#1 Everyone can threaten us, but we can't threaten back?

Congress would "obviously" not authorize war against Venezuela

Did it authorize it in Libya or Syria? Someone is funding it.

#2 Did it authorize it in Libya or Syria? Someone is funding it. As I read this P2K, my thoughts too.

#3 "No. Congress obviously isn't authorizing war in Venezuela," Sasse said in a statement.

We'd all be incinerated in a thermonuclear tsunammi before Congress could come out of their bunker and get their collective kak together to 'declare war.'

#4 Since whe does "possible military option" mean war?

Maybe were after the OIL, and some fine Arepas.

#5 I'm opposed to bailing Venerealzuela out of the results of their own stupidity as well, but Bend Asse is only opposed because of Trump listing it as an option.

If Yeb! or the Beest had wanted to waste blood and treasure on Chavezland, Asse would be entirely in favor.

#6 I think President Trump is only playing mindf*ck, which is by the way, easy to do with the geniuses in congress and the media.

#7 Leave Venezuela alone. They voted to get themselves in this mess and they still love Chavez and think that the latest idiot is the one that fucked things up. Never mind Chavez built the system he is using.

Let them sit in their own shit and die.
