She’s already said she’s going after banks. It is sickening that a socialist, and a stupid one at that, will head the finance committee. It’s horrifying.

Reminds me of that one eyed Omar in Afghanistan, Mullah Mohammad Omar, robbed a bank of seven million— US money of course—and has never been seen or heard from again.

Yes, if it were before May 26, 1966. That said, I’m sure that members of the RCN would not be against a patrol in South America during a Canadian winter, in support of a fellow Commonwealth country.

It’s open extortion.

She is telling the banks “Come grovel before me and bring your check books. My re-election campaign war chest is in need of replenishment”.

My limited contact with Venezuelans who have left to go to Chile is that they are honorable, responsible, and respected by the locals.

He’s either buried out in the desert somewhere and his buddies have the money or he’s running a bodega in Brooklyn.

The Darian Gap in Panama allows only the hardiest of the South American foot traffic riff-raff from making it any farther north.

Why should Maduro care about more oil reserves.

He cannot manage Venezuela's number one in oil reserves by country. Screwing up more oil fields won't help his country any more than the Billions of barrels his "Bolivian Revolution" regime has already ruined.

Oh wait.

International Socialist's motto is:

""We get it right... THIS TIME"”

So which of these are ordered to attack a US ship first, or will the Iranians serve up the first shot?

Either way, we need to lift strict rules of engagement when in hostile waters.

My friend lives in Cota Colombia and she says there are many coming from Venezuela. She says they are bringing crime to the smaller villages and towns. That is saying a lot when people in Colombia are complaining about criminals.

Most Americans are unaware, and too disconnected to follow the posturing near our doorstep, by nearly all of those we would give the title enemy.

Russia has maintained anywhere from 2-24 TU-160’s, with nuclear cruise missiles, the nuclear powered Peter the Great battleship and it’s Russian Naval task force, which commonly travels with 3-5 (and up to 7) nuclear subs, and multiple brigades of Spetsnaz in Venezuela.

Moscow also maintains arguably one of it’s most strategic ground stations for SIGINT and ELINT, as well as multiple brigades of spetsnaz on rotation in Nicaragua. This was one of the outcomes the Reagan Administration was successful in keeping out of our neighborhood.

The amount of nuclear weapons Moscow has proximal to North America, makes what happened in Cuba look like “boot camp”.

Venezuela is crashing and and desperate. Maybe they’re thinking a war will fix it.
