Everyone Has Fallen for the Lies About Venezuela

[martybegan]

The Venezuelan people need to force Chavez and Maduro to repay the billions they stole

I hate to break it to you, but Chavez is dead!

So was Cromwell. They dug him up, hung the corpse, and left his rotting head on a pike.

I’m glad we finally a president who isn’t afraid to take a stand for the people of Venezuela.

Why is it any of our business?? ...

Ahhhhhh If only Marudo o Hugo had fired a couple rounds at Poppy Bush; Venz would be a paradise like Iraq is today

I am fine with leaving Venezuela alone. Make America great again, let Venezuela be a shithole. There needs to be a place in this world for people like JoeB.

Both Russia and China are backing Maduro. That could be an issue..ya think?

They have over $100 billion invested there....giving them more say than us.

Which leaves Trump in a tough position.

His base won't let him support the "socialist" Maduro (at least for now) and his boss Putin supports Maduro

So theoretically, what should Trump be doing with this situation if he wasn't a "Putin Puppet"?

Enact sanctions that affect Maduro directly rather than the PEOPLE of Venezuela.

Engage our allies and countries in that area to find a solution.

Ya know...the kind of diplomacy we USED to do

You mean way back when Chavez was president ? Our foreign policy hasn't really changed under the last 3 presidents when people like the Koch's are writing the script

 

[the other mike]

Follow the money...( or the smell of crude oil )

 

[Marion Morrison]

C'mon Trump! Don't fall for the MIC "Regime Change" bullshit!

Much of this is coming from Pence.

Regime change works like Bullwinkle pulling a rabbit out of his hat.

In other news, I think Angelo is a Russian.

Um, The OAS is already onboard with sanctions, and most of Western Europe is as well. They are either asking for him to step down or hold new, open elections.

And how do you sanction a person directly? More importantly, how do you do it to a person who doesn't leave his own country, and has first choice to any material, foodstuffs, or weapons brought into the country?

Sanctions that aren't targeted at the dictator only make the problem worse. If you want to look at properly targeted sanctions look at the Magnitsky Act. It makes Putin and his oligarchs CRAZY
