The blackout covering socialist Venezuela is not going away any time soon, and Venezuela's people are now facing famine. Up until now, they've been eating out of garbage trucks. International aid has been blocked by force. Now, they're raiding the sewers for water.
And the known death toll in the hospitals is high, at least 25, and nobody knows how many have died in places such as western Venezuela, where there is no power at all. Preemies have lost their incubaters, patients with kidney failure have died slow painful deaths without dialysis, diabetics have lost their refrigerated insulin, cancer patients have lost their chemotherapy treatments, people with other critical illnesses and conditions have not been able to reach doctors on the phone or been able to see hospital staff whose subway trips to work have been halted. People who were halfway through surgery when the blackout hit have fared very very grimly.

I forgot! Jimmy Carter’s campaign slogan was “Socialism for Everyone!” People knew what Chavez stood for and voted for him. The fact that all later elections were rigged only proves the point that they could not vote their way out.
Completely agree with you. They will not change until they make the change themselves. Let some other country do the heavy lifting on this one. We have our own problems to solve at home first.
The only thing we should maybe, and I stress maybe, do is airdrop a bunch of the AK rifles we confiscated in Iraq and air drop them and crates of ammunition into areas that are known to be anti Maduro.
Then sit back and enjoy the show.
Not one drop of American blood should be spilled down there. Not one drop.

Thanks detective.
I figured that’s what you meant with the riots that greeted him as VP. I also seem to recall a speech or book where he talked about what he had planned for the rest of his time in office if he had served. (Or perhaps it was what he though America should be working on.)
After Russia and China, one of his priorities was that we should help build up good governments and economies in South America as they were so close to us. And then in Africa - he spoke about how the Africans are so backwards and uneducated in the principles of government and economics. Many of the presidents of those governments today say the same thing. Mostly due to the tribal and civil wars that caused kids to stay home and close schools for a dozen years in some cases.
Its not a place for a military intervention. Jungle warfare and maximum attrition on both side. Another Vietnam not worth our blood.
