I was wondering if the meeting with Macri of Argentina was to send a message to Maduro. Then I was thinking, after meeting with G-8, his secretary is scheduling presidents alphabetically: Argentina, Australia, etc.

But I’m trying to understand your strategy for DJT vis-a-vis being John Wayne... elaborate?

Hey look spaz. Of course Trump had nothing to do with it. Not only that nothing would have gotten done if Barak(Iran 2009) or clinton was in office. Trump has the upper hand. More importantantly he has the OPPORTUNITY. DON’T U THINK HE HASD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHO’ HE BE smarter than the others?

A significant data point for the occasional debates here on FR of how long our own military and police would stay loyal to the State.

I think that executing defecting soldiers will only hasten the collapse.

What? You want us to get involved in the internal affairs of another country?

Here’s hoping Maduro soon meets a Ceausescu end.

“This would be a good time for Trump to tell Maduro that he has 48 hours to leave the country.”

Gotta be ready to back up an ultimatum.

Time for a Ceausescu finale. Too bad Chavez could not stick around for it.

I love these comments! A Latino “spring” would do wonders. Monroe Doctrine still reigns true and a free North America makes USA safe and everyone prosperous. Make Central and South America great again!

The VE Air Force has F-16s and Su-30s, they could sure make life in the Presidential Palace miserable.

The Inflection Point: Venezuela’s Military Begins To Defect, March With Protesters.

The Cubans are in Venezuela acting as security for Maduro. Maduro is not going to be able to pay them off and some of the Cuban security is going back to Cuba. They don't work for free!

This was expected some time ago but Maduro was able to pay the Cubans off and now Maduro is on his last legs literally!!! Hopefully, the Venezuelan folks who really have endured misery will have their justice soon.

Thank you for mentioning the Monroe doctrine.

I strongly believe it is time to enforce the Monroe Doctrine and get Maduro out by force!!!

If there are serious military defections then the end is nigh. There may or may not be massive bloodshed but Maduro’s rule is at an end. Either he and his coterie will flee or the generals, or the Lieutenants, will kill him and proclaim a new Republic. It doesn’t mean the end of dictatorship, necessarily but likely replacement by an authoritarian cabal like Latin America has had many of.

YES! Round up all the antifas and send them to Venezuela. The mob should make short work of them.
