#1 Maduro is concerned about domestic troubles which are none of our business. Period. Their crude oil is of lower quality anyway. But g-damn, can't the USA stay out of things for a day or two?

#2 ..if they hit Colombia, probably not. We'll be busy supplying the Colombians with what resources they need to clean up the problem on aisle 8. Been tight for decades with the government in Bogota dealing with drugs and their muscle FARC. Helped moved the country to a solid democracy.

#3 Watch the isolationist Left in this country change its tune the instant they do the electoral math.

They'll see that Venezuelan emigres in Florida are persuading moderate and liberal latinos there to vote Republican, tipping the state red for 2020.

#4 Jesus they're just not going to stop meddling in other countries, are they? Stop it. Just stop.

We know the "Venezuelan opposition" is a puppet of the State Department, right? Because it is.

#5 Hey Herb, there are many brands of decaf that are just as tasty as the real thing. We are not 'meddling' if we give assistance to a willing (say) Columbia. Besides, the 'stash was just let go. I don't think the 82nd will be spooling up anytime soon.

#6 Puppets! NeoCon Warmongers! Military-Industrial Complex! Invasion! World Police!

See? My Herb-Bot works just as good as the real one

#7 Sigh.

Time was, there was such a thing as Rantburg U. You could learn something. Now, all there are are childish insults I could get from Reddit or Youtube. No refutation of my points. No arguments. No learning anything.

Times change, I guess.

#8 We learn from you. And are better men and women for it.

#9 No learning anything.

Mr. McCoy, you started the insult exchange. And while I have one of your posts saved for future reference, I deeply resent how much you have deliberately coarsened our exchange here, and how often you repeat exactly the same points without absorbing anything whatsoever from your interlocutors.

You are starting your repeated process toward a time out. Each time it begins with this pantomime of the sadness of a longtime Rantburger, then proceeds to open insult of our vileness as a group, so unlike the pure souls of Rantburg’s salad days almost two decades ago. But I actually have been here almost that entire time, and I can tell you that back in the early days your nonsense would have regularly resulted in you being verbally flayed and rolled in salt. We are much politer now.
