It aint over, but it is coming to attention.
Chavez is in hell and Maduro is on the way.

Why is Russia in Venezuela? Well it aint for the heavy sulfur crude, they want a presence in our backyard, and want warm water ports

Hey Ivan watch yer back.

Either we allow the Russians and Chinese into our hemisphere or we don’t. But the second part of the Monroe Doctrine was that we would stay our of Europe and their business.

Seems like we reap what we sow.

I am no fan of Colin Powell, but a saying of his pertains here: If you break it, it’s yours.

VZ has a population of about 33 million. How many are protesting? The videos(which could be limited) show no more than a bigger antifa gathering in Portland, maybe 3,000(?).

Must not be bad enough yet to get a critical mass crowd out.

And if our issue is with the Russians and Chinese, we can take that up with them directly.

No reason to start what would be an oil and endless-war war on the ground in a country that would be more physically challenging than Afghanistan or Vietnam.

I would have had far more respect for him if he had simply resigned. The guy who works for a retarded baboon is a bigger fool than the baboon.

Some Venezuelan patriot needs to step up and kill Maduro.

That’s a possibility but who would be his replacement?

Careful what you wish for. Juan Guaido likes to stand up before a crowd. Even in urban areas of Caracas.

I keep worrying he'll get capped. Kinda like Kennedy refusing a close topped limo in Dallas.

More like the Europeans would stick to their own business and we would leave existing colonies alone but they better not start trying to “accumulate” new colonies...and if they did crap that messed with us they could expect some “resistance”.

Maduro can not afford to let this guy live.
And he can’t afford to put him in some jail.
Any way ya look at it, it will be interesting.
I’d bet there are more than 100 russian soldiers there too

That’s why it’s going to take a “Pinochet” to get rid of Maduro.
