Ok does anyone actually think it's a GOOD idea that we might invade Venezuela? I know Washington D.C. loves this idea but do the people like it?

I mean...come on, guys. We're waging offensive wars in nine different countries. Do we really need to invade a tenth. Are we really worried that Venezuela is gonna attack the US?

Bolton said straight up, “ We’re taking your oil “. Of course regime change is terrible, it’s always insincere and one-sided. Be honest for a change and just blow the hell out of them then plunder, not advising or wishing for that of course.

Is the reason Trump wants to take military action against Venezuela the same reason we were in those other wars? Oil?

I see absolutely no good reason why we should invade Venezuela.

@SimplyTracie well you're using quotes out of context I can use it out of context :D

@SimplyTracie @BlueMetalChick I'm pretty sure there's a "near zero" chance that we will be invading Venezuela any time soon.

As for the Kingdom, well, I'm with you both 100% on that topic.

It will not happen. Violation of The Trump Doctrine. @BlueMetalChick

The toned down SOTU address hints to me that the President finally gets that he is skating on thin ice with the people and Capitol Hill. I doubt he will be silly enough to invade a sovereign nation and risk a fresh foreign war right now.

@whowasthatmaskedman apart from a few.notables they have been either supportive or ominously quiet on Venezuela. In fact when trumpkins said about pulling troops out of Syria the democratic party went apoplectic......I wouldn't put too much hope I'm the democrats doing the right thing
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@gol979 I dont expect them to do the right thing for the right reasons. But they now the boost a nice small war will have come election time.. They wont give him that.
gol979 · 41-45, M
@whowasthatmaskedman good point......but I think the democrats just think they will get in because they are.more polished than trumpkins. I would be surprised if they halted a.coup in Venezuela

If the U.S. ever tries to invade Mexico again im going full blown pancho villa.

@SW-User I'll join you if you let me wear one of those cool ass bandoliers.
SW-User
@BlueMetalChick u can wear two xD

There's a girl at work from Venezuela. I'd only invade to meet her family. Seriously, i couldn't imagine going to war somewhere where i have friends. Let the politicians fight it out.
SW-User
@BlueMetalChick Ah right now i see, that does make sense, thanks for explaining. I should take more of an interest in international politics.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@SW-User Your country has done well for me. You took me in when I needed it most. One of your citizens died saving my life, and another lost her arm saving my sister. You have both my admiration and my respect, Aussie.
SW-User
@BlueMetalChick I'm glad some of us were there to help you and your sister when you both needed it. You're turning out pretty good so far and i am sure things will only get better.
i think venezuela is at a real crisis point and something must be done to oust Maduro. If the uSA invaded, my worry would be that our aim is not democracy as much as it is oil.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Let the citizens there handle it themselves. They are grown assed adults. @BlueMetalChick

@jackjjackson This coming from the guy who has never met a war he didn't like and fully supports all nine illegal unconstitutional overseas military interventions across the Middle East. Too bad you didn't feel like that all the time. But no, you're perfectly content to wipe your ass with the Constitution and shit all over international law so we can start wars wherever we like and give big money to jihadists and theocratic terror states for them to help up spread those wars.

If something needs to be done about the guy the Venezualian citizens are the ones to do it. @BiasForAction

I think this sums it up pretty well
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Imsleepy It's funny cos I was just sending that meme to my sister earlier!
lightningblue · 26-30, M
didnt trump said he would never do that ? lol
lightningblue · 26-30, M
@BlueMetalChick so columbia is US friend now
why not put 50 guys before, to stop the immigration caravans ?
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@lightningblue The idea is that they'll be in Columbia and then deploy to Venezuela, I guess.
lightningblue · 26-30, M
@BlueMetalChick yeah thats clear
but my point is that they have power in columbia, and never used it during all those caravan thing in the news, going to the north
Putin would never allow it, he’s just talking shit like always
@BlueMetalChick You’re kidding right?
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Notmesam Does Russia buy oil from Venezuela? Are they allied somehow? I'd believe it, I just hadn't heard that yet.
@BlueMetalChick Yes Russia and China have been in business with Venezuela for decades. Oil, gold, etc.... Putin has already warned the US to back off...
Dlrannie · 31-35, F
No of course it’s not a good idea but as oil is involved anything is possible
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Dlrannie Ughhhhhh I've grown to hate the word.

Invading Venezuela? No, that would be such a mess. It would be prudent of the US to reassert its influence there, but a soft-power move would be far preferable. An invasion is much too radioactive.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
It’s a bad idea and will not happen. Violation of the Trump Doctrine.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@jackjjackson The Trump Doctrine? What the hell is that?
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Not START any foreign entanglements and try to wind down the existing ones. @BlueMetalChick
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@jackjjackson If that's the Trump Doctrine then why did he start another foreign entanglement in Niger as well as escalate in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria? There is no "Trump Doctrine" of winding down existing foreign entanglements. I fucking WISH that were true.

Russia would protect them
