Up Shit's Creek

Post by photohause »

Venezuela
A few facts

Citizens have no private ownership of weapons.

Food has always been scarce.

Always had rolling blackouts.

Now, No power.

Water there is in supply is in jeopardy.

Matter of time until public transportation runs out of fuel...no buses.

Juan Gerardo Guaidó tries to step up

Possibilities
Guaidó tries to take over but he will need the military or the USA
The military takes over
Venezuelans may start to get slaughtered in the streets.

Open Questions
What has the involvement been of the USA in
Overthrowing Maduro
Nudging the blackout to happen

I'd say no US boots on the ground.
We can hit them with sanctions and embargos and any other economical weapons but no GI Joes on the Venezuelan ground.
History tells us they will initially be seen as liberators but I guarantee you within weeks we'll have to spend our tax money to rebuild their country's infrastructure or we'll be viewed as just Yankee imperialist.
Remember that people there are now used to the idea that they deserve everything free from government. It will become an endless tax money pit real quick.

Hand all the wealthy Venezuelans living (and safely protesting) in Weston a rifle, load 'em up on a C-130 and dump them smack in the middle of the mess. Their problem, not ours. :roll:

Sorry, but the suffering they are experiencing now is due to their own fault.
Venezuela once the wealthiest of South America is now a socialist chithole.
I find it hard to have much sympathy for them.
The USA should not get involved in any way.
That includes no asylum.

I vote to send in a mass invasion. Send in all the necessary personal and hope thy are good bullet catchers. Dump every f*ckin brain dead Zombie Libiturd in the US and let them sow what they reap. We have no shortage and will not miss any of them. :lol:

I'll pay for Bernie and AOC tickets and several of my brain dead libiturd relatives too!
