1. Isn't that an international crime?

Can he be impeached for this along with the rest of his crimes?

4. Unfortunately it has been a shadow policy of the US since 1953

when we overthrew a democratically elected Prime Minister, Mohammad Mosaddegh, in Iran to steal their oil. It's never really about "humanitarian moral obligation."

[Guilded Lilly]

2. There is so much corruption and evil with this wretch and his administration...

EVERY single day that it is impossible to focus on everything he does to destroy democracy, the rule of law and basic human decency.

Overwhelm us with treasonous acts and bigotry, misogyny and racism and we are kept in a constant state of sheer chaos and outrage.

7. It has been this way for a long time. Every time big business wants another country's

resources, their bought politicians in our government whitewash our foreign interventions with "humanitarian crisis" or "bringing democracy" or other such BS. And most of us swallow it hook, line, and sinker.

A good author that describes our foreign policy destructiveness is John Perkins - "Confessions of an Economic Hitman"

8. Going to war with Venezuela would be like

Jumping into a viper's nest head first.

It would also destabilize Latin America.

10. Please, please good people of DU

Do not let the disgust towards the orange Buffon cloud are ability to analyze and search for the truth.
Orange buffoons words “why are we not going to Venezuela, they have the oil and they are on our back yard”, nowhere does he say “let’s take Venezuela”
Even the buffoon knows that the USA will never take over Venezuela. Venezuela today is ruled by Cuba, Putin wants Venezuela, the Venezuelans WANT an intervention by the USA to help them get rid of the kleptocracy that has ruined a beautiful country. Today over 400 people were injured by bullets, and many killed by the regime trying to defend humanitarian help that was being sent by a coalition of the USA/Britain/Brazil/Colombia. There is no medicines or food in Venezuela, that is a fact, people are being killed, tortured, kidnapped, drugs are being smuggled by government officials and mlitary, etc, etc...it is a nightmare and the Venezuelan people want and need the help, so please stop the non factual information, search for the truth, what this guy is saying is not true.

11. Privatize war,... a trDump and Erik Prince idea,..

* Afghanistan,
* Pakistan,
* Iraq,
* Eventually Persia/Iran,

* Now Venezuela,

Take the mining resources from the vast mountain ranges and the petroleum reserves from the ground....

Plundered war booty - the victor takes the natural resources for their own.

trDump, Prince, and warmonger minions of this administration become world class Oligarchs. With access to unimaginable wealth and personal riches beyond anything Putin could hope or conceive.
