#22  You can't sit on the fence when Russia is digging in your backyard.

Succinctly said, European Conservative. It is being said that President Maduro was ready to leave the country the other day, airplane on the tarmac, when the Russians told him to stay.

#21  Of course digging in Russia's backyard gets yours dug over as well.

#19  As for those who attack us. Their country needs to look like the surface of the moon, patrolled by flamethrower and autocannon armed autonomous death machines.

#18  I will agree to one reason for us to invade Venezuela. IF and ONLY IF we are to invade, they must become a US territory with an American governor and in no less than 30 years, they must hold a vote to become a full US state or be totally cut free.

Those are the only conditions we should invade someone who has not directly attacked us. And no, I'm not a Neo-Con. I'm the sole member of the Imperialist Warmonger Party and I believe we should conquer the world, using this process. You want the big US Daddy to save you, you gotta pay the price.

#17  So we're going to invade Venezuela to protect the interests of US corporations? Is this some kind of bad left-wing joke out of the 1960s?

Jesus Christ I'm no friend of socialists. But fuck, what the intelligence community is doing in Venezuela is wrong, wrong, wrong. Stay the hell out of their business. America first.

#16  In Maduro Venezuela, panning shoots you.

#15  So are there a lot of neo-cons on Rantburg?

Nah, we're more like Ghengis-cons. Death to our enemies, both foreign and bureaucratic! America, F**K YEAH!
(sorry. I get carried away)

Look, Venezuela is going down whether we do anything or not. And I doubt we are, given that our Intel Community seems too preoccupied with overthrowing Trump to get involved elsewhere. Plus, they seem to be ineffective wankers.

Anyone familiar with the history of Central/South America has seen this movie:
Commie Strongman takes over "For The People!!"
Strongman gives out free stuff, messes up the economy.
Everyone unhappy except Strongman & cronies who get rich.
Anti-commie Strongman takes over, free helicopter rides, better economy.
Wash, rinse, repeat.

#14  Do you people actually support overthrowing foreign governments that never attacked us?

2010 Venezuela Seizes Oil Rigs Owned by US Company

2017 Venezuela seizes GM plant as crisis escalates

This has been a long time coming, Erb.

#12  Punt like an Oakland Raiders kicker on this one - it's their problem, not ours.

Of course, the Great Satan (us) is going to get blamed regardless of what we do or don't do.

#11  I would strongly support a global approach to #10.

#10  We should not send the military, we should pass out popcorn and watch. These people need to fix their own problems. Then they can't whine about it that we didn't fix it right when they line up behind a new dictator.

#9  Neo-Cons *Snicker* wrong - decade, tool. Guaido was elected. Maduro was faked into the position, but you know and disregard that. That makes you a commie symp.

#8  Herb is pretty obviously a commie symp

#7  Look, the media and US intelligence community are trying to topple a government right now. Crap like this just plays into their hands. "They're killing journalists, OMG it's an emergency, we have to invade them or we'll lose!"

So are there a lot of neo-cons on Rantburg? Do you people actually support overthrowing foreign governments that never attacked us?

#5  can we bring that game here

#4  ...no just posting another example of Freudian Projection of the Left. Scroll today to see who the real racist, anti-semite, et al are. The Left here denounces Trump for inciting violence against the Legacy Infotainment Enterprises. In reality, its their own that shoots first those that don't carry the party narrative.

#3  So we are just posting pro-coup propaganda now?

#2  How does one score this game?
Do miss, wing, hit, kill take different point values? Are the points accumulated per firing or can you kill one and wing another and get the points for both with the same round?

#1  Well...yeah.
