For decades Gyana and Venezuela have disputed the borders, but this is the first incident to come out of it.

"It was then clear that the vessel and its crew were not only being escorted out of Guyana's waters, but were under arrest," the ministry said. "These actions by the Venezuelan naval vessel are unprecedented in Guyana Venezuela relations."

Yes it will certainly boost his stature when he apologizes and offers a large ransom, er aid package of taxpayer money. His stature with communists and muslims.

That’s what happens when a Nobel peace prize winner becomes the leader of the most powerful nation in the world.

Seriously....is there any kind of an emergency plan in place to be able to remove a US president in the event he is not functioning in his duties and is endangering the country?

Barbary Pirates Anyone???

‘FROM THE HALLS OF MONTEZUMA
TO THE SHORES OF TRIPOLI’....

Back when we had LEADERS ‘Marches’ were written and legends born because of their actions.

Besides ‘bowing’ to Heads of State, the ability to ‘tear’ up on cue, today’s leaders are comparable to Sesame Street characters.

Pueblo, Liberty, Iran hostages, are among the NON ACTION we have endured with these lily-livered SOB’s...

A GREAT question was brought up the other day in regards to the lady ‘shot and gunned down in the streets of Washington BY a couple of ‘Armed Forces’ -

Too bad the POLICE in DC are NOT held to the same ROE’s as our TROOPS with REAL people shooting back at them before they can ASK permission to retaliate.

I believe there is but it involves the Vice President and/or Speaker of the House. So where is calling the Kettle Black going to get anywhere?
