Any further proof one needs to know that this “colonizer” language is communist propaganda?

This is our opening. Think about it. Move troops down there in a provocative manner. Take every Venezuelan illegal and dump them off at the border. Make it look like an invasion.

Trump wanted Korea and Japan to pay for their US protection. With him in charge he could do the same for Guyana. Pay us back in oil. It would first have to get past all of the governments that put down us gringos out of convenience. Trump’s the man to do it.

Make all of Latin America contribute with a rotating contingent of troops. Watch Milei be the first to join in. The troops won’t have to stay very long.
