the pretext of a humanitarian crisis.

Yeah, I guess a few thousand people starving to death isn't much of an issue for communists, but to the rest of the world, I think it would qualify as something of a crisis.

There were some Twitter videos of 4 Rigid Inflatable Assault boats moving on flat bed trucks on the island of Curacao (just off the coast of Venezuala). Might be nothing, and it might just be a Dutch Navy exercise. But it also could be some covert USN activity down there.

These boats are similar to the type used by SEALs. But the video was shot in broad daylight on a heavily trafficked street in Willemstadt. I’m hoping that if it is us that we’d at least move the craft after dark.

My opinion is that the Dutch are just trying to be prepared and the Maduro regime is getting very jittery.

When folks start eating the Zoo animals I think that qualifies as a humanitarian crisis.

IMHO....Trump should also relieve Cuba of the Castro regime and let Cuba become the great nation she can be under a free, democratic, liberty, opportunity government. Can you imagine thousands of gifted Cuban-Americans going home to make Cuba great...give them five years and Cuba will be on top of the world as will be a free Venezuela.

Free Cuba, Free Venezuela, Si!!! USA, Si!!!. Socialism, Communism, Despots, Dictators, Tyrants No!!!

How can this possibly be in the critical interests of the US?

You know, those interests that are sufficient for military action.

I contend it is not, and does not even come close.

Even if the entire county was burned to the ground and every person killed.

Any mention that Chavez imported Cubans to run Venezuela's intelligence agency, and that they are still there?

With the way things have been going, if it were secret Cuba would probably know. Only the American people wouldn’t know about it.
