Excerpt from our paper of record’s editorial board:


If there is an overriding lesson of American foreign affairs in the past century, however, it is that attempting to oust even the most deplorable regime can make matters worse. The United States spent 20 years failing to create a stable government in Afghanistan and replaced a dictatorship in Libya with a fractured state. The tragic consequences of the 2003 war in Iraq continue to beset America and the Middle East. Perhaps most relevant, the United States has sporadically destabilized Latin American countries, including Chile, Cuba, Guatemala and Nicaragua, by trying to oust a government through force.

Mr. Trump has not yet offered a coherent explanation for his actions in Venezuela. He is pushing our country toward an international crisis without valid reasons. If Mr. Trump wants to argue otherwise, the Constitution spells out what he must do: Go to Congress. Without congressional approval, his actions violate U.S. law.

Why does the newly installed mayor of NYC feel he needs to come out in support of his communist brother? We know the answer.

Like Jonathan Turley.

Nothing in US domestic law prevents this.

International law, however, is pretty damn clear on this.

“Mr. Trump wants to argue otherwise, the Constitution spells out what he must do: Go to Congress. Without congressional approval, his actions violate U.S. law.”

"Even without Mr. Maduro, the state remains a maze, comprising a sprawling web of overlapping intelligence services, paramilitary groups known as “colectivos” and regional bosses who compete for kickbacks. This fragmentation has been the ultimate insurance policy: It helped ensure that no single general or minister held enough unified power to lead a coup, while keeping every official tethered to the center through the shared need for protection and profit.

Mr. Trump has not said how the United States will begin to run Venezuela or when it will stop, except to say it will do so until “we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition.” Whatever is to come, the system that Mr. Maduro has overseen can’t be dismantled overnight. His followers, longstanding Chavistas or armed opportunists, could very well mount a prolonged insurgency — the type of war in which the population is held hostage, regardless of political preferences. It is very easy to create chaos and make a country ungovernable when the formal institutions are already broken. No matter who is in power, the path to healing the anxiety, distrust and isolation that have flourished over the past decade is not clear.

Venezuelans awaken each day with many different fears: that we or our family members will disappear, that hyperinflation will wreck our savings once again, that our migrant loved ones are not safe in the places where they sought refuge."

The regime is still in place. The only protests in the country were pro-Maduro.

Everyone else is hiding. Waiting to see what it means when the US president says that we will be “running their country.”

Your own TDS is not on their minds at the moment. Venezuelan reaction across the world is pretty clear.
They are greatful and hopeful.

I pray that Trump can overcome his greatest obstacle to restoring living conditions and economy in Venezuela….that is you and your fellow TDS democrats who would deny Trump a successful effort at any cost.

I’m sure Jesus will help Trump get that oil.

Policemen” when the US intervenes in another countries internal governmental affairs.

It really is “if my guy does it, I’m all for it”.

This is about stealing another’s industry thinly disguised as a humanitarian issue.

You and your MAGAnutties are just political bullsitters pretending to be moralists.

of such violations...therefore his call to object...and put DJT on notice that he has a responsibility for the safety of New Yorkers (incl. many thousands with Venezuelan heritage) when Maduro is tried in NYC.

Apparently we are supporting the ascension of Maduro’s VP, who will be more friendly to our oil companies.

The same regime. Not the opposition. Not democracy at all.

At least so far.

He's a member of the United Socialist Party, so I suppose it's confusing.

Hence…Karl Marx was never a Marxist…
