Venezuela Agreed To Let Russia Set Up A Bomber Outpost On This Caribbean Island: Reports
The Drive
BY JOSEPH TREVITHICK
DECEMBER 18, 2018
http://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/25570/venezuela-agreed-to-let-russia-set-up-a-bomber-outpost-on-this-carribean-island-reports
“Russian media outlets are reporting that the Kremlin is planning to establish a forward outpost on the Venezuelan island of La Orchila in the Caribbean Sea and base nuclear-capable Tu-160 Blackjack bombers, two of which just wrapped up a recent deployment to the country, at the site. If true, this could help bolster the embattled regime of Venezuela’s dictatorial president Nicolás Maduro and would significantly change the strategic reality in the Western Hemisphere for the United States.”

Why are the same news stories getting recycled, this is already a few days old

Problems & threats do not come and go with the news cycle, nor our election cycles.

If they are pushed aside by the latest headlines & fads and ignored, they continue to grow and fester in the dark of our national ignoring (and ignorance).

“Why are the same news stories getting recycled, this is already a few days old”

The Western world is over-consuming the precious supply of news. We are mining it using high pressure clicks and leaving a devastated landscape in the third world lands that have significant news deposits. Just take a look at Venezuela. PETA is demanding news conservation and reuse. Progressive places like California are leading the way in news conservation and reuse. For example, all of Hillary Clinton’s excuses for losing the 2016 election will be reused in 2020. It is important that the internet lead the world in the sustainable reuse of news.

Japan doubted our stomach for war when the hit Pearl Harbor, too. Had the carriers been in the harbor at the time and been destroyed, would the US have sued for peace?

Lets try this from a different angle.

Busting the Three Gorges Dam will resolve tensions in the South China Sea.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the burgeoning axis powers said the same thing about the U.S. prior to World War 2. Americans had grown soft and couldn’t fight...

I love your bravado coupled with some common sense about justification, but I fear Corporate America and all too many of our woke and entitled population would gladly welcome the PRC overlords.
