Venezuela's Maduro says he's cutting off relations with US

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Wednesday said he's cutting off relations with the U.S., and giving U.S. diplomats 72 hours to abandon the country.

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."

"He has never won the presidency in a free and fair election, and has maintained his grip on power by imprisoning anyone who dares to oppose him," Pence said in the video.

I wish he would cut off his nuts and then his throat, just to spite us.

Maybe we can send Cindy “Reds” Sheehan down there to give him a Chavez/Castro-type hug. That should calm him down or drive him to suicide, hopefully the latter.

Nah - that might result in a Venezuelan Benghazi....which would end up with Venezuela being occupied for a bit.
