On Wednesday on CNN’s “The Situation Room,” Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) said the Trump administration’s military strikes on alleged drug boats were a “catastrophic blunder” policy-wise.
Host Wolf Blitzer said, “You’re a key member of the Armed Services Committee so I want to ask you about what’s going on with Venezuela right now. Venezuela says it’s launching a massive military mobilization in response to a very significant U.S. military buildup of warships and troops in the Caribbean. As I said, you’re on the Armed Services Committee. You’re also on the foreign relations committee. Just how much latitude does the U.S. have right now to justify its naval buildup and the lethal strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean?”
Kaine said, “Wolf, I think this policy is a catastrophic blunder. I was a missionary in Honduras. I’m the Foreign Relations Lead Democrat on the Committee of the Americas. I think treating this as a military intervention is a big mistake. You saw yesterday that our closest ally, the United Kingdom, has now stopped sharing intelligence with the U.S. on activities in the Caribbean and the Pacific near the Americas because they believe the U.S. strikes are violating international law. And when you amass such naval presence near Venezuela, you are dramatically raising the risk that Venezuela will, you know, pick up something on the radio or see a move and think they’re going to be under attack and then respond in kind.”
He added, “Venezuela has some very significant weapons that they’ve purchased from adversaries of the United States.

Use them and FO.
Timmy doing drugs from Venezuela? What the hell is he worried about? He must love watching Americans die. Murdered by America-hating foreigners.
During the Biden administration they spent four years displaying the spineless military capacity of the US> Trump’s putting it back.

Always worrying about the enemies of the US and never Americans: that’s the Dems in a nutshell.
This boob was Hillary’s running mate. He makes Tim Walz look good.
Kaine looks drunk all the time.
Tim Kaine was Billary’s running mate.
When the New York Times and others were stating Billary had a 90% chance of winning in 2016, I will bet that Timmy Boy drove by the Vice President’s estate many times.
Too bad, Timmy Boy.
I bet he thought Reagan putting short term nuke missles in West Europe was a blunder.
If Trump declares war on the Venezuela craphole, he can remove all Venezuelans from America. Same with the Colombians. Let’s do it. If the Dizzy Dipstick Jugheads get involved, deport them too.
True, Venezuela got 'em from Democrats, and they are adversaries of the United States.
Tim Kaine is dumber than a window-licking retard. No offense to retards.
What a maroon
Hegseth should be sure that Kaine’s words showing a lack of confidence in our Navy is passed on to the entire DoW.
Dumb ass VA voters… we could have had Hung Cao as Senator but the libs in Arlington / Alexandria / Fairfax / and Loudon saw fit to re-elect Kaine.
WHEN he dumps the narco terrorist thug “regime” of Nick “El Caudillo de Bus Driver” nobody in Venezuela will HAVE to leave: it can go back to being the wealthiest nation in Latin America.
ThugDuro merely wanted to be top dog collecting the oil cash so he babbles BS about “socialismo” and “people power” to cover for his real plan: just take the money.
It will be a gift to the Venezuelan people when the creep is gone.
CNN. Wolf Blitzer. Tim Kaine.
“I was a MISSIONARY”? What kind?
LOL! Do we really need British Intelligence for what is happening in that region?
