Don’t you think it’s worth it to stop the ocean of drugs coming from that country and to get rid of that POS dictator. Those people need a champion to free themselves. A country with the largest oil reserves in the world should not have their population living in squalor.

He should invade Venezuela and Mexico. Take those cartels out and take the damn countries. Friend of mine from Venezuela. His dad had a decent job with an oil company so he was one of the protected ones. Things change, his family was evicted by an army tank. Had time to grab some clothes and get out. Screw Maduro.

I want you to think about your position and consider the same if the rest of the world decided collectively to invade the United States

I have a few good friends who still live there. Their lives suck. It’s impossible to make money and everything is blocked by the government. They’re isolated from the world. They’d love to see Maduro get ousted but aren’t certain about who comes next.

I’m sure the CIA already has someone in mind.

Administration policies absolutely have significant effect on gas prices! I would retort you cannot be so ignorant and foolish to believe otherwise, but you sky-screaming, TDS liberals are incapable of viewing the big picture.

Gas prices dropped drastically during Trump's first term, and shockingly, are doing so again. Guess you freaks will say it is an auto-pen admin "lag"...

Nah, not really. Sets a bad precedent. Imagine someone doing that to American citizens.

The Drug trade and war on drugs is probably more violent and dangerous than the drugs themselves.

And this oil!

You wouldn't believe how oily this oil is!

I know some people, very smart people, the smartest some would say, and they say this oil is so oily...well, you remember Exxon Val-deez? Oilier than even that.

I sure hope putting a drunk LARPing adulterous television host in charge of the most elite military on earth doesn’t have any negative consequences

You weren't saying a word when Obama was droning anonymous 'terrorists ' his entire presidency. As usual, your "concern" is highly selective.

Why are we in a war with Venezuela again?

Because we're swapping Ukraine for Venezuela. The US wants Russian and China influence out of the western hemisphere. That's why the US is giving so many concessions to Russia in Ukraine. It's why Europe is so upset with Trump. European leaders wanted that oil and gas area of Ukraine. Under the guise of NATO, they thought the US would just swoop in like we always do and take care of it. Trump said not this time. You don't get to sit back and enjoy all the perks of socialism while we provide your military protection.

In return, Maduro will be on the first plane to Moscow if an agreement is reached. Our posturing is just expediting the situation. The US is shifting more to a Pan-American alliance. There's a reason we bailed out Argentina. There's a reason why a leftist president in Bolivia just got arrested after the new "Capitalist for All" president was installed, I mean elected. There's a reason we just removed a 40% tariff on Brazilian beef.

There's a shift happening. Pay attention not to this "narco" war. That's the distraction. What's really shifting is keeping China's Belt and Road initiative out of South America.

Observing the TDS skyscreams across the internet is hilarious.

I hope you feel better now.

I am not a RtS apologist by any means, but he definitely called out Obama and past administrations for stuff like this.
