22. The only way the US would get involved is due to Trump's arrogance

Mon Feb 25, 2019, 11:07 AM

Feb 2019

Cooler heads are doing the thinking right now. Maduro is BEGGING for a military intervention of some sort. This would allow him to save face. Which is why the world cringed when the Orange Menace insisted that a US invasion was "on the table". With those words, he breathed new life into Chavismo. TRUMP IS A F*CKING MORON, but he has surrounded himself with far more forward thinking people than himself.

The best thing that the US can do is

1. Cut off the purse strings to Chavismo.
2. Recognize the legitimate authorities in Venezuela.
3. Support humanitarian efforts.
4. Sanctions on the FANB hierarchy.

The hard part is getting The Dolt in the White House to shut up and do nothing.
