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.
Been watching the situation in Venezuela very closely for years.
The opposition uses non-violent pressure and the regime uses targeted arrests and tear gas, beatings etc. to get its way.
The government controlled police and thugs called “collectives” do the dirty work.
The army has been off to the side but with Cuban advisors and political indoctrination in its ranks. Officers reassigned and retired etc. etc.
One of the three questions in the referendum last Sunday involved asking the Venezuelan army to defend democracy.
I would rather see the Venezuelan people and or military nudged towards action on their own than USA military intervention.
“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.”
F*** that. No more nation building. Kill his ass and leave.
Wish them the very best of luck.
