“Isn’t that meddling?”

Yes, it is. And for some reason it’s always okay when the USA does it to anyone else.

Is this "meddling in a foreign government's internal affairs"?

That's Comrade Maduro looking on it the background, as Comrade Obama gets a 'soul-bro' handshake from Comrade Chavez.

Actually, it showed up on top in my Google search, which did surprise me, because Google is exceedingly biased in their results, as everyone here I’m sure knows.

Yes. Utah Beach, I think.

Sometimes, another country’s “internal affairs” need a bit of meddling ...

Nope - didn’t say that.

Didn’t even allude to that.

Nice try. You’ll have to do better than that.

Gosh - maybe you were speaking tongue-in-cheek and had too little info for one to decide if your words could be taken at face value...so, when Pence makes a statement, and someone calls the statement “meddling”, what is one to infer from the sum of the two statements?
