Our nation is dying, here, now. We need to stay out of Venezuela.
“Our nation is dying, here, now. We need to stay out of Venezuela.”
I recently saw a meme showing the presidents on the left and the wars or police actions they had gotten the US into one the right. All had a fairly long list. There was nothing next to Trump’s photo. Part of the reason for that is because Trump has frightened the stew out of our would-be enemies. (I like that.)
Our nation is not dying. If you look back through history you will find many times when there was civil unrest. But, as my mother pointed out when I was upset by the rash of riots...I think it was in the late ‘60’s...America is not a place where you can seize the radio and TV stations and the airport and declare yourself dictator. America is huge. All these little altercations are just a flash in the pan.
As for Venezuela. It is a cancer on the world. Leaving it untouched risks it metastasizing into a much larger problem which will directly menace America. I believe Trump will handle the problem through proxies. With the right proxy and the right backing, the operation to excise the cancer can be done with comparatively little blood, none of it American. Trump will merely make it worth someone’s while to shed their blood.
The Bush’s would send in the Marines. Obama would use drones. Clinton would have used a US-lead international force. Hillary would have made serious money and done nothing. I like Trump’s take on how to handle it.
