Good luck.

Send them weapons and training, but no boots on the ground. We can round up the invaders in our country, arm them and send them to Venezuela.

Venezuela is more useful to us as a bad example, to be perfectly cold about it. And we would be a terrific scapegoat that the international Left would use to mask socialism’s obvious failure if we decapitated Maduro so that another socialist could step in. The Venezuelans are going to have to do this themselves, and judging by what little we actually had reported on the last attempt, they don’t want to.

If Trump follows the lead of his neo con National Security staff and starts invading other countries—even if their “leader” asks for it, he will loose re-election.

The Constitution is pretty clear on this stuff. I am tired of the Dems disregarding it, I will be damned if Trump ignores it.

I think we’ve reached nukem mode on Venezuela! Wait 20 years and build a resort!

They can’t even pretend Guaido won the election. He never ran for President. Sanctions are an act of war. We did not elect President Trump to put Darth Vader in charge of our foreign policy.

I think they're a write-off. As Nixon once said, they are "prone to violence and irrationality". Probably why we really haven't did anything there.

.

During a goodwill trip through Latin America, Vice President Richard Nixon's car is attacked by an angry crowd and nearly overturned while traveling through Caracas, Venezuela. The incident was the dramatic highlight of trip characterized by Latin American anger over some of America's Cold War policies.

The trip began with some controversy, as Nixon engaged in loud and bitter debates with student groups during his travels through Peru and Uruguay. In Caracas, Venezuela, however, things took a dangerous turn. A large crowd of angry Venezuelans who shouted anti-American slogans stopped Nixon's motorcade through the capital city. They attacked the car, damaged its body and smashed the windows. Inside the vehicle, Secret Service agents covered the vice president and at least one reportedly pulled out his weapon. Miraculously, they escaped from the crowd and sped away.

In Washington, President Eisenhower dispatched U.S. troops to the Caribbean area to rescue Nixon from further threats if necessary. None occurred, and the vice president left Venezuela ahead of schedule.

Guaido is also a socialist. Hard to get excited about switching one socialist for another.

What he’s done so far, is smoke out who was not supportive of Maduro, so they could be eliminated.

Things are going to stay crappy there until there’s no more oil to steal.

If it were up to me...

After we finished building our wall, we’d build one around Venezuela.

Then mount cameras on top so the neighboring countries could watch the misery and degradation of the people therein.

Let Venezuela stand as a moral story to all the others in that AO of what happens when you go stupid socialist.

Maybe the locals outside the walls could even make some money on sports betting. Which starving zombie eats the other first.
