Venezuela aims for biggest military reserve in Americas

[vimto]

Please, the US has no intention of going into Venezuela. Its political rabble rousing, a way to unify the country and get measures like private militias into existence. The American people would not support such a war. But I think you all know that.

So who the fuck are you then?

Do you have a direct contact to the West Wing perhaps...or are you just another slap head willing to follow the party line at any cost.

The American people have little say in what wars they fight in.

Government declares war. Soldiers go in and fight.

But I agree that it would be very unlikely that the US would declare war on Venezuela.

Why?

Because they are slightly overstreched perhaps?

No, they can impose economic sanctions (I think that's the term I want). It's less messy and just as effective.

Also, Venezeula is their #2 supplier of foreign oil.

What type of 'economic sanctions' peeper, considering that Venezuela is the '#2 supplier of foreign oil' to the United States?

 

[vimto]

What would you do?

I have no idea, I'd have to go google it and it's late.

They have a history of this - Cuba, Palestine and Canada to name a few.

Actual war is very messy - "we" don't want it near us.

eta: I told you that 'economic sanctions' may not be the right word.

 

[spring-peeper]

What would you do?

Me - as in springpeeper? Get another cup of tea and hope that you are going be civilized.

So basically you haven't really thought it out have you

Thought what out?

The question was "do you think that the US would invade Venezuela". I said no and gave you my reasons.

So, do you think that the US would invade Venezuela?

Google civility and knowledge peeps...that should keep you going for a while.

 

[spring-peeper]

Are you planning on answering the question or do you plan on continuing to troll this thread?

 

[vimto]

The question was "do you think that the US would invade Venezuela". I said no and gave you my reasons.

Yet you believe that economic sanctions would be preferrable to war.

Can you elaborate?

Could you please let me know where you stand on the issue?

 

[vimto]

So, do you think that the US would invade Venezuela?

Naahh...as I've said before, the troops are waaay overstretched at the moment.

 

[vimto]

Could you please let me know where you stand on the issue?

What issue?

 

[spring-peeper]

Naahh...as I've said before, the troops are waaay overstretched at the moment.

Ahhh yes, I remember reading that. Sorry.

I'm curious, why would they want to invade this country anyway? I seem to have forgotten that as well.

Why don't you google it

 

[vimto]

Something about the nationalisation of the oil industry?

 

[spring-peeper]

Why don't you google it

What is your fascination with google?

So you don't know why America wants to invade Venezuela?

 

[spring-peeper]

Interesting posting style.

Why should the Americans care if the oil industry is nationalized?

Exactly...why should they?

 

[spring-peeper]

Exactly...why should they?

You brought it up, not me.

I thought the oil industry was nationalized a while back, but I will bow to your infinite wisdom.

The American people have a way of applying political pressure to extracate themselves from unpopular wars, like Vietnam.

Because if the politicans support unpopular measures they won't be re elected.

its like "innit". Where did a man of vimtos genius come up with that?

 

[spring-peeper]

First of all, I'm a bitch not a bastard.

Secondly, I thought that the purpose of a bulletin board was to communicate. You used a quaint local term and all I did was ask for clarification.

 

[vimto]

Oh no...they're coming mob handed
