So Bin Laden? We launched a military action to arrest & execute him that took place inside a friendly country.
Actually he said end forever wars with peace through strength like a strong president can and should do
For me, it really isn't about what is or isn't in those "files" at this point.
We were already in a "foreign entanglement" with Venezuela for the past decade for all the reasons previously listed in this thread.
Actually you really don’t unless you meet the qualifications to attain citizenship or residency in another country. That usually means money.
Forward Operating Base. Like when Russia tried to turn Cuba into a missile base.
There have been few if any celebrations in the streets. The reports say most streets are deserted except for military checkpoints. We got Maduro, but it looks like the regime is still there so far.
I don't think the end result that we're seeking is to "arrest/kill" Maduro, it's facilitate a regime change and there's never been a nice, neat way to do that. We'll detain him long enough for the new group to start purging the old group and then turn him over to the new group and let them "arrest/kill" him .
This is the epitome of naivety.
You can't separate families, liberals heads would explode.
I think that’d be a good discussion to have. Ideally decades ago. But I’m not sure how much of an expansion this is? The bringing him in alive is I guess. But we just decided to take Gadaffi out not that long ago. Depending on how sure we are that Madurai lost the last election, I could see an argument that this is less of a reach than just siding with rebels and taking somebody out.
Have you ever seen a navy ships brig location? I hope he doesn't get sea sick, because he will now.
Based on this post, it seems like you support the concept that the US can decide how it wants other countries to operate from both political and economic perspectives.
I read a report that Maduro's wife and grown children are active and complicit participants in his illicit and illegal acts and also instrumental in stomping out any domestic opposition before it gains momentum.
Referencing GITMO as a historical justification is wild.
Not on a current ship, but I’ve seen them in a couple of museum ships. It didn’t look like fun.
China was doing exactly that, exploiting an economically broken country.
Was mainly referencing the Venezuelans living abroad openly celebrating. I've seen a few reports of civilians pulling down giant posters of Maduro in Caracas but I'm sure that will be quelled until new people are in charge like the lady who actually won the last election.
Yep when you’re the baddest MF on the block you apply the rules as you see fit.
We are back in the business of regime changes.
Was that the O.K. Oil Company that bought Uncle Jed's oil? Never knew they operated in Venezuela but I did read where Commerce Bank of Beverly Hills had their foot in the door down there.
It doesn’t look like it. Trump said we are working with the current VP and not with the opposition. It looks like the regime stays.
It was a flippant post.
Regime changes are like the 3rd down QB draw out of the shotgun. You keep running it until it works.
It is crazy to see justification like this when I am confident many have lost their collective shít in the past and will lose their collective shít in the future when a Democrat does something similar.
