Here's another thought on the "impending" war with Venezuela [View all]

First, “No new wars!” Lies promised, lies kept.

Second, the Venezuelan armed forces are not staffed with morons. They know fully that they can’t go toe-to-toe with the U.S. in a conventional fight, which would quickly go asymmetric. No, they observed the quagmires that were both sandboxes and IMO will do the following:

1. Evacuate their Air Force to a friendly country, probably Colombia.
2. Leave a token force in place in Caracas to “defend” the capitol.
3. For the vast majority of soldiers and Marines, trade in their uniforms for civilian clothes and blend in with the population.
4. Then when our boots on the ground arrive (you can’t hold ground with an Air Force and Navy) use the urban combat and guerrilla war tactics that were so successful for the Taliban.

Then wait as the U.S. falls apart seeing our soldiers and Marines come home in body bags.

Again.

(Oh, the fucking child rapist will get his war with the pliant, soft Congress he has).
