We cannot allow the socialists/Communists to retain power there. It will only embolden the Bolshevik wannabe’s here and elsewhere. We are truly at war with socialism/Communism, globally.

I fear there’ll be chaos in Venezuela for years to come.

And the worst thing POTUS cou7ld do is try to fix it.

Just walk away.

Not a coup. Idiots shooting into the sky at unseen drones. Not today anyway.
