Agreed. Or North Korea! The soldier who fled to South Korea who was filled with parasites?

Speaking of North Korea.

You earlier voiced a "let it be" Buddhist type of philosophy as opposed to interventionism and it completely made sense to me WRT US-Venezuela relations. It got me wondering if your claim that "eventually the people would get tired of it and kick him out" was valid when a government has no compunction against total brutality like what is going on in North Korea. I could see that situation as continuing for as long as we live and longer. There can be no doubt that generations have and will suffer under the Kims. A nuclear North Korea that exports its tech is also a big concern.

Also, what about all those lives lost and diminished while we wait for the pot to boil?

I'm not challenging the idea that the US only makes things worse because we step in for the profits and justification of our military industrial economy. Meaning, we step in for the wrong reason and of course, things get worse. Yet, waiting for enough people to suffer until there is nothing else to do but die in the effort to overthrow a tyrant seems a bit extreme. Is there not a middle ground?

Someone point me to the post where anyone on RIU advocated for allowing anyone to be forced to do something against their will? Other than the bullshit "Taxation is theft".

Did this start with the charges against "Hand Job Bob"?

It really is that simple too. If they had no oil at all nobody would give 2 hoots or a holler about the place.

You're getting warmer...

Even more important is which currency Venezuelan oil will be linked to. Follow ALL the money.

It's probably not a coincidence "USA naughty list countries" are the ones who try to escape the Federal Reserve plantation.

That's when the UN steps in. Let the world community condemn and pressure Maduro. Instead Russia and China are warning "Hands off".

hmm

China and Russia are hardly what I think of as middle ground when it comes to freedom and human rights. But OK, I see your point. Rather than consensus we should wait until even China sees a crisis. Maybe I don't agree. I don't have an answer either.

No other South American country is going to welcome our intervening. Think about it. Once we are in we set up bases and we don't leave. Who wants that in their backyard?

Can't they just throw down a magic piece of paper that says "Monroe doctrine" on it and create the intervention reason?

“If you serve black people it’s the same as if a prostitute gets raped”

That has to be the worst argument of all time

Would you force a black sex worker to serve you or your wife (while you watch) against his/her wishes or do you think people have a right to use their own discretion regarding who they will do business with ?
