Maduro proposes to invade Puerto Rico: "Our liberation agenda was written by Simón Bolívar."
Nicolás Maduro suggests invading Puerto Rico with Brazilian troops and claims that Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua are ready for the fight.

The Venezuelan ruler, Nicolás Maduro, sparked controversy this Saturday by suggesting that he would use troops from Brazil to "liberate" Puerto Rico from what he termed the "colonization" by the United States.

Maduro provoked the U.S. government, inviting a possible war or armed confrontation. The statements were made during the closing of the International Antifascist World Festival, an event broadcasted by the state channel VTV that coincided with his swearing-in for a third consecutive term.  ...

"Let no one be deceived, that scenario could present itself again," stated the Venezuelan leader, recalling the fight against fascism from 80 years ago as an example of what he considers a global effort for justice. "If it's through peaceful means, we will advance through peaceful means; but if it's through force, we will overcome that as well," he said.  ...

Ok then .... is Maduro planning to do this before Trump takes office? 

He needs to remember that Trump is checking his list twice.

I know at least twice in recent history Puerto Rico has put this up for vote. Their choices were to remain a US territory, become a state (please, no), or independence. The results were inconclusive, but if they want independence, all they have to do is vote for it.

What a joke.  Two thirds of Venezuelans would treat the US as liberators.  Maduro had better hide in his crappy little "palace" and keep his mouth shut.

Puerto Ricans want the island to be a state, and unfortunately, so do the majority of Americans.  It will probably happen the next time the Democrats get a working margin in both chambers as well as the presidency.

First thing that came to mind when I saw the thread title:

Fine.
Let Venezuela have the place.
Works for me.

(but I see some other forum members already beat me to it!)

Next on the agenda:
Give Hawaiians their independence.
(We'll keep Pearl Harbor and some surrounding land)

Okay.  While the Venezuelans are busy 'liberating' Puerto Rico with its vast natural resources, like .... hurricane damage.

At the same time, America can invade Venezuela with Canadian troops to 'liberate' Venezuela and its oil, and to make Venezuela safe for democracy.

Word on the street ... Maduro has been inquiring about yellow-cake uranium from Niger.

"Brazilian" isn't that the number that Biden thinks comes after a trillion?
My Nephew and his wife went to visit her family in Venezuela. There were two lines outside of a grocery store. They were the lines to get bread and toilet paper.
I say let him have it,and Haiti while he is at it.

Did Maduro even ask Brasil if he could have its troops? This may have come as a big surprise to Lula da Silva.

I know exactly what happened.  Maduro somehow got his hands on a copy of the movie The Mouse That Roared.  He wants to duplicate the efforts of the Grand Duchy of Fenwick, declare war on the USA by attacking one of its territories so that the USA will retaliate, they surrender, and we pay Bazillians of dollars to Venezuela.

Great strategy!  It could be Wrecking Ball Joe's last act before departing.
