We can fight a five front war:

—Ukraine/Russia

—China/Taiwan

—Iran

—Israel/Gaza

—Venezuela/Guyana

while ignoring the invaders on our southern border.

What could possibly go wrong?

War in Europe.
War in the Middle East.
War in South America.

Taiwan is just sitting there.

This is fine.

Maduro is playing the world and his own people. He’s a neocon, Venezuelan style.

Letting Venezuela know we’re paying attention will probably be enough to deter any aggression.

LOL, that’s pretty much along the lines of what I was going to say. I’m sure Biden is salivating at the idea of a ‘crisis’ where lots of ‘refugees’ need a new home. I mean, we already take ‘economic refugees’ by the millions every year. A war would be an even better cover.

Got to hurry up and get lots more in before Trump wins the election in 2024

Madura is a socialist and he wants to grab Guyana’s oil reserves, which are significant. Nothing fancy about this one.

Venezuela is in cahoots with Russia & China. I wonder if we are being drawn into this so that we will be too overstretched to do anything if China decides to take Taiwan? Or maybe the strategy is to let Venezuela go all in then use that as an excuse for us to take out Maduro? Whatever the plan I don’t trust any of these idiots in the Biden administration to do what is in our best interest.
