| Venezuela dares US to send in Marines as crisis in the country continues |
| 2017-06-21 |
| [Iran Press TV] Venezuela has dared the US to "send in the Marines" after Washington tries to initiate a regional plan over the crisis in the country. On Tuesday, US Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan attempted to garner support at an Organization of American States (OAS) meeting for a mission of mediators to be sent to Venezuela. "The 'contact group' you're proposing is completely useless and unnecessary," said Venezuelan Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez at the meeting which was held in Mexico’s Cancun. "The only way you could impose it would be to send in your Marines -- who would meet with a crushing response from Venezuela if they dared make such a misstep," she added. |

| #18 Ya know, Napoleon said to never interfere with an opponent when they're screwing up. So the Marines can sit at Gitmo and wave... |

| #16 I guess they are pining for the good old days, where J.D. Rockefeller would ask if he could borrow the Marine Corps for the weekend to solve his problem. |

| #15 mission of mediators Sorry, but the Marines are busy. Send in a few brigades of SJW's. One-way tickets, of course. |

| #14 So Marines won't be there to restore order when the mobs are stringing former government officials up from the lamp posts. |

| #12 If Maduro could skip straight to the nationbuilding, without out all the icky BOOMS and POCKETA, POCKETA, POCKETAs, he'd go for war. |

| #11 "who would meet with a crushing response from Venezuela" Obviously they've never witnessed what just a Rifle Company of Marines can do to an enemy. Ask an old Iraqi Republican Guard guy who survived an 'encounter'. The 'crushing' would be a bit one-sided and not in the direction you think, Sra. Rodriguez. |

| #10 Might I recommend that, instead of The Marines, we send 'em a few boatloads of "Community Organizers?" |

| #9 Tell me again why the Dems are in favor of socialism. Same reason Madero is in for it, POWER. They'd rather destroy an institution rather than give up power. That's why, if you haven't noticed, they're trying desperately to take Trump down even if it means the end of the last vestiges of the old (and gone) republic. |

| #8 Seems they really want us to violate them. It is the only way they can save things is to get the US to take over. Tough shits kids. |

| #6 Venezuela, the end result of socialism. Tell me again why the Dems are in favor of socialism. |

| #3 Why would we waste US Marines on your idiot place? You already did your place in dumbass. |

| #2 Marines with MREs and Choco-Pies would be quite popular, I'll wager. |
