You have a point.

But I believe there's different responses to different scenarios.

Who was in charge of the country on Iraq?

The same shadow government that is currently running the grand illusion.

Different responses for different agendas.

That said, this admin has been better on not adding to the list, and dialing back in many cases.

Let's hope they don't bring Venezuela into the mix...

If they don't, I'll send kudos to them for foreign policy which has been so far acceptable.

If he delivers on promises (to dial back more) , I'll send my praise.

U.S. military joins Brazil army exercises in Amazon

This got my attention back in 2017 since it’s pretty much inedit and Venezuela is relatively close to Amazonia.

I guess it’s another of those ‘wait and see’ boring games...

I too think the democratically elected President of Venezuela should resign in favour of a man who has won no election, is not even in the country and is recognised only by the treasonous "government in exile".

Guaido, a total unknown in Venezuela proper will surely improve things for Venezuela with his shock therapy capitalist policies of allowing foreign businesses to loot the nation.

Opinion based on trends of our Latin America intervention.

1 Argentina
2 Brazil
3 Chile
4 Costa Rica
5 El Salvador
6 Guatemala
7 Nicaragua
8 Panama
9 Paraguay
10 Peru
11 Uruguay
12 Venezuela

Edit, keep in mind El Salvador was over fruit.

Venezuela has the most oil of any country on earth.

If we're willing to be so petty over fruit, I do not trust our intentions with oil, history has shown that's a rookie mistake.

I still think it's the people of Venezuela who have to force him out of office if they want him gone. Given the US Track record of meddling in South America... Stay out of it, would be my advice.

Ah you mean how the so called "people" forced out gaddafi? how has that worked for Libya after 10 years? not so grand.Venezuela wont be any different expect no radical jihadists but radical guerrilla groups.

Keep in mind, the trump the clown has placed the same NeoCons, Interventionists in his admin whom were threatening him in 2016. I found that as irnoic.

Now Its being exposed that MSM outlets lied about the bridge being in Venezuela.
Full of Holes

Construction of the bridge was finished in 2016, amid already heated tensions between the two countries. But Colombian and Venezuelan authorities could not reach an agreement to open it. Nearby bridges were already being used to smuggle in goods and fuel from Colombia to Venezuela. You can see the Tienditas Bridge here on Google Maps

That is basically the same lies how they told you about Syria/Libya now they reapting the same script in Venezuela.

Exactly Guaido, a unknown in Venezuela sounds all good on paper but how in reality will he able to allege fix Venezuela's core issues? Americans only care about one thing and that is military/regime changes they never have a clear post war post regime plans.

Look at the Balkans/Libya/Iraq both these countries are all still mess.

Focus on healthcare? What? Obamacare and the Dems solved that issue, remember?

Screw the past, let's learn from it and focus on what's in front of us.

How can we simultaneously screw the past, AND learn from it?

Typically when one says screw something, they mean to completely disregard the thing.

Context sir.

I was responding to a poster trying to deflect from the present by saying "so and so's administration does it".

Hence why I prefaced with whataboutism.

Which is precisely why history continues to repeat itself.

a reply to: CriticalStinker

It's should be clear by now that the US dosen't learn from the mistakes of the past.

A massive national debt and a trickle down economy, with tariffs on our most favored trading partners.

What could possibly go wrong....

a reply to: olaru12

Everyone can admit that our country has severe problems.

The issue is no one is willing to admit anyone in their team is complicit.

Such an odd state of affairs when the writing has been on the wall for decades.

The Trump admin is embarrassing himself by attacking German Automakers by suggesting and claiming that they werent AMERICAN Enough.
