[quote=Anonymous]What if there is something far more sinister going on?

What if there is a legit security threat?

China has been buying up land, businesses, and ports across the Caribbean—including in Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao which are a stone’s throw from Venezuela as well as in the Bahamas which is a stone’s throw from Florida. Plus elsewhere.

We know that oil is a commodity used to bankroll terrorism and governments that are committed to destroying us: Iran, China, and Russia.

Venezuela is a strategic partner for those countries, and odds are something was already happening and we needed to take action to deter further escalation (or worse).

Just because this administration is taking action doesn’t necessarily mean it’s entirely wrong on not necessary.

Literally every time I’ve vacationed in the Caribbean over the last 5-10 years, I’ve had multiple locals flag China’s race to establish a strategic foothold in the region…followed by, “why isn’t the US doing something?”

And I’m a bleeding heart liberal. But I can easily think of scenarios where it makes sense for us to take bold action…after all, this is in our backyard. [/quote]
