Build a wall...around Venezuela. Send all avowed socialists to live there. Let them work it out.

Sean Penn and Jim Carrey were reportedly outraged about this statement.

The head of the Organization of American States joined President Trump in holding out the threat of a military intervention there to restore democracy and ease the countrys humanitarian crisis. The old nation building trick. - Tom

It's the Colombians who are picking up the bulk of the problem, and Colombia just isn't that big a country. Here's what the problem is:

Strange that we haven't heard a peep from the EU about this genuine emigration crisis. They're usually pretty shrill about this sort of thing, aren't they?

John Kennedy and Dean Rusk really believed the OAS could be effective. They helped to found it. I’d like to see the OAS put its charter (and character) to the test; our part in it should be to observe and see what happens. They all habla 3rd-worldese; we, not so much.

Correction: Kennedy initiated Alliance for Progress, which was to have been more economic, as an adjunct to the OAS, which had been founded a few years prior.

No. If a nation’s citizens won’t stay and fight for it, we should not go and fight for it. Talking, diplomacy, santions, OK.
To: Savage Rider; Steely Tom
Even if we have a good plan that would have been worthy of the 50s, we are always tempted to nation-build afterward.
We do everything bass-ackwards.
But with Trump?
Who knows?

We have no interests there. It is a self-made hellhole now — and now a GREAT example of what socialism gets you.

Okay, do it and then send every citizen home to rebuild their country. 600,000 from the US.

Military intervention would last a few minutes. Colombia’s military is quite effective and other than intel..perhaps...there’s no need to get involved. The Maduro thugs will throw down their weapons immediately.

Lots of people moving from Venezuela to Columbia, because
so many of them are Columbians. Venezuela has experienced massive illegal immigration from Columbia. The migrants came to Venezuela (which used to be more Caucasian in demographics) from Columbia for economic reasons, and then helped Chavez come to power.

NO, we are isolationists now. We should cut the military to nothing.

I keep thinking about the USA-Castro debacle:
Had the US taken Castro out with extreme prejudice, like we should have when we had the opportunity (i.e., April, 1961), the USA, Mexico, the Carribean and all of South America would probably be much better places to live!
Soviet Communism 90 miles south of Miami has been an absolute disaster! Our weakness has cost the peoples of the USA, Mexico, Cuba and South America dearly! Both in terms of human life and treasure!
Perhaps someday a much more learned historian than I will write a book about that colossal mistake!

Give all to Cuba. They started it.
