding a settlement to the country's four-month political crisis, but White House national security adviser John Bolton has continued firing away against the socialist leadership no longer recognized by the United States.

"Maduro continues to fear the voice of the people, has been blocking access to the internet for weeks, and seeks to undermine the democratically-elected voices in Venezuela," Bolton tweeted Wednesday. "Maduro is desperate to distract from the only real solution in Venezuela: his exit." "Maduro continues to care more about stealing wealth than the Venezuelan people. We will continue alerting financial institutions of Maduro’s ongoing illicit schemes to evade sanctions and maintain his grip on power, including the diversion of humanitarian assistance," Bolton wrote Tuesday on Twitter.

Norway, too, acknowledged the first steps of potential dialogue between the rival factions on Friday. The U.S. has claimed that Guaidó has earned the support of at least 50 countries, including most of Latin America, the European Union, Albania, Australia, Canada, Georgia, Israel, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. At the same time, Maduro had the backing of fellow Latin American leftist-led Bolivia, Cuba, Mexico, Nicaragua and Uruguay in addition to others abroad such as Belarus, Cambodia, China, Iran, Lebanon, North Korea, Serbia, South Africa, Syria, Turkey and the U.N.

For a guy who avoided service in Vietnam by joining the NG instead of risking being drafted, he sure likes war. From a guy that’s served in two of them, Vietnam and Gulf War, they are not fun and should never be the first option.

Bolton certainly is a war monger

Bleeding John Bolton Stumbles Into Capitol Building Claiming That Iran Shot HimWASHINGTON—Bursting through the Congressional chamber doors while moaning and clutching his shoulder, John Bolton reportedly stumbled into the Capitol building Friday claiming that he’d been shot by Iran. “Help, help, I’ve just been attacked by a large Middle Eastern country around 636,000 square miles in size,” said the national security advisor, telling those assembled that he’d just been minding his own business when an aggressive Islamic Republic had thrown him on the ground and shot him with a long-range missile. “Right after Iran shot me, I heard the nation laugh and say ‘Somebody stop me before I go on a homicidal rampage.’ It was acting crazed and irrational, and I could smell enriched uranium coming from one of its urban centers. Please, hurry, if we move quickly, we might still be able to catch it before it’s too late.” Upon further questioning, Bolton admitted that the incident had happened so fast that it was possible he’d been attacked by Venezuela or North Korea.

Sen. Van Hollen: John Bolton is ‘a skilled bureaucratic inside fighter’Sen. Van Hollen discusses a letter he sent to President Trump, and why Congress needs to be briefed on the growing tensions with Iran: 'It's outrageous that we've gotten this far down the road without a briefing from the executive branch.' I'm beginning to think that instead of sending letters to Trump, members of Congress should send him Tweets. That's one form of communication he always seems to respond to. Maybe the only one... Obama did the same with Syria and Libya and Congress, the media and the left just seat and did nothing to stop this false flag war.
