I suppose it was obviously just a matter of time. Here we go.

Already announced in the Trump thread, but this subject is worthy of its own thread.

It is glorious to see the massive meltdown of leftists on Twitter this morning. Cool

Venezuela's vice president says she wants the people to take to the streets. I hope they all do and are waving American flags and shouting "Viva Trump!", "Viva USA!"

Kamaltoe and Somali-Tim would have done nothing.

China has to apoplectic right now.

Fox is reporting he's just been indicted in New York. Why the hell would they take him to that liberal cesspool New York?

I read the other day that Chinese oil tankers were enroute to Venezuela, and I thought that things might be getting interesting down there. Curious if they've turned around and headed home yet.

I look at this also as a play on the chessboard of world politics. Russia & China have been supportive of Venezuela, will they come to any aid! NO!!

Most of us don’t want involvement in a long term war, this won’t be. I saw an article where Biden met with & called Gonzolas the ‘winner’ of the last election, but of course would never do anything about it.

My son is down there on a ship, he’s good at slapping around miscreants as needed.

Good question. Gitmo would be better.

Marco Rubio has been nothing short of fantastic, he is setting himself up to make a great President. This operation will also put the squeeze on Cuba.
