Man would be incredible if we installed our own preferred guy in there. Huge win if it ever happened

quote:


The Trump administration discussed plans to overthrown Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro with some of the country's military brass, according to a report.

A coup attempt was the focus of several conversations between an U.S. career diplomat and military personnel claiming to represent a few hundred officers similarly dissatisfied with Maduro's leadership, the New York Times reported.

My doctrine if I ever became prez:

You install socialism in your country (whether through democracy or iron fist) America will overthrow that socialist govenrment

People are literally starving down there. Venezuela is teetering on the brink of "failed state" territory if it hasn't already reached that point. Socialism is what destroyed that country's economy and yet idiots want to see that economic system reign supreme here in the United States.

Yeah, meddling in other countries has always worked great.

I hope this is fake news.

I'm pretty sure that the oil is collateral security pledged to China to cover loans.

I wouldn't mind if we gave weapons and intelligence support to a military coup, as long as China doesn't see repayment of their debt. Otherwise, Venezuela can burn and China can lose that loan repayment.

But the American envoy attended at least three meetings held from last fall “purely on listening mode," and the talks collapsed because the U.S. did not provide material support or guidance, according to the newspaper. A number of the plotters were also arrested by Maduro's government.
Looks like we missed our chance.

Would’ve been a huge win, hopefully another opportunity arises in the near future. The folks down there desperately need to kill this tyrant. Venezuela sits on a gold mine and those socialists completely wasted it.

Agreed. I wouldn’t be opposed to us just sending the military in and taking over. Make Venezuela a US territory and appoint a military governor. We use oil there to pay for the whole thing and tell anyone that has a problem with it to frick off

Unbelievable.

Maybe we should install a military governor in Alabama and see how the populace reacts first.

People in Alabama arent starving and oppressed. Our poor people are obese.

I find nothing wrong with colonization, especially if it improves the lot of everyone involved. You aren’t entitled to land on this planet that you cant defend.

We could make a movie about it here in Baton Rouge. And give the filmmakers $2 billion in tax credits.

I hope it works out better than Obama's coup against Turkey's president.



















Just kidding, we all know that coup was an inside job.

Why? The strong have been making the weak their bitch since the dawn of time. Why should we not? Modern society and it’s comforts have decayed our killer instinct. Hence the leftist fruitcakes running around everywhere.
