The move comes one day after Vice President Mike Pence sent a recorded video of himself to Venezuelans referring to Maduro as "a dictator with no legitimate claim to power."

Send Obama down to negotiate.
General Pinochet PLEASE COME BACK!
Without Venezuela to send them cash and oil Cuba will be DEAD as a country within 6 months. Both revolts will be BLOODY!
Threaten them right back- we will consider any attack on our embassy as an act of war.
I’ll take 60 hours.
I’m pretty sure we cut off relations with Maduro first.
“That’s a shame.”
I really dont know. First another celebrity divorce in Hollywood and now this. I dont think I can take it anymore.
Hugo’s daughter has $4B PLUS
Some in US banks
Let’s freeze in and use it for security for the USA
Reading mixed stories about Venezuelan support for Maduro...Seems to be about 50/50...Hate to see us get involved in that kind of conflict...
“President Carter, you have a phone call from Venezuela”
“The message is ... HELP!”
U S and Canada support the opposition leader. Mexico supports Maduro. Countries are breaking one way or the other.
(Sigh) United Fruit used to deal with idiots like Maduro for us.
From Chile?
To go “Fight for the Cause”
Then unleash the guerrillas and support them to the max
Two birds, one stone
Good for the USA. But the embassy personnel might rather not be in a war zone. Remember Stevens.
The ol Mussolini treatment...nice.
Then go after all the Russians, Iranians, Cubans and Germans there.
