RUSSIA has secretly installed nuclear missiles in Venezuela a US politician has sensationally claimed in a chilling echo of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Republican congressman Mario Diaz-Balart said he believes Vladimir Putin's hidden nukes are now a direct threat to the "national security" of the United States. He made his astonishing allegations hours after Venezuela was pushed to the brink of civil war when opposition leader Juan Guaido called for rival Nicolas Maduro to be ousted from office.

Diaz-Balart told Fox News if Maduro stays in power it could be "an open door for the Russians and for the Chinese and for others to increase their activity against our national security interest."

Journalist Tucker Carlson then asked: "Are you suggesting they are going to invade?”

“The closest we ever came to nuclear war was because the Russians put missiles, right, nuclear missiles in Cuba,” replied Diaz-Balart.

“Are you saying the Russians will put nuclear missiles in Venezuela?” Carlson asked.

“What I am suggesting is that they are already there,” answered Diaz-Balart, without offering any evidence to back up his claim.

Perhaps a misunderstanding. Those nuclear suitcases are just being repurposed to hold Maduro’s escape money.

If The Sun says so it must be truth.

I think he’s referring to the Russian bombers which have landed in Venezuela?

“Are you suggesting they are going to invade?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We are already being invaded, the Russians and Chinese don’t need to bother.

My thinking on this stuff is totally out of step with what I am supposed to think.

1) I do not think Venezuela is going to invade the US, either with millions of Cuban troops or with millions of Venezuelan troops, or millions of Russian troops.

2) I do not think Russia plans to start a nuclear war with us. How would that benefit them?

All reasonable questions. It would make sense to address it to politicians.

However one feels about the goings on in eastern Europe, NATO has been poking the Russian bear. In Venezuela there is this push for regime change. Russia supports the current leader and probably sees this as an opportunity for them to poke back.

Once a country acquires nukes, it pretty much guarantees those in power, remain in power. See NK, Pakistan, India, Iran, and probably Cuba.

I don’t get it.

3,300 people invade us EVERY SINGLE NIGHT:

How am I supposed to care about what happens on another CONTINENT..?

For the first time in my life, I went into a pawn shop and not ONE of the four clerks in there spoke English.

I do NOT mean they only spoke accented English.

I mean it was clear that their daily job did NOT include speaking any form of English.

FILL Venezuela up with nukes, great..!

Just get rid of all the freaking Mexicans.

Russkies must have bought the plans from the Chinese, who probably stole from US. And why do they limit pilot vision in their aircraft?

Good question. Maybe they couldn’t figure out how to build it with enough strength to put bigger windows in.

Mario Diaz-Balart is an idiot and a liar.

All who believe him are just idiots.

The insanity among the NeoCons is off the charts. Unfortunately, Trump appears to have turned things over to them.
