One of the tenets of neoconservatism is exporting democracy at gunpoint. Sound familiar?

Venezuelans need to save themselves, not be bailed out by the rest of the world. Without existential threat, they can be assured of going socialist again within a generation.

Paul Wolfowitz was resurrected to be the manager for the Venezuela crisis. At the time I asked rhetorically why Trump keeps hiring K Street Hacks for his administration. Now we are directly threatening another sovereign nation for actions which clearly fall into their purview. If the Venezuelans want to change their government badly enough they will do so. It is none of our business in telling them what to do. Now if Russia or China intervened in an open and obvious manner that is an American vital interest to eject them. The US should act to serve US interests, not the interests of K Street and the Neo-con constellation. World saving serves no positive purpose for the US, it does serve the interests of K Street.

Tell that to Cuba.
