but since we are on the subject Venezuela, I think that’s probably how we got into the Iran mess. That went really smoothly and it was quick and it just took a few hours and Mission accomplished. They used that machine. I forgot what it was called, the bamboozler? I forget anyway, I think Trump got a little cocky and thought the Iranians would go down that quickly. Surprise surprise they’re very intelligent.

If Iran takes as long as Iraq and Afghanistan, you can spike the football then..

If National Emergency under Obama Venezuela and National Emergency under Carter Iran both end under Trump 45-47, will you slink away?

The Castros have turned the Cuban people into a nation of whores, and the Castros are the pimps

Literally.

They produce nothing the world wants (OK cigars, maybe)

So to earn FX, they hire their men to foreign regimes as soldiers and secret police

And their women (and children) are sold to foreign sex-tourists

And all the tourist companies are owned by the Military and Raoul Castro’s nephew.

The guys is a monster, but this is silly.

“exile group Brothers to the Rescue” was a CIA sponsored enterprise.

It’s arguable that it could be classified as a foreign military force.

And the US would have shot ‘em dead too.
