And now we get another refugee crisis.
That makes no sense. It was the Chavistas who were sending sending them.
Why do you guys think that the Americas and the Middle East are comparable?
They are entirely different races, cultures, religions, political systems, qualities of life, parts of the world, etc.
We've removed the Haitian government like 3 times in the past 100 years, look at how we dealt with Noriega, look at Maduro, etc.
For everyone dooming:
We tried to arrest Hugo Chavez before and it was a disaster.
What happened back then was the Chavistas
were incredibly popular and the arrest sparked an immediate backlash and a mob formed on the presidential palace calling for his release. It was a national humiliation for the United States, a loss in the authority of the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, and the CIA was caught in what had been a long string of embarrassing failures. There is ZERO chance the United States risked the same situation without good intelligence to suggest that no, actually it really was time for Maduro to go.
I agree, we shouldn't do state building in the Old World. But even if we were isolationist, the Western Hemisphere and Pacific
are our fucking demesne.
We don't have to play world police but we should absolutely kill anyone who threatens our nation or our hegemony in the Western Hemisphere or Asian Pacific.
