Venezuela's Maduro says he's cutting off relations with US
Fox News ^ | January 23, 2019 | Nicole Darrah

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Wednesday said he's cutting off relations with the U.S., and giving U.S. diplomats 72 hours to abandon the country.

The socialist leader ordered a review of Venezuela's relationship with the U.S. after the Trump administration officially recognized opposition leader Juan Guaido as the nation's interim president.

The move comes one day after Vice President Mike Pence sent a recorded video of himself to Venezuelans referring to Maduro as "a dictator with no legitimate claim to power."

"He has never won the presidency in a free and fair election, and has maintained his grip on power by imprisoning anyone who dares to oppose him," Pence said in the video.

Since our RECOGNIZED president has not ordered them out of the country, Trump should ignore him.

“I say we send ALL the liberal commies to their socialist utopia Venezuela PERMANENTLY so they can see how super awesome it is to live there”

Socialism is pretty grand, if you happen to be one of the leadership, or related to someone in leadership.

Everyone that wants to eat, or stay out of prison, curries your favor, or cowers in your presence. No laws apply to you, and you simply take anything you want, from money, to property, to kids off the streets to use as sex toys.

What’s not to like?

That's my thought as well. If they kidnap our diplomats then we send in the military and end this.
