Buchannan takes non-inteventionism to extremes. How can “Venezuelans” decide their own destiny when outsiders are making sure that the communists have all the guns? And what’s to stop the communists from making sure that their opponents never get any weapons from the USA — by installing hidden nuclear missiles aimed our way and threatening to take out New York if they start to lose?
If only the Venezuelans had some way to fight off the tyranny that they voted in! I say, we should get our affairs in order first. Root out the deep state while at the same time building the wall along the entire southern U.S. border, and then going about finding all of the illegals and sending them packing.
The money well save in the long run will be tremendous! It will more than finance any new interventions into countries that were stupid enough to vote leftist, socialist, Marxist, communist systems and then willingly giving up their guns.
Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. Benjamin Franklin.
