I've read that tens of thousands of Venezuelans have already trekked across the border into Columbia and smaller numbers have fled to Brazil.

The shortages of food and medicine are real enough.

A story was posted on a Columbian website saying a seven year old girl had starved to death in Maricaibo, Venezuela.

President Trump is facing a national security threat if the socialistic system continues in Venezuela.

Millions will move across borders with the strong possibility of the USA as an ultimate target.

It’s a full on dictatorship now. I don’t understand the motivation for threats about details. Madurai is beyond any legislative or electoral process. Nothing will change peacefully.

Two divisions. One Marine, and the 82nd. One carrier battle group. Two months and a new democracy is born, a message sent to Cuba, and Iranian influence erased from South America.

Why hasn’t President Trump asked Bernie Sanders to be a Special Ambassador to Venezuela to show them how Socialism is supposed to work?? Hell, why not send a few Million COllege Socialists to live in Utopia?

But his opponents say the congress will cement his “dictatorship”. On Tuesday... ................. Maybe the opposition should elect a separate president? Kinda like here. Venezuela could turn into another Spain circa 1936, I kinda see it coming.

On Tuesday a senior White House official said that "all options are on the table" if Venezuela goes ahead with the vote.

Wouldn't you love it if senior White House officials talked like that when warning democraps against voting to block the wall, or block the repeal of Obamacare, or block the travel ban, etc.? ... "The president is very concerned about the well being of the Venezuelan American people, and the incredible erosion of democracy right before our eyes, and ALL OPTIONS ARE ON THE TABLE unless the forces of dictatorship, aka the democrap party, backs off!," the official said.

How about we just stay out of it. Sometimes a country’s best and highest use is to act as a warning to others.

It is not mostly good Venezuelans crossing into Colombia. It is mostly black market smugglers and gangs and they are bringing worse crime to areas that previously seemed attractive to live in.

As long as Venezuela keeps its ideology within its borders - then I am more than happy to have a live-run example of socialist chaos, death and destruction for the whole world to view, real-time.

In fact, the world seems to need a constant reminder of the evils of socialism.

Communists are like roaches. Once they get in, there is only one way to get rid of them.

The destruction and terror Obama unleashed on the Middle East was just a distraction from his turning over Central and South America to the Chinese.

Venezuela cannot be allowed to become another North Korea for China.

I spend a lot of time in Colombia and the estimates are about 500,000 Venezuelans in Bogota alone. I’ve met many and most are from the former middle class. They wont be coming to the US. In S Florida the are many but most are US citizens.....that turned out heavily for Trump.
