This does not bode well...

Wonder if we're going to enforce the Monroe Doctrine.

Not for 100 troops, we're not. That's not even a token force. That barely qualifies as 'advisory.'

Still, it's a goddamn new Cold War... once again, fuck you, Putin. Bastard still thinks we're his enemy even as he oppresses his people, suppresses truth, and brainwashes them while plotting to topple our countries.

Trump has told the Russians to get out, but I don't see anything more than finger-wagging likely to come up.

The more Russia is invested in a sinking ship, perhaps the better for the US. But it could prolong the suffering for the Venezuealans.

Also they could be setting up a puppet state in the Western Hemisphere.
