The "plot" against Little Marco? Well, not really. All anyone has so far is that Cabello "may have spoken" with some "unknown Mexicans" about the guy that Venezuelans call "Narco Marco". Maybe. Possibly. We kind of think.

And other reasons why Venezuela's economy is in trouble include over a decade of economic warfare by the IMF, World Bank, CitiCorp, BoA, Wall Street, and the worst drought in their history. Economic warfare isn't fast, but it's certainly effective.

"We think"??? They've openly boasted about it for over a decade.

Yeah, but Venezuela is the second-worst choice in the entire hemisphere, only Cuba would be a worse target. The government filled armories across the country with small arms and trained militias made up of commoners in how to repel and resist an invasion. The terrain is very unforgiving of invasion, whether amphibious or through Colombia (the most likely route), the people are unified in the desire to stay independent, and most of them are old enough to remember the dictators that the US imposed on them for decades.

Bad idea, even for an orangutan.

Hey, the French would have understood him. It's a helluva lot closer than fill-it mig-nun.

We are going to invade Venezuela because they have huge oil reserves. All of the rest of it is for show.

You are assuming a lot there like Trump will listen to logic , reason or even his own advisors. Trump will do it no matter how foolhardy it is because in his mind hes always right and everyone is stupid.

Well, we've already got the Joint Chiefs refusing to carry out his orders about removing trans service people. They stepped up to talk Ronnie Raygun out of invading Cuba, I'm pretty sure they would ensure that any proposed invasion of Venezuela would be postponed and postponed until someone sane was CiC and could countermand that particular piece of lunacy.

How does one pronounce Merlot ??Though there are many fine wineries in Latin America, I'm fairly certain our pronounciations would never pass muster in France
