I don’t think any regime could be worse than Maduro though

The Biden-Harris "administration" had a $25,000,000 reward for Maduro. Trump shoud get that reward and give it to the guys and gals who contributed to this mission


Trump made it 50 million… why would you only give them 25 to split

Funny how people like you and SLO Joes Bro had no great concern while he was in power doing absolutely horrendous damage in that region. Now that our president has had him removed you’re all concerned about the area.

Again, we have a long history of this in South America. It turns out bad much more often than not.


Actually, we don’t have a “long history of meddling in S America”. Unless you want to talk about letting a hundred million illegals to come into our country from there… then, yes, you are correct. THAT hasn’t ended well at all… for US.

Other than that, then we really haven’t “meddled” all that much. Why do you think the cartels, Chinese, Iranians, Russians, etc… have such a foothold there. We’ve never challenged the sovereignty of those nations, and tried to be good neighbors through the years, with very few examples to the contrary.

A lot of the time it seems we’re too good for our own good… and we seem to err on the side of NOT being seen as conquerors - which we very easily could do if desired. What other nation in the world would show the restraint we do on the reg, if they possessed our power???? NONE.

Funny how prior to Venezuela deciding not to sell oil in dollars, nobody cared what they were doing, but the minute they did, they became instant terrorist drug runners.

I was that person who didn’t have someone above for 45 years. Generally I can spot a self blowhard when I come across. You may actually be worse than him, but at least equally bad. Annoyance is a feature with you and Slow not because of your self promotion of spectacular intellect you put upon us but rather the lengths taken

Still seeking my attention just like old times.

Just can’t help yourself.

It’s glorious.

Let’s see if you are as dishonest as MoT since you aren’t him. He was not only a kid diddler and Muslim apologist but also struggled in other areas.

Name one liberal position I hold. Just one.

America seems to learn nothing from its mistakes...

I also see a lot of posts from people who know nothing, historically, about how Venezuela became a shitshow... people there didn't elect Chavez, a Socialist candidate, because things were going great for the entirety of the population... and he made things worse but "bought off" the public enough in any way he could imagine. He died before things really collapsed and Maduro was just his yes man/handpicked successor (he was a bus driver) who had much less political skill and charisma and no clue how to handle anything, other than violence. The population will not be happy with the next administration, there... or the next... or the next... and oil is the only thing country has so it will not be "de-Nationalized" under any leader without the the public rioting in the streets,

Amen

Look at our very own recidivism patterns in our country.

You realize the US has a long history of meddling with South and Central America, right? The vast majority of the time it hasn't ended well.


Which central and South American countries are not better off today than prior to US intervention?
