    Default Venezuela

    Are we about to send the troops in?

    All the signs suggest that is the case.

    The country was rumored to be apart of Bush's Axis of Evil a few times... it was on the Neocon agenda 20 years ago. Guess we will see what happens.

    Trump wants to be like Reagan and orchestrate the fall of communism in a foe. But it's Trump, and no cares about whether Venezuela is communist or democratic.

    the patrickchewing sized (largest in the world) oil reserves are the sole reason for wanting to take out maduro. it's a shame and a crime.

    he seems like a chill guy.

    trump WISHES he had Maduro's footwork and drip:

    Toppling Maduro has got to be the easiest thing to do. That war would last 30 mins tops.

    this is rubio and the neocons at work. they've manipulated trump into believing this is about drugs. so he's none the wiser but i don't cut him any slack at this point.

    no matter who's elected you just end up getting john mccain.

    we're essentially 21st century vikings. "you've got what we want - we're landing on your shores and taking everything".

    Invading Venezuela is not a big enough distraction to make everyone forget Trump blew Bubba.

    Lol no. It has nothing to do with drugs or any type of noble crusade.

    We're going after the oil. Trump is trying to lock down the western hemisphere.

    you... do realize all that this entails, right? i mean, overthrowing governments, destabilising entire countries, occupying them and subsequently installing liberal democratic governments in societies and cultures that aren't compatible with them is our bread & butter afterall.

    "lock down the western hemisphere", he says.

    you really do think this would be as easy as a 21st century viking raid, conquer and pillage campaign, don't you? in and out in a jiffy, right.

    but by all means, hop on board and support trump just because. don't be skeptical, don't ask questions. god forbid don't critique.

    another five years from now and you'll be complaining about the next Democratic president opening the border to fleeing refugees and once again flooding our country after trump spent four years trying to clean it up.

    this isn't going to be the walk in the park you wish it to be.

    Uh, what makes you think I'm not skeptical? I already told you I don't think this has anything to do with drugs or what the administration is telling us. I'm very much aware that this is probably just some power play. I could be wrong of course too, but I don't know why would you suggest that I'm not skeptical.

    If you're telling me that the biggest thing I'll have to worry about is the potential for future refugees, I would say wake me up when that happens. Hopefully we have a president like Trump who enforces the border and keeps people out, like we are now.

    Beyond that, I could give two f*cks if some foreign dictator is dethroned. Trump isn't slaying or torturing innocent civilians, he's removing someone from power. All of these world leaders know that there is a game of thrones and that at any time their moment could be up. Sorry I'm not going to lose sleep for Nicolás Maduro.

    America has to worry about it's own survival too. The world is changing rapidly. We have to secure our interests as well. If we can muscle out some shithole operation, and it comes at minimal cost to America, then what the f*ck is there to even protest?
