The mental gymnastics you go through are astounding.

Venezuela is sliding into totalitarianism. It is impressive that Obama has put aside his ideological preferences long enough to condemn a rogue regime that will do anything to keep non-Chavistas out of power.


Ideological preferences? Centre-Right Reagan-with-blackface Obama?

Can you really imagine Obama telling Putin to tear down a wall?

Yeah. "Mr. Putin, tear down that wall or there might be actions taken against your country that might cause slight discomfort."

Easy to say into a microphone from a press conference. It would take real sack to have stood over that wall.

But then no one would hear...he said it in Berlin, that's good enough. I can't imagine Obama going so close to the enemy and giving a powerful speech. He's not that kind of guy.

This is this drivel about Venezuela being a national security threat to the United States?

What a joke.

I love when idiots say that Obama is a socialist in seriousness.

So now the United States, the most powerful nation in world history, is bringing down its economic might on a nation of desperately poor people in an attempt to make their lives worse.

Kudos. What a waste of time and energy. We should be offering aid.


offering aid? are you serious? Aid is what props up such a system...allows it to continue to exist.

I am saying aid is more appropriate to the population of Venezuela than economic sanctions.

...except there is no way to ensure that any of the aid would make it into the hands of the general population .

No that's very true and knowing the kind of government they have, it's a safe bet...but you can be very sure that the ones the sanctions hurt will be the general population. Those who can barely withstand any more hardship
