It will be extremely emotional for so many here in America when this business is shut down. One of the best uses of our military in my lifetime I do believe.


That is NOT possible.

People have no clue the hooks this has set into our culture.

You think bombing Venezuela is going to actually STOP the flow of drugs into the US?

Could not agree with you more. I only have one regret, and that is they are not bombing the homes of the narco terrorist and their manufacturing sites..... Tell the other countries from Mexico down to Venezuela that are actively participating in this game to shut it down in 18 months are we will be turning our attention to them next. Show them no mercy.....


They are not yet and they will.

I know right. Have not ever seen so many green eyes than in Mexico City or Caracas. Did I mention Argentina?

All of you "Pointless War" doves needs to shut the frick up. South America is 100% in our sphere of influence. If there is any war that is not pointless, it is this. frick Gaza and the Middle East.

Believe me, I am all about going in and ending the arterial bleed on American society caused by drug cartels. If we must take Venezuelan oil as payment until this operational cost is covered, so be it.

The illegal drug cartels must be ended now!!

It’s about time we park an aircraft carrier in the Caribbean to thwart the drug trade instead of sending them the the Straight of Hormuz

there’s no way we’re going to war with Venezuela. Striking drug boats? yes. but an actual land invasion and/or forceful removal of Maduro? Trump knows better. He’s applying maximum pressure on Maduro right now, Maduro will come to the table, and they’ll negotiate a deal that is favorable to the US.

everybody wants “peace through strength” but nobody’s got the balls to actually do “peace through strength” (except Trump).

Correct. It’s another red herring like Iraqi weapons of mass destruction.


You got that right.

And speaking of Iraq, isn’t it a peculiar coincidence that many of the nations targeted for regime change by the United States since the end of the Cold War have dared pose a challenge to the primacy of the USD as the world’s reserve currency?



Was the real reason Saddam was targeted?

Didn’t Gadaffi also want to get away from the petrodollar and use a gold backed currency?

Laughable. Venezuela has some first or second generation stripped down versions of F-16’s. And a few Russian fighters.

If anything flies out of their airspace with that carrier there….it will be shot down to protect the carrier. Different ballgame and new set of rules.

This ends those flybys.

Something like 7% of drugs smuggled into the U.S. come from Venezuela.

This is just optics that doesn’t do anything to solve the actual problem.

It’s certainly not worth the cost of devoting an entire aircraft carrier to this theater (financially and security-wise).

You and other idiots on this board don’t get it!

Venezuala has terrorist from other counties entering and then coming up the Darian Straight.

China & Iran have Huge foothold in Venexuala.

Colombia is just the producer on the grand scheme of things. Venezuala is the “trafficker” and brining in the

1. Really bad guys from abroad that can walk across our border (remember the Raghead that was interviews and said “you Americans are so stupid, you pay me to come across your border, you don’t know who I am now, but so you will know”

** Do you know where he came from??? The Middle East

Did he walk across water? Or fly himself to Mexican Border?

NO YOU IDIOT, there is a PIPELINE of legit terrorist training grounds in ME & Africa, once they are trained; they fly/ship to Caracas & then caravanned up thru the Darian Straight BY LAND

BY LAND is the fricking problem with Venezuala. They are attached by Land & they have been taken over by Chyyyna, IRAN etc…

2. Bringing in massive shipments from Fentanyl unchecked, then they can mix the Cocaine from Colombia with the Febtanyl in Ven., then ship to wherever they want and kill societies.

3. Venezuala is the communist foothold & cancer spreader of South/Central America. Of which we share the same land-mass.

BOTH, Venezuala and Raghead FagDami in NYC need to be dealt with, this isn’t which one is worse, but each situation is extremely different.

I applaud Trump for the Venezualan offensive.

My fiance laying next to me is from Caracas and if you heard the stories she & her family dealt with & how they lost their country. On top of what I said above, you’d say to blow Maduro off the earth.

This is what I voted for!
