President Donald Trump just made it clear that he already has his eyes set on a new target following the US’s capture of the president of Venezuela. During a press conference on Saturday, he urged Colombian President Gustavo Petro to ‘watch his ass.’ The threat marks a dramatic escalation in tensions across Latin America, with Trump openly invoking the Monroe Doctrine to assert US dominance in the Western Hemisphere.

    If your country didn’t float on oil the US wouldn’t have given half a shit. I’m glad there are Venezuelans who enjoy being a colony (again) and seeing their country plundered and pillaged while having the exact same small amount of personal liberty they had before.

      I never said I liked the current situation. I only pointed out that Venezuela was not a sovereign country like OP claimed. That is all.

      People are having a hard time with reading comprehension here.

        Yeah, it’s always voting fraud when someone kicks out the US oil companies. People are having a hard time with all the CIA scrubs posing as Venezuelans, not with reading comprehension. Enjoy Langley.
