Like the Cubans of the 60s who made it to freedom, the V’s who are here today are the most anti-socialist you will find.

I have wondered if what that country needs is bitcoin...

Hear this out: a stable decentralized currency like crypto currency bitcoin with absolute ownership and impossible to control, stop or tax (until they confiscate snmart phones) .

It would establish ownership of wealth, a vehicle for exchange, and as long as local currency is not used it would starve the tyranny of money of any sort. The government would have to either go full North Korea or collapse.

--( "if Trump wins" )--my cynical take is that this election the Democraps will manage to steal enough of the big states this fall , along with the Bush-type RINO's voting for Hildabeast that they get both the senate and the house and then it's over---

--we will then be too far along the road to a Mexico-Brazil type nation to ever recover--

He's apparently unavailable for comment.

This is what comes from policies and programs now favored by everyone of consequence in the Democrat Party - and a significant number of those in the Republican Party.

Alan Greenspan has said that Venezuela is America’s future...

Venezuela may resort to war and theft, just like other failing dictatorships do

Dutch Caribbean Islands Auba, Bonaire, Curacao lie just off the coast and have no military forces to speak of

Maduro may make a grab for them and loot to prop up regime

If the snowflakes coming out of our public school systems are any indication, we are done.

70-8% of the populous taking up arm and overthrowing an oppressive, Socialist form of govt is not a Coup.

I would call that seeking freedom.

Sounds very similar to what we will have to do if Cankles gets elected.

All the more reason for Trump to select a clone of himself as vice president nominee. No more GHW Bushes.

More likely the US may use them as a staging point for operations to stabilize Venezuela if things REALLY go south there. They already have had US troops.

Is the electricity still iffy there or has it rained enough there to get that lake up enough to run the hydro-plants.

A failed state in the Americas with millions of desperate people, means yet greater waves of “huddled masses yearning to breathe free” battering our southern borders.

Nothing is just “out there” anymore.
