You’re the one insisting on zero casualties.
And you always seem to side against the Trump administration.
Why is that?
L
Maduro will be fine until his people get tired of boiling the same bat carcass for dinner every night.
I don’t expect any lives will be needed, but if so, how does it balance against the costs of letting that situation fester over 20 years?
Nah, mostly I’m siding against starting a war in a mid term year.
Another reason why . . . not a chance.
Not sure I can sign on with “fester”.
This was another place we were told is starving.
Then there was an earthquake and Caracas and the videos appeared on youtube of people pouring out of buildings.
None looked like they were Jews in a concentration camp with no food. I saw no starvation. For good reason. There was none.
Then there were orchestrated interviews of the poverty stricken people pouring out of the horrors of Venezuela. I watched them talk to the desperate women — who were wearing makeup.
Believe nothing from media. Do your own research.
Tony Montana would approve. In the end he didn’t see the leather gloved narco-terrorist with the sawed off double barrel 12 gauge shotgun to the head. Tony having buried his head in a small mountain of cocaina piled on his desk.
Best ever Cuban/American English accent, really the best.
Incidentally Cuban American patriots have no, zero use for Maduro and pretty much most all of the lousy Communist Chavistas who have a deal with Communist Cuba to fill 20K Venezuela “military” in their uniforms with Communist Cuban Army soldiers.
Real scum, and not really much of an army.
The drug boats are hauling precursors for fentanyl in 55 gal drums, as well as processed dried cocaine for distribution— in the outer Caribbean islands, like— Trinidad, and further up the Antilles chain.
Most do not remember Carlos Lehder and his owning of Norman’s Key in the Bahamas for mega distribution by aircraft.
Lehder was released!!! Back to Colombia where he is still giving interviews— he should have been offed but he sang about it all. Next up el Presidente of Colombia, Peru, and yes, Ecuador.
Well they did just manage to elect a demonrat mayor in Miami, but I get your point
No, Bush acted because a Marine officer in civilian clothes walking outside the Canal Zone got ambushed by uniformed Panamanian troops — who killed him.
That was the trigger.
Regardless, there were onsite bases for staging. Bush flew 1000s of troops in. They don’t exist in Ven.
Like Vladimir Putin, Maduro presently lacks the resources to project any strength beyond his own borders.
Maduro is nothingness now that the protective Biden regime is gone
I wonder if the Venezuelan bromeliad trade will be affected by the embargo?
He maybe serving time in Panama , but it is in a grave. He died in 2017.
I said nothing about a trigger - that’s on you, and who cares about the rest as long as Maduro is put to full stop.
Humm right - I should not have used the word ‘currently’.
