Too bad we intervened in the first place. Should have let the regime die a natural death. Once we arrived and promoted the opposition it was time to take sides. Now Russia is involved as in Syria. Nothing good can come of this. Pompeo's threats are ludicrous. Lots of bluster signifying nothing.
Glad to see people posting in the world news forum even if it is just to rag on the presidency. Or administration.
Any or some US actions are causing positive results, many members of the Venezuelan military have abandoned the army, Venezuela including its government are big cocaine smugglers, Hezbollah has connections in Venezuela. Oh, yes, let's not do anything.
And we are isolating the country. I think in fact, it has been successful. Some people are wondering why the Russians weren't in there earlier.
Things could indeed go our way down there.
Again, if one says refugees should just be turned away, that's not going to happen. These are UN figures.
US, 260K
Spain, 200K +
Colombia, 1,100,000+, maybe much higher.
3,000,000 refugees in full, destabilizing the region. I don't think what you suggest is practical.
Over 50 countries, basically the free world, represent President Juan Guiado... so I certainly do not see this as some sort of failure and there are real consequences, more drugs smuggled, more refugees...
And some think that by the end of the year, refugees could be 5 million in total, 5,000 leaving a day.
