Should We Send the Marines into Venezuela?

I doubt that. You of course think anyone owning anything except the government as theft, so your position is worthless in this regard.

So far everyone is calling it a sham. Maduro cheated.

Again, we were stealing Cuban land to the point where 75% of arable land in Cuba was owned by foreign interests.

That's not private property, that colonialism.

I'm sure he did cheat. He cheated six years ago. But unless his people are going to take up arms against him, they are stuck with it.

We don't need to make things worse.

And we acquired it legally, and they took it away illegally. They pay up, they get their economy back.

And we don't need a few million more refugees flying across our borders.

Real, actual sanctions. The people of Venezuela will have to suffer a bit more for their mistake of electing these simps in the first place, but actual hard sanctions may speed it up a bit.

Because you decide or Trump decides?

The people there decided, and now are living with those choices. What we don't need is millions of them fleeing here.

Send in the marines

Musk is a big supporter of the Venezuelan opposition leader. The thing is that in addition to huge reserves of oil, gas, gold, iron ore, Venezuela has large deposits of bauxite. Tesla really needs it.
When looking at the motives of the profiteers, always remember that their god is the golden calf.

In the case of Tesla, the Chinese are wiping the floors of Western electric car manufacturers, producing many times cheaper and more than the rest of the world. It is clear that Musk can now only be saved by reducing production costs, where the stolen aluminum will greatly help the margin.

Send in the marines

Canadian marines? Sure why not.

Send in the marines

To do what? Shoot the insurrectionists?

Semantics. We acquired it because we set up a puppet government in 1898. They took it back when they got rid of that government and put in one of their own.

Yet, they will.

Like when Libyans were pouring into Italy.

Maduro has lost. Big. But he's refusing to give up power.

Venezuela has aligned itself to Cuba and Russia. Their incompetent management of the economy has led to 5-6 million fleeing the country, including millions into America. Some estimate that up to 8 million will flee if Maduro remains in power. Millions will come to America.

Should we send in the marines if Maduro illegally clings to power? If not, we could have 8-10 million Venezuelan immigrants in this country.

This administration is behind Maduro.

Canadian marines? Sure why not.

We're sorry, but due to hitting their carbon reduction goals, the Canadian military's rapid response units are temporarily no longer combat ready...
