Venezuela opens fire again at border. 30 civilian casualties trying to get US aid

Let’s get it on yo.

If I’m watching life saving aid be burned up by the ruling party while I’m starving I’m fighting to the death with the scum bags who torched it. Really feel sorry for the people of Venezuela. Hopefully we can find some way to help them.

His security forces are also burning some of the trucks carrying aid in.

You do realize that if the UN gets involved in a fire fight, we get involved in a fire fight, too, don't you?

It would literally take mayyyyyyybe 3 hours to demolish the ruling socialists in Venezuela. 2 hours of which would be flying time

Socialism results in the government turning its guns on the people to keep them in.
We are in charge. Love us or else!!

Let the Brazilian army fight them if they want. We don't need to be wasting more American lives on other countries' domestic issues.

yes, let a country that is recovering from two socialist tyrants fix the country that is dealing with a socialist tyrant.

Socialism - it always works at first...

And another decade of occupation and rebuilding on the US taxpayers back to remake a sovereign foreign nation in our own image.

Venezuelans elected Communism into power on their own, they can get themselves out on their own.

Any Americans that wish to engage financially or militarily, sign your own asses and cash onto it and leave the rest of us out of it!

We can't have it both ways.

We're going to eventually have to choose between going all in against Maduro or backing the hell out and pray it turns out all right and there's no refugee crisis.

We need to stay the frick out.

I completely disagree. The UN is heavily populated by countries that are far more socialist than we are. The last thing Venezuela needs is more socialism to ease the problems their socialism has caused. Besides, we're the single largest contributor to the UN, so either we're going to fund socialists helping socialists or we're going to fund pushing for more free-market reforms so they can help themselves.

This is brewing like the Battle of Mogadishu on steroids.

This isn't the Middle East where they've never known more freedom (or at least haven't known it in the lifetimes of so many citizens). Venezuela was once much freer and much more prosperous, but instead of combating poverty with a framework that guided private behavior they chose to allow the government to take over private sectors (this started around 99 with socialists taking control of the federal government). With so many still knowing what a more free society is like it's far less likely to be a continuing morass like the Middle East.
