Washington Examiner ^ | April 5 2018 | Joe Gehrke

A military intervention to oust Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro remains “a very serious option” for the United States, according to President Trump’s national security team.

“Obviously, that’s a result that no one would like to see but clearly one that is seriously considered as events unfold,” a senior administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told reporters Friday evening.

President Trump has got to stop listening to those who are pedaling this kind of crap.

Instead, he made them his Secretary of State and National Security Advisor.

It is in the US’s best interests for the world to see the regime change as the VZ people getting rid of communism (if possible) — not the US installing some puppet.

Help and assist? Yes. Topple? No.

I’ll be brief: “NO!” Let. Communism. Fail. SPECTACULARILY!

I totally trust PDJT, though. I’m thinking he’s doing what he always does and is just raising the TOPIC so it gets talked about, and the Enemy Media gets EXPOSED for the POS Anti-America TRAITORS that we all know them to be!

Gawd, HOW I LOVE THIS MAN! MAGA! :)

The people in Venezuela voted for that socialism. Let them fix it. Or not. I don’t care.

Trump always keeps these things “on the table”, but it would be folly to actually go there. It is exactly what Maduro and Putin want. As soon as US troops arrive, they become the enemy, and Maduro has “Yankee Invaders” that he can point at as the enemy of Venezuela. We will NOT be seen as heroes down there if we send troops.

Give the rebels political and humanitarian support, maybe even some intel and equipment. Let Russia or China send troops to try to prop up Maduro, then THEY can be seen as the enemy of the revolution, and the entire country will turn against THEM.

No. The hell with them. I don't give a damn about Venezuela. For crying out loud I'm fed up with my country being the worlds ATM and some kind of Motel 6 for the whole damn world. Are you aware there is a secessionist movement afoot in Alberta, Canada? For God's sake they want in here. Imagine what that would do. Every Canadian who could would be in here. What does this sh!t end? When we're overwhelmed with millions of people?

“Unlike the Middle East, the people in Venezuela have had and know freedom and capitalism, and want it back”

Then they should do something about it.

Maybe we should invade southern Mexico and shut off the flow of aliens headed north. There is a spot passable only along coasts 140 miles wide almost on Mexico’s southern border.

One of the funniest movies of all time.

You’re a brave man. Go and break through the lines. And remember, while you’re out there risking you’re life and limb through shot and shell, we’ll be in be in here thinking what a sucker you are.

Not our pasture, not our bullshit.

We have no business meddling in a sovereign country militarily. You would think that we would of learned that from Afcrapistan and Iraq.
