Venezuela prepares for war with US

by Jonn Lilyea••67

Typically, President Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela, has alerted his military to prepare for a war with the United States, according to Newsweek after President Trump’s administration has banned lending money to Venezuelan government borrowers and the state-owned oil company and passed sanctions against public officials;

“We have been shamelessly threatened by the most criminal empire that ever existed and we have the obligation to prepare ourselves to guarantee peace,” said Maduro, who wore a green uniform and a military hat as he spoke with his army top brass during a military exercise involving tanks and missiles. “We need to have rifles, missiles and well-oiled tanks at the ready….to defend every inch of the territory if needs be,” he added.

It’s a page from the Hugo Chavez book, blaming everything bad about the country’s descent into financial ruin on the United States – it couldn’t be communism that is the reason for Venezuela’s soaring inflation and mismanagement of resources.

The Russians, of course, are doing their level best to interfere;

Russia has defended Maduro in recent months, going so far as to accuse Trump of preparing for an invasion of Caracas. “We are strongly against unilateral sanctions against sovereign states,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in August.

Yeah, they can all take a breath. I can’t imagine the US making any military moves against Maduro’s government.

  1. ‘…it couldn’t be communism that is the reason for Venezuela’s soaring inflation and mismanagement of resources.’

    No, communism couldn’t possibly be the problem in Venezuela.

    There’s nothing to fear from communism.

    Everyone knows that.

    1. That, or communists will try to defend communism by saying “It’s not real communism!!1!” or “It’s not real socialism!1!!”. They do it when anyone brings up a country where communism/socialism didn’t work. They then promptly blame capitalism and countries like the US for its failure. Fuck the lot of them.

        1. Yeah, we’re going to need a fleet of helicopters if we want to get rid of communism. Pinochet had the right idea.

          hehe

        2. Communism ONLY killed about 120+ million people during the Twentieth Century and libtards just want to give it ONE MORE CHANCE.

      2. Yeah, you could set your watch by it. Communism/socialism fails anywhere and everywhere it’s attempted, every time, without fail.

        “Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?”

      3. Including our resident “I’m not a communist, I’m a socialist” and that proud communist ring-knocker 2LT.

    2. This simple minded communist prick must be studying under the other simple minded, communist prick, “Phat boi Nork!

  2. “We are strongly against unilateral sanctions against sovereign states,” Russian Foreign Ministry

    Like annexing the Crimea? Oh, wait…

    2. Look, Ukraine shouldn’t have dressed that way if it didn’t want to taunt the Russian army, okay?

    3. Crimea might not be a good example. Crimea was part of Russia from the time the Russians took it from the Ottoman Empire/whatever Khanate until Khrushchev unilaterally moved it administratively to fall under Ukraine in the mid-1950s. If I recall correctly, Crimea is still ethnically majority Russian today.

      That said – yeah, given the recent Russian actions re: Crimea the hypocrisy is kinda blatant.

    1. The “Omniscient and Infallible” One can’t sort out the fact that Communist governments (1) universally degenerate into authoritarian dictatorships with no respect for freedom or human rights “for the good of the proletariat, and to promote the Socialist cause”, and (2) during the 20th Century alone murdered – excluding war casualties and in cold blood – 140+ million of their own countrymen while “furthering world Socialism”.

      That shows he’s using industrial-grade political lenses to view the world. Do you really expect him to have anything worthwhile to say regarding Maduro and his gang of fools?

      1. I don’t expect him to have anything worthwhile to say, but I do need a good laugh so I hope he shows up. 🙂

    2. Fuck Lars straight to hell. Has anyone actually lamented the absence of TAH’s regular long-winded apologist dipshit with delusions of genius?

    3. Lars the Dim can just stuff it up his bum.

      If he thinks it’s so wonderful, he can move to Venezuela and annoy that fat basterd Maduro with his advice on how to make a commie state run better.

      1. I agree. After all, he is a trained political officer, or as the Army CA branch designated him, a Civil Governance Officer.

        1. I’m still curious about the dirt that was dug up on him by TAHers who asked around. Asshole tendencies aside, it’s been my experience that people who claim as often as he did to be “very good at what [they] do” rarely are.

    1. Well, I hope Maduro’s asshole is well oiled when we shove the freedom cock into it if he tries to start a war. I would pay to see that happen.

      Of course, he just loves to saber-rattle like KJU does, so nothing will probably come of it.

      1. ^^^This!!!
        A wise man once told me the best revolutions happen organically. Let’s hope they have their own Thomás Jeffersones!

    2. Deflection doesn’t work well when the person you’re targeting is already eating dandelions and wiping their ass with leaves.

  6. Now is the time for all shit bird men like Spenser Rapone LT. USMA graduate to join up and fight for the Venezuela Army.

  7. Didn’t Argentina try something like this a while ago? I’ve lost track of all the stuff that goes on down there.

    Chile’s Rapel Valley has some good vineyards. They’ve got a red wine that is bodacious with steak and fries.

  9. Yeah, I’m guessing that the starving peasants might take up arms, but not against the US.

    Careful what you wish for, Maduro.

    1. I’m thinking he may be gearing up for a major purge. He will do the normal communist political purge and claim that all the people killed were agents of the great imperialist Satan to the north.

        1. I remember listening to the radio and hearing that Romanian media had released the statement “It’s Christmas and the Anti-Christ is dead” referring to Caucescu’s execution.

        2. Execution of the Ceaucescus = good riddance.

          Nicolae Ceaucescu was a monstrous, genocidal communist dictator, and his wife Elena was evil incarnate.

  10. I think we should load up the B-2s and fly over Venezuela dropping roll after roll of toilet paper.

    After all they need it.

    1. Sounds brilliant to me! A humanitarian aid mission that also demonstrates our opinion of Maduro.

    2. And do not forget the poptop cans of food like Spam, beans, deviled ham – whatever can be dropped without the need for a can opener.

      2. K-rats left over from Vietnam, no doubt, but certainly better than nothing.
        I checked the most recent stuff I could find on Venezuela a couple of days ago. About half of the military is eroding away from Maduro. He may not have enough support to keep going.

  11. “We are strongly against unilateral sanctions against sovereign states,” Russian Foreign Ministry

    Said no Chechen ever.

      1. Five Guys, hell – try a full bowl of rice and some pickled veggies or kimchi. I’m guessing they’d go bonzo for that alone.

        Outside of the military and party elite, damn near that entire nation is malnourished as hell.

        But it us a sterling example of the reality of a Socialist state that uses central planning and command direction to manage it’s economy. Historically, that’s been much the case in any such state: periodic or chronic shortages of foodstuffs and other goods due to central economic direction gone awry.

  16. So how about we raid our stocks of “humanitarian” MREs, add a pocket pistol and a box of ammo per case, bundle them up into 20-packs with Spanish language copies of books on Guerrilla warfare, and air drop them all over Venezuela?

    Too simplistic?

    1. You’d have to create a distraction first, to send the Vennie Army in the wrong direction.

      Then do a quick flyover, faster than a speeding bullet, in the areas where the po-folks are trying to stay alive. Just a drop-and-run.

      That might be a good start, but they still need regular food drops. Almost forgot, bomb Maduro’s hovel.
