This is no longer a domestic crisis.
There are countless Venezuelans walking into Colombia and Brazil. They are naturally putting pressure on social services and creating a backlash from the locals. The number is over 2 million, according to Castañeda.
You know what Democrats and the MSM will do if Trump intervenes in Venezuela. Venezuela is of course a paradise, and everyone there is happy. It’s all about stealing oil, appeasing Israel, or empire building. America is always evil when a Republican in president.
So a bunch of Marine privates, corporals, sergeants and lieutenants are about to win medals of honor and navy crosses?
It’s like concentration camp prisoners praying for the bombs to rain down that would kill their captors, their own lives at that point not even an issue.
Make your own country Great Again.
Sorry, we don't do those types of jobs any more. I can recommend you "Jean-Claude Juncker Handyman Services" or maybe "Xi Jinping Plumbing and Heating" for all of your maintenance needs. :)
Right. Let the effers for and be an example to the world on Why socialism is evil. No more shedding our blood. Even 2hen our young hero’s shed their blood, a lib politician will come in and undo their victories.
If Venezuela is so bad - take out Maduro yourselves.
Part of the reason so many Latin countries are failed states - caudillo culture expects the big man to run the show and take care of problems, leaving the rest of us free to complain.
Self-Responsibility is a very liberating thing.
These exiles should have fought for their country instead of whining about the US doing it for them. They’ve been doing this for almost 20 years now.
The same goes for Cuban exiles. They took the easy way out. Castro conquered Cuba with 100 men in a boat called Granma.
Dont get involved. Its not our problem.
And “caudillo” and “alcalde” each has its roots in “caliph”. A product of the Muslim conquest of Hispania .
They can remove him themselves. They can ask their neighbors for help.
Not one dime or one American life at risk for these people who have fouled their own nest with their greed.
The socialist says: "We're going to raise taxes, nationalize industries, etc."
What it means? "All rights exist at the whim of the state." Thus the world they suffer through. If there are no property rights, there's no prosperity.
Property rights are the canary in the mine.
I don't think they've figured it out. Give them awhile.
I have some friends from Venezuela who left when Chavez came into power. They saw what was coming and got the hell out of there. They became naturalized American citizens and have no desire to ever go back.
Ping for your thoughts
I agree. Our military has been in near constant combat for seventeen years. We don’t have any reason to be in Venezuela. if we were to put troops into the country there would be a flood of Venezuelans pouring out of the place with one thought in mind-to come here, all claiming refugee status. Screw them. You’re right. They need to fix their own country.
Maduro should be hung from a lamp post but it’s not our problem. They voted for all this suck so let them fix their own mess.
