The only thing worth discussing with Venezuela's corrupt leader is how and when he leaves office.

#6  I wouldn't normally be in favor of US intervention but if Maduro is being propped up by Russians and Cubans...if it gets to the point where Russians and Cubans are shooting Venezuelans...that would be all the justification Trump would need. Somehow I think it would all be over in 24 hours.

#5  How would you like to be one of the 400 Guys Putin just sent as a varangian guard for Maduro? And what about the thousands of Cuban intel and security’ advisers. Hard to see this end bloodlessly.

#1  Sounds like a lot of neocon warmongering to me. Why do we get to decide what happens in Venezuela? What business is it of ours? I'm no fan of socialism, but Jesus. This is just more "regime change" from the same geniuses that brought us the Iraq war.
