Let Europe deal with the ME. We should be in the Americas dealing with our own.

Take care of the cartels and the socialists. These hard-working poor people need a break.

They need law and order!

Instead of them coming up here, we should be enjoying going down there!

Gorgeous lands. Very nice people.(Vast majority)

And why not?

Actually, we should let Venezuela burn. We need a new, horrible and irrefutable recent memory of why voting socialist is a abysmal idea.

Los Angeles will shortly make Venezuela look like a Caribbean paradise.

You are probably correct.

The guys that run the electrical facilities will only work for so long on the promise of “Next week you’ll get some food and toilet paper.”

It is probably similar to the nightmare scenarios of a flu pandemic. Once your own family is threatened with the flu (or starvation or riots) - are you going to go to work (and perhaps catch the flu), or do everything you can at home to help your loved ones?

The folks in old 'Gran Colombia' already hate us for interfering in their local affairs. Yes, we have good relationships in many cases, but generally they don't want us telling them how to do things.

Let them burn. I know folks are begging for us to intervene but as soon as we clean things up they'll be back to accusing us of interfering again.

Many people here know of Daniel Duquenal of the "Venezuela Blogspot". He has been documenting the disaster and is upset that President Trump has not sent military to help the people of Venezuela. As much as I appreciate Daniel's true journalism, I advocate this: DO NOT SHED ONE DROP OF AMERICAN BLOOD FOR THESE PEOPLE!

Socialism will utterly and completely destroy them so long as they are financially isolated from our enemies. If they are smart, the survivors will change their propensity to embrace South America Caudillo culture, change their ways and create a new model of freedom. That's the only intervention I would permit.

However NO MORE of those sacrificing our finest young men and women for an ungrateful people. They can grow up and figure it out for themselves for once.

As for Daniel, sir - The house is on fire. It's time to leave. You will be welcome here.

Put a wall around Venezuela and rename it to Museum of Socialism.
