Venezuela - give me a break

If Saddam waged the mother of all battles, then Chavez will wage the bastard step-son of all battles.
 
Makes the black knight from Monty Python's "King Arthur and the Holy Grail" seem rational.

I'll bet the US is willing to "call this one a draw"...
 
It WAS rather stupid for him to put it that way. As is evidenced by the uniformly idiotic responses above, all Americans will hear is some kind of schoolyard challenge, and we don't put up with such any more. We are on a Power Trip and won't put up with any backtalk.

How depressing. What if he's justified? Do any of you even CARE?

We don't care. We're America. Stand up to us and you're next on the list, buddy.

Disgusting reaction from all of you.

Screw you and the horse you rode in on.

Of course I thought about whether it was justified, and I concluded that it wasn't. There's no chance whatsoever, based on current information, that the U.S. will invade Venezuela. However it is obvious that Chavez is besieged domestically, and is striking out at imagined external enemies to try to gather for himself a scrap of credibility.

Are we reading the same thread or are some posts hidden from me?

I'd like to see you support that with evidence.

Say what???

Have you registered as a paid agent for Cuba, Venezuela, or both? I didn't think the old KGB disinfo campaign was still around.
:p

I agree with you wholeheartedly. Unfortunately, reason, common sense, and a willingness to see both sides of an issue are often drowned out by cries of "we'll kick you ass because America's awesome". So much testosterone, so few brain cells.

What we have here are empty threats from a man who is trying to use smoke and mirrors to cover his ever-decreasing credibility.

The US may be involved in Venezuela, but an invasion? With what? The army is already over committed.

His threats are not justified. If they were, I might just care. As is, I don’t plan on losing any sleep over a threat based on hypothetical invasion which is not about to happen.

Chavez sounds a lot like the old Argentina junta that attacked the Falklands to distract the public from their economic failures. I would bet that Venezuela invades Aruba or the Antilles before the US would invade Venezuela. More likely Chavez is just being a blowhard and the threats are about domestic politics.
 
the country is a mess. The best thing a government in trouble can do is find a common enemy for everyone to hate.

Castro used to do it with the homosexuals.
 
Haven't liked Chavez since he started that damn lettice boycott years ago. Troublemaker.
 
Ok I'm not one to get into pro-America hysteria, but I have to admit that these comments are a little over the top...

If you invade us, we won't sell you any more oil??!

How many countries are in the practice of selling oil to a nation that is invading them? I have just one thing to say: DUH.
