Wow Debbie Downers here. Let's celebrate the win. Or are you pro-socialist and upset he won something?


Being against socialism doesn't mean you are pro launching an assault on socialist countries who have not posed a threat to us

Typical Trumper retort. No substance, just like Trump.


How about waiting until we have 200,000 in country and billions in Halliburton infrastructure contracts doing "nation building" first?

"No substance Trump". Really? Today of all days? You may not agree with the action but one thing it is not is unsubstantial.

Thats a bold claim that would be myopic at best.

Looks like we have successfully removed a socialist commie illegitimate leader to celebrations of "Venezuela liberdad!"

If we are going to keep it dang simple, we look to have done well and had a great strategic win.

The "no new wars" president strikes again


Not a war, a mission, and the Venezuelans are really happy about this, ecstatic actually. But yet it bothers you for some reason. Unbelievable.

US won't be administering Venezuela for years. Won't cost us anything. Oil companies will help reimburse what we spend there.

The substance was popping the boiling hemorrhoid regime in Latin America.

No substance would be being passed out on Rohoboth Beach for 4 years, allowing God knows who to ineffectively run the United States of America.

Sorry your socialist utopia was toppled. You should tell all of the people dancing in the streets and rejoicing how this is actually a bad thing.

I know the ******s on TV are going to be working overtime to spin this one for you.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Trump is doing well by stressing how we are not spending money on/in Venezuela. Dodging MSM attacks before they can even be launched

I appreciate your response. The "lazy MSM" comment is fluff, as I assure you my thought processes to not originate from and are not exacerbated by the media, mainstream or otherwise.

I don't believe Maduro and Hernandez are the same. Hernandez was convicted of his crimes and subsequently pardoned. I have a problem with that, and with the seemingly clueless response given as an explanation for it. I am not a fan of presidential pardons regardless of the party in power.

As stated elsewhere, Venezuela is far less of a drug threat than some other countries that we have not entered. The current self-defense argument seems far weaker than your examples from prior administrations. And far weaker than a similar argument we could use against Mexico. I sure as hell hope we don't enter Mexico and capture the leader. Or every other country that presents some threat to us.

I believe in our nation, and part of thet belief comes from doing things right, not just doing things because we have power and want to.

Okay, what threat did they pose to the United States? And don't say drugs because there are several other countries closer in proximity and way more responsible for drugs flowing into this country

If one were to put a cost on the impact of drugs and human trafficking running through Mexico the past 5 years, what would it be? Wars have been fought for much less in economic terms.

Good point being made that the wealth we pull from the ground will repay us but is also going to build up the people of Venezuela

And on top of finding Venezuelans protesting the attacks, media talking heads are now spinning hard this being all about Oil. Everything is right on cue.

Trump just explained what I had explained to you on Hernandez. You can choose not to listen to it or disregard it, but the rationale has been provided.

And in regards to your assessment of how involved Venezuela is in drugs, your assessments are faulty, incorrect. And it's absolutely an MSM talking point as it's absolutely false.

Are the actual leaders of those countries directing and administering the drug trade? Also, the drug flow from thos countries comes from countries like Venezuela

Those other countries (Mexico and Columbia come to mind) have leaders who were elected in legitimate (or at least not clearly fraudulent) elections.

I don't think this is accurate. I think Maduro's appointed VP is who has been sworn in. She has already spoken with Rubio and, at first glance, is playing ball with us.

We better get a good ROI on all this. I hope we soon hear the left crying about stealing oil and precious metals. Maduro has been a geopolitical thorn in our side for a long time. Most notably the backdoor oil trade with Iran and China.

Which is how Trump is very smart right now. He isnt denying it. He's saying that money will be made. We won't pay for anything without being repaid and that then the wealth is all to go back to Venezuelans
