Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has called for a campaign for the “liberation” of Puerto Rico from the United States. […]

Although the chances of Puerto Rico being invaded appear unlikely, the comments serve as a reminder of the Venezuelan challenges that await President-elect Donald Trump when he returns to the White House on January 20.

Maduro invoked Simón Bolívar, the Venezuelan soldier who liberated much of South America from Spanish rule, as he spoke about Puerto Rico.

“Just as in the north they have a colonization agenda, we have a liberation agenda,” Maduro said during the closing of the International Anti-Fascist Festival in Caracas on Saturday. “And our agenda was written by Simón Bolívar. The freedom of Puerto Rico is pending, and we will achieve it with Brazilian troops…leading the way.” …

[Just mythoughts]

[KarlInOhio]

Is this Maduro’s way of asking for Venezuela to be added as a state?

[Olog-hai]

Why, so he can invite Red China in to use it as a base?

[MinorityRepublican]

Maybe he can keep the lights on the island...

The stilt houses in the area of Lake Maracaibo
reminded the Italian navigator, Amerigo Vespucci,
of the city of Venice, Italy,
so he named the region Veneziola, or “Little Venice”.

Distraction by Maduro.

“My nation is in shambles.

“Look! A squirrel!”

[BobL]

Is he taking donations?

El Raton Que Rugio. The mouse that roared. En realidad solo mierda es Maduro.

Interesting - didn’t know that. So Amerigo Vespucci is responsible for naming America and Venezuela.

“Why, so he can invite Red China in to use it as a base?”

And by the Neocon “Rules Based International Order”, there isn’t a damn thing we can do about it. We just have to ‘suck it up’ if China decides to have bases and missiles that close to us.

[Olog-hai]

“Neocon” = left-wing. Always has, even by Irving Kristol’s standards (the guy who allegedly coined the term “neoconservative”).

Trump’s Jacksonianism: “ Don’t mess with the US, or US interests, or we will smash you.

[TigersEye]

Trump doesn’t need to respond to this. Puerto Rico will in no uncertain terms.

Unfortunately the American “mainstream” press won’t report what Puerto Rico says.

[Kudsman]

Bigly.

“Big League”

If Puerto Ricans think they are bad off as a territory, they’d be much worse off being alone or as a another territory of Venezuela.
