Was the speech about Venezuela and something changed before the broadcast?

Just very odd that not even a mention of the largest military buildup in the Caribbean in our lifetime, very odd.

I wonder if Maduro said "no mas" and we will be hearing very soon that he is stepping down?

I suspect there have been extensive discussions about the logistics of Maduro leaving for the last few weeks.

Or - maybe - Tucker Carlson doesn’t have very good sources.

It seems pretty obvious we want regime change

That doesn't mean we want war

It looks like we're trying to achieve it by exhausting other means first before going to war

I don't think anyone should have a problem with that

Isn't that because the people voted for change and Maduro didn't cede power?

I heard it was a 19 minute speech about not going to war with Venezuela.

yep, dassit.

The drugs thing is indeed a real thing, but is mostly 'marketing' for a President who is always concerned about brand and marketing (I say this as a neutral thing, not necessarily a negative).

I’m not a huge supporter of regime change, but that dude clearly lost the election and refused to leave.

So you're saying there's a chance he will still declare war to satisfy all our new board friends?

Its more than that.... Aside from Maduro's participation in international drug trafficking, Maduro is allowing Chinese influence into the region and he's also cozy with Iran. Selling them oil and violating sanctions and allowing Islamic terrorists to live and train on Margarita Island.
Im good with cleaning up our own hemisphere.

People also forget Venezuela is not far from US territory.


Posters in Lake Charles are further away from me than that and I live in Louisiana.

winner winner chicken diner, tucker doesn't have sources he just makes schit up. it's about constantly monetizing tucker carlson, it's about, eyeballs on his youtube channel, or subscribers on candace owens podcast. nothing is real. tucker carlson is just a character he plays on you tube and used to play on faux news.

USVI would have to be it, and that’s 500+ miles from Venezuela’s islands in the Caribbean.

There is no point in Louisiana even close to that far from LC.

I was wondering if he knew of some secret territory we had never heard of.

Maybe he thinks we still own the Canal. Or he’s referencing our embassies in Bogota and Guyana

Sting operation to see who's squeeling to Tucker. That or intentional click bait from Tucker, most likely.
