Quote:The Western Hemisphere is ours.

Despite the best efforts of Leftists, Socialists, and Globalists of all stripes, the majority of citizens of Latin America support the US Donald J. Trump administration’s intervention in Venezuela and the arrest of dictator Nicolas Maduro.

The New York Times reported:

“While some Latin Americans denounced what they decried as American imperialism in Venezuela, a more supportive response to President Trump’s action prevailed, with several polls showing that a majority of Latin Americans endorsed the intervention.

[…] Seventy-four percent of Peruvians, sixty-three percent of Chileans, a majority of Colombians, Brazilians, Argentines, and even Panamanians, whose country was itself invaded by the United States to remove an authoritarian leader nearly three decades ago, approved of the capture, according to several polls.”

In Mexico, the response was divided, reflecting the significant penetration of leftist ideology.

But in general, ‘a shift toward pragmatism is eclipsing old ideological loyalties’.

“In the case of Venezuela, many Latin Americans opposed Mr. Maduro’s rule and felt the impact of its fallout — including millions of Venezuelans who migrated throughout the region fleeing poverty and repression.”



“’Maduro turned out to be the neighbor who is noisy and disruptive, so when the police came to pick him up they were like: ’finally’,’ said Patricio Navia, a Chilean political scientist at New York University.”

TikTok viral song ‘¿Los Comunistas Dónde están?’ (Where are the Communists?) making fun of China and Russia for not defending their dictator ally.

Another thread the lefties will ignore...

Well, duh. And what's to ignore?

I'm sure nearly every part of the globe currently dealing with bad actors would support us being their policeman free of charge. SK would probably love if we took out KJU. Ukraine and most of the Eastern Bloc would love if we took out Putin. I'm sure most of Africa would love if we took out the Sudanese Armed Forces...

My Venezuelan neighbor is head over heals for her country and can't figure out why the left is against her country's freedom from a dictator. I think her eyes have been opened. Anyway, I'm happy for her considering now she can hopefully go visit home after so many years.

Way to misread the room.

You can easily support Venezuelan freedom while not approving of the method it was accomplished by or the actual reason it was done. They're not mutually exclusive.

To my neighbor, and most Venezuelans, the manner in which they were granted freedom DOES NOT MATTER. It's the the US left that is not reading the collective room, imo.

Typical. You turn something good for our hemisphere into something to b!tch about.

It's Tom. What do you expect?

That's your problem right there, you read his posts. You do know that everything Trump he will disparage so why even read what he posts. It's like tuning in to the View and then getting mad at what they say if you already know they're the female versions of Red.

Put him on ignore and to the bunch of you out there, don't quote him...please.

No wonder the paid Leftists make fun of y'all, y'all are suckers. LOL

Why does it matter to you, Ollie?

Plus, if someone called you a goat f**** like Tom did to me, you'd have it out for them, too.

I don't care if leftists make fun of me. I'll just make fun of them right back.

Yea ok tommi..... a mediator or social worker should have been deployed to work it out because that would have worked for sure.

And for the record, Trump did this to disrupt and hopefully stop the inflow of drugs killing US citizens..... I mean really, what a disservice Trump has done.

GFY

We don't all react the same way, Ollie. I like responding to him selectively. But I will try not to quote him.

That stuff doesn't bother me like it does some of you.

And I'm nobody's sucker.

Wow...of course more logical fallacy.

And I hate to break this to you, but the drugs killing US citizens...mostly Fentanyl...doesn't at all come from VZ.
