“Would you like the US to ramp up an invasion force?”

Nope. But we could provide the US-recognized Venezuelan government with weapons to counter the weapons being provided to Maduro by the Chinese, Russians, and Cubans.

Maduro controls the functions of government, and as such controls the flow of goods that come and go to and from that country. We have no mechanism to ensure the weapons get to the right people and not Maduro loyalists, Chinese, Russians, Cubans and the elements of Hezbollah currently there.

Yet we managed to do exactly that by arming the partisans in Nazi occupied Europe.

There’s a lot of leftist disinformation being posted here on FR.

One thing we have to do - we, meaning the US - is prevent this from being another Bay of Pigs, where we encouraged the opposition, promising to be there...and never showed up.

The US is a weak and unreliable friend. Cuba knows it, Russia knows it, and Trump should change that narrative.

Well now.. the size of those countries’ resistance forces were far more organized and much larger, and the geography was more favorable.

Code Pink = Liberal Fascists

I hope the Venezuelans knock the pish out of them.

In the handful of scum pictured here, there appear to be some left over very white scum from the Iraq and Nam protests.

Code Pink was founded by and operated by a crowd of very angry bitter old liberal Jewish women who don’t believe in makeup or highlights and who blame America for everything wrong with the world

Their second bogeyman is Israel

I note a sign they are holding up says the US creates dictators while at the same time Trump contemplates to what extent to help the people overcome a dictator

It’s priceless

Can anyone ID what armored car that is? Country/make/model.

Probably these. In addition to domesticly-produced Tiuna armored cars and trucks, Venezuela uses Russian BMP-3 and BTR-80 armored vehicles, and some Chinese amphibious vehicles.

Anyone know the medical status of the people that armored truck ran over?

Multiple fractures and a collapsed lung, but still alive at last account. Story here.

Thanks, though the vid looked different from any of those.

Exactly... Trump needs to change that narrative.
