But but I thought we were helping the people…

Really seems to there was no plan after the raid, now there’s a power vacuum and factions are going to jockey for position.

Will be interesting to see if the people there actually end up better off.

Would you help free your country from a dictatorship like Maduro? Knowing the risk if you caught? I’m leaning to say I doubt you would.


We all know that answer for him. LOL.

Also the French Resistance during WW2 or any resistance in Europe at the time against the Nazi’s. You don’t believe they knew the risk of what would happen when they was caught?


Not even remotely the same things. In WWII, we wouldn’t get rid of hitler but leave all of the other Nazis in charge to do as they please. That’s what’s happening here.

People are acting as if Venezuela has been freed. It hasn’t, it’s being run by the same regime.

Back door negotiations have been ongoing for weeks. Don't listen to what she says, watch what she does. She is serving at the pleasure of DJT and she knows it.

I am, and I’m watching her hunt down the people who helped us. What are you watching?

If she’s serving the pleasure of Trump then why is she doing this? I would imagine he told her not to do that, right?

Just a couple of examples in case you forgotten when you’re trying to force an invader or a corrupt government that’s in control. You call it a Pandora’s box when in reality it’s the price for freedom.


You missed the point.

The Pandora's Box is that "freedom" often never comes. It's just one revenge regime after another. This has been particularly common in South and Central America.

Your premise that all was right and good prior to Maduro being arrested

What? That's beyond retarded, even for this board.

Maduro was a piece of shite. That just increases the likelihood that the next regime will match his energy.

I’m not seeing the Pandora’s Box. Are things in Venezuela worse now, for America, than they were a few months ago? They appear to be better. And they are going to get even better when the Cubans leave because they are not getting paid.

We don't know who is going to replace Maduro and what happens to/replaces them, etc.

The founding fathers risked everything. They opened Pandora’s box as well.

My God, some of y'all are worse than 18 year olds with their instant gratification. All your “no plan” bullshite.

Knew this was going to happen


Watched War Room this morning and reporter/journalist Oscar Blue Ramirez told Bannon the celebrations being shown of Venezuelans celebrating are not happening in Venezuela. Oscar Blue said the commie government told the citizenry if you go out on the streets celebrating Madura's capture by the US military you will be arrested and incarcerated.

You get downvoted because pricks in this country like to see Venezuelans die for no particular reason. It's sick.
