Discussion: Pompeo Floats US Military Intervention In Venezuela: 'No Option Is Off The Table'

Brilliant. Almost the same population as Iraq, but with twice the land area, and much of that mountainous. The country teetering on the verge of civil war; and most of the surrounding countries have bad memories of U.S. intervention on behalf of dictators and corporate interests. What could possibly go wrong?

Since no options are off the table, I believe we should send Trump, with his extensive knowledge of military operations, to Venezuela.
Is he our Warrior President or not?

It gets pretty complex here. If Putin is supporting Maduro, wonā€™t we then be in direct conflict with him? And if Putin now decides that Donnie is no longer his BFF, will he start to drop documents on him? Furthermore, if Venezuela and Iran are now totally barred from the petroleum market, what will happen to the price of gasoline (the one economic indicator that most Trump supporters care about)?

From Putinā€™s view, there is one thing better than Trump in the White House ā€¦ a United States in complete conflict, with 40% of the people believing that whomever is elected in 2020 is illegitimate. And he is close to achieving that goal.

WTF, hello Republicans are you listening? Pompeo was sent out this morning on a propaganda mission. Trump thinks he and Putin are equals. Trump is a fool.

With Trump and Putin in office, people are safer traveling the world than staying in their home states.
