fricking warhawks. Pull all our troops home and let’s circle the wagons already. Build the fricking Wall. We do not need to get intervene with the military in Venezuela. How many American lives is Venezuela worth? 0.

Trump.

He's floated the military option against Venezuela and has not ruled it out while still saber rattling the hell out of the Maduro regime with crippling sanctions, humanitarian aid that Maduro thinks is contraband and legally recognizing the opposition.

That clipboard from John Bolton with 50,000 troops in Colombia on it was no accident.

If the OP is so opposed to US involvement in Venezuela, he needs to be shitting on his lord and savior Donald Trump.

I agree.

People will denounce current military involvement in the ME but quickly call for the US to intervene in Venezuela.

Is getting involved in Venezuela worth the life of even 1 US serviceman?

The answer is no

We've been trying to save South America for more than a century. They will be what they will be, and there's nothing we can do about it.

Question for you guys:

Do we let China or Russia get a foothold in the western hemisphere?

I'm not advocating one way or the other here just throwing the question out there.

there's absolutely no reason we can't use our air superiority to help out the opposition or even roll a few tanks through the military blockades. Nobody would get hurt.

The only thing these tin pot dictators, like the bus driver, understands is getting beat over the head.

The Chinese, Russians, and the Iranians are already there.

This isn’t about meddling, nation building, or world policing. This is about us making China and Russia get out of our backyard. Trump isn’t into needless wars, but isn’t going to let others mess with us, either.

You know this for a fact?

How about the US tax dollars going to fund military intervention in a country that failed due to its own socialist policies?

I don’t care about anything outside our borders unless it poses an imminent threat. Russia and China already have influence over that shithole. Let them have it.

The mouth breathers downvoting me are likely the same filth that happily voted Bush in 2000 and 2004.

The mouth breather screaming about US involvement in Venezuela are the same idiots screaming about us leaving Syria and Afghanistan.

How the frick is Venezuela in my backyard?

That crackpot nation can't even feed itself. Russia has already owned that shite hole for years. Who gives a frick.

How many nations are on Russian border that we can call "our foothold"?

My god man it (Venny) isn't going to become some major western hemisphere juggernaut anytime soon ...

They can have that shite hole country. Mutual destruction is a great deterrent to war. We have ours; they have theirs. Nobody moves. Otherwise one day if we crowd Russia out they will feel cornered and will pounce. Seems they are about ready to do so anyways because of all the rhetoric and Bull shite spewed by NATO, both left and right, and media. I ain't willing to go to war over some shite hole that is starving. Don't buy what they are selling you.
