But there's a part of me that voted for Trump to keep the USA out of other countries with constant military intervention, even if it is bad and dictatorial like this commie has made Venezuela.
I hope that Trump understands why.
Venezuela has the potential for being another multi-decade long festering boil like NK or Cuba. Trump is just thinking in the long term. What’s right and what’s politically popular/expedient are often at odds.
I am sure there are geopolitical reasons...............
I am so tired of the endless wars. However, its time for the US, mostly Europe, to take hold of this situation and clean it up, because after all Europe egged on Chavez and now Madura to do the things that is happening there now.
Venezuela is NONE OF OUR BUSINESS. Blockaid it but otherwise we should leave it alone. Nothing for us except maybe to relocate all Venezuelans currently in the US back. Better if we were to occupy Mexico and then send all Mexicans back.
Sounds like victory, even if it's just a threat of a blockade. No intervention required. Blockades > Blockheads.
Yeah, no.
Venezuela is no threat to the U.S., and their internal affairs are not our government’s business.
I feel for the Venezuelan people but we’ve got really big evils like ISIS and NK on earth.
Part of Venezuela’s army rebelled; also, there might be some OAS action at some point. We could be supportive. I doubt if we’d undertake something alone, we are a member of the Organization of American States, OAS.
All the same, Venezuela is a bit of a partner in the Axis of Evil; laundered Iranian money, are an ally of Cuba. We do need to keep an eye on them.
Yeah... military intervention in Venezuela is just really a bad idea. We have bigger fish to fry.
Ivanka again?
NOT OUR PROBLEM!
We have the media and the Deep State to wage war on, here at home.
Somalia anyone? Iraq anyone? The Arab Spring anyone?
I am convinced that President Trump is now using the mendacious media to his advantage by saying all sorts of ridiculous things to confuse and befuddle our enemies, all of whom have been misled by the mendacious media to expect him to do just about anything evil and pernicious, since they’ve been lying about him ongoingly since he began his presidential run.
America has a long history of military intervention is Latin America. Venezuela is long past the point where an invasion was necessary to protect the American interests there. Those interests are already dead.
Venezuela ruled by oligarchs killed herself by communist intrusion
Sorry, Trump, but we aren't the world police and we certainly don't need to risk our men and women for some hell hole. We've lost far too many on these lost causes. Venezuela brought this particular trouble on themselves. If they enjoy socialism so much, then let them continue with it. If they don't, then they are the ones who need to put a stop to it. If they are starving, then another blame should be laid at their feet. We've read countless accounts of people rummaging through garbage for food yet when there are pictures of the garbage, there is perfectly good food being thrown out. When there is good food being tossed, then they are NOT starving. The people lined up for the grocery stores don't look like they've missed many meals. Nope, sorry, when you have the means to get a nice manicure, you don't deserve my sympathy. Then we read about farmers who starving. Farmers starving??? Then they're lazy farmers with lazy families. Plant something for goodness sakes and disconnect that dish on your roof to feed your kids. Apparently no one with a bit of yard or a sunny window in Venezuela has any clue what to do with them. And restaurant and food truck owners claim they send their kids to be without dinner? Sure, tell me another lie.
Give the Venezualuan people arms and let them take care their own problems.
Press Conference on Monday, perhaps this will be clarified. I don’t have any problems with what he said and I watched it again this morning, as he was flanked by Tillerson and Haley.
NO.
Venezuela is not a threat to the US, they are not our business. Trump needs to keep his attention on N. Korea, Iran, and ISIS.
Finance, arm and train their resistance and move on.
