I don’t know about this. Cuba was a de facto Soviet colony for decades. I could be wrong, but I strongly doubt Trump has any desire to commit forces of any kind to Venezuela. Imaginably if Brazil sent major forces into Venezuela, maybe then. But otherwise, I don’t think so.I don’t think the US will allow much more of this. The Monroe Doctrine has been standard procedure since the War of 1812, whether we still call it that or not.

Certainly, you could be right, but my guess this move on Venezuela is part of an already-established Putin trick; corner the oil resource market to the extent one can, or at least be able to deny it to the western allies. He’s doing the same with uranium.I imagine Putin is trying the ole Cuban Missile doctrine- we will leave Venezuela alone if you let us have our way with all our former Soviet satellites wink wink.
It will be interesting to see if Putin starts buying up coal reserves. If the Dems take over the white house he’ll be able to buy American coal stocks for a song. They’re already incredibly cheap because the threat of total destruction has not gone away.Also true
I didn’t know that conservatives wail against low taxes and traditional man-woman marriage.Their government, economy, and way of life is everything conservatives wail against.
Until now?The Monroe Doctrine has been standard procedure since the War of 1812, whether we still call it that or not.
The business is the security of the nation.What business would the U.S. have disallowing it?
How on Earth does a small number of Russian soldiers on a different continent threaten the nation?The business is the security of the nation.
If we accept this deployment, why do we think the number and types of deployments will be small and limited to soldiers?How on Earth does a small number of Russian soldiers on a different continent threaten the nation?
Firstly who cares, and secondly if Americans don’t want Russian soldiers in a South American country they probably shouldn’t spend decades trying to topple the democratically-elected leadership of that country.If we accept this deployment, why do we think the number and types of deployments will be small and limited to soldiers?
They don’t need any help with that. Guaido convinced Pence that half the army would defect and they got a couple hundred lolThey’ll also keep the Venezuelan army officers in line.
The army officers, many of whom were replaced by Maduro operatives, know what will happen to them if they defect. Probably it’s too late for Venezuela. After all, the Soviet Union lasted for 70+ years and Marxists have ruled Cuba for nearly 60 years.They don’t need any help with that.

Sometimes I wonder if you even believe your own sentences.Firstly who cares, and secondly if Americans don’t want Russian soldiers in a South American country they probably shouldn’t spend decades trying to topple the democratically-elected leadership of that country.
Time will tell. I truly don’t expect the State Department to roll over on this but they only landed Saturday. The Cubans and to a smaller extent the Russians have been helping out Maduro since the Obama administration and all the way back to Bush 43 as well, although I think that might have been Chavez? Actual troops however certainly escalates the matter.Until now?
Belief doesn’t come into play when discussing facts.Sometimes I wonder if you even believe your own sentences.
You forgot to include the way they love how elections are handled too.I didn’t know that conservatives wail against low taxes and traditional man-woman marriage.
