Embargo on Cuba will do the trick

Right, like it did for 60 years.

By the way, why no embargo on Saudi Arabia? If we really have a problem with dictatorships, let’s start there. Venezuala May have had rigged elections - I don’t know because Gaudi didn’t run for election, he wants to be installed by coup or riots - - but Saudi Arabia doesntveven have elections. They do have head chopping and crucifixion, though

Can’t we get a covert team in there to knock off Maduro and make it look like the locals did it?

“attempt to get the country Back”

When did Guida ever have the country? He didn’t run in the election for president did he?

“” “” The legislature of Venezuela removed Maduro from office and installed Guaido as the interim President. He is the legal commander in chief, but the military remains loyal to the man removed from office, not to mention the many thousands of Cuban forces that are propping up Maduro. “” “”

That’s one of many fairy tales resembling others supporting all too many foreign entanglements before it.
It is actually an adaptation of older lie stating the military is with Guaidó.

I believe Guaidó has expired. Failing to gain enough support to pull a successful coup then inviting a foreign power to bomb your people is beyond legitimate popular uprising. More like sedition, high treason.

Tell me, why is he a worse ruler than the Saudi dictators? Do you want us to knock the off too?

Saudi Arabia is a friend and good ally

Cuba is neither.

We have not embargoed Cuba, ever.

The only people who don’t want Maduro gone are people making money with him.

I wonder how many drug dealers in the US are beholden to him?

Good luck.

Send them weapons and training, but no boots on the ground. We can round up the invaders in our country, arm them and send them to Venezuela.

Venezuela is more useful to us as a bad example, to be perfectly cold about it. And we would be a terrific scapegoat that the international Left would use to mask socialism’s obvious failure if we decapitated Maduro so that another socialist could step in. The Venezuelans are going to have to do this themselves, and judging by what little we actually had reported on the last attempt, they don’t want to.

If Trump follows the lead of his neo con National Security staff and starts invading other countries—even if their “leader” asks for it, he will loose re-election.

The Constitution is pretty clear on this stuff. I am tired of the Dems disregarding it, I will be damned if Trump ignores it.

Yes, good point, Saudis are worse , My bad. In Venezuala I could at least practice my Christian Faith. In Saudi that would be a risk

The people of Saudi Arabia live under a more fearful dictatorship than Venezuala. In Venezuala you’re free to go to church. Not so in Saudi.

The difference is the Saudis are continuing to pay off the populace.
In Venezuela the greedy upper echelon is not paying off the populace and is occurring the wrath of their socialist populace who want money and food and medical attention, like they had in their socialist past. -Tom.

Actually, I’ve heard it said that Guaido is a social democrat-basically, he’s all for capitalism, with a welfare state government to use the money from it for social benefits. All things considered, he might well be the best possible option in that country. Also, Hugo Chavez won his first election legally, but there’s reason to believe that he won the second with fraud.
