He was asked a question. Specifically about options. He answered.

The difficult part is finding a video where media didn't edit out the question asked.

Boosie, before running your mouth, can you please actually read the transcript? He did not threaten shite. Does your mind comprehend how bro the phrase "if necessary" is?

the video I posted was exactly how it went down. I was watching live.

It was really strange how he brought up Venezuela. It was like he wanted to threaten them.

Why would either of them get involved????

There have been civil wars in South America since the Spaniards left.

We have no reason to intervene and certainly no reason to take military action endangering US troops.

Trumpkins disagree because--well because Trump would do it.


Oil and another toe hold in the Americas.

Then we can deal with them if they are threat.

The Monroe Doctrine said nothing of Civil wars.

You people don't care how many wars we are in.

Let me guess what he said. Some vague generalities and a tough guy machismo mention of using the military.

Par for the course for this guy. Thank god he capitulates to true, quiet alphas like Mattis and McMaster.

didn't catch what the President said or am not aware of context. All I know is that the U.S. always has the military option to "correct" situations or protect our interests, especially if it's happening in our own back yard. A U.S. President should never take the military option off the table.

"Leaving all options on the table" is not a threat



jesus you people are stupidly ridiculous


when does 'military option' equal anything other than a veiled threat since our military options frickING INVOLVES THE MILITARY.


Hey venez, our military option is to come in and build houses for your people...no...really our military is not threatening at all in any way shape or form.

No, he said we already "have" a military option. Which is the same thing as a threat.

It does mention this, though:

A puppet monarch is a majority figurehead who is installed or patronized by an imperial power in order to provide the appearance of local authority, while allowing political and economic control to remain among the dominating nation.

No, it isn't. Trump's position on military action has been the same since he was a candidate. He never takes anything off the table, be it nukes or anything else. He's said that as a businessman, he leaves all options open.

Trump has threatened no one. Personally, I think he should just let them completely implode. The people voted for these con men, and it's a great modern day case study for what socialism devolves into.

2018 and 2020 will be great for conservative candidates when their opponents get called out for lauding a place that will be going up in flames.

I literally said the same thing earlier in the thread.

It's how he operates and that's leaving all options open until the matter is closed.

Why take away leverage when he doesn't have to?

Why would he even say we have military options in Venezuela???

The establishment agenda since before 9/11 was regime change in places where the Petro Dollar was being threatened and Central Banks refused to align with the international banking cabal (among other things). Among the places where the establishment agenda is regime change included Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Iran, Syria, North Korea and Venezuela.

All Trump is doing is carrying on with that establishment agenda, like Obama did before him and Bush before him.

All Trump is doing is planting the seed that if Venezuela refuses to get in line with the fascist establishment that controls this country, there will be a heavy penalty to pay.

Who do you think is fomenting the current unrest over there?
