Whenever the usual suspects start wailing about “somebody! do something!” they mean the US must handle it.

And then, of course, it will be their (the wailers) own duty to undermine, undercut, impede, interfere with, back stab and demean anything the US does in answer to their wails.

Venezuela’s situation is obviously the work of greedy, exploitative capitalist pigs. I was told that with socialism, everyone would be happy to have their daily ration from the government while they sit on their asses and be free-spirited artists and musicians.

We are not keeper of the whole world. The only thing that Venezuela does with us is sell us oil.

If we expand the Alaskan fields, build the pipeline from Canada, and start to use out own oil, their problem would have nothing to do with us. We have been getting to involved with other country’s problems and trying to fix it by throwing money at it.

Cut them off, and make them figure it out themselves.

Allende, martyr/hero of the Democrats, did the same thing to Argentina.
Took Pinochet to bring food back...
