Trump, just now: Military action not off the table for Venezuela

[ProudModerate2]

Somebody remind me: what idiots here on Atlas voted for and put this clown in office.

It's the narcissism again.
He sees the news where they show him talking "tough" (supposedly) about North Korea, and he gets a major hard-on from that.
So like a 13-year child, he continues to talk in this manner to get more attention, but thinks nothing about the consequences of his neurotic words.
The man is very mentally ill !

Lots of fake outrage in this thread
America, quite literally, has a "military option" for every nation in the world
Saying we will use military "if necessary" is an empty statement

There is no reason to discuss military action against any country that is not threatening the United States.

Very naive worldview!!

Yes, your opinion (marty)  is very naïve.

Not sure if that is even necessary IMO.

Oh, it's totally unnecessary. Maduro has screwed up his country enough without our help, and any action beyond sanctions on individual officials (and maybe not even that) lets him scapegoat us for his country's problems and cement the still-present Chavismo base.

This. Wtf is Trump doing? All those people who thought that he was a dove and a non-interventionist should've thought about his bloated ego. Instead of thinking like a sane person, he'll keep trying to look like the alpha male with 'tough', brainless statements. And to think we could've had a level-headed woman who can think beyond her ego.

Even Adolf Hitler offered himself as a 'man of peace'. Criminals and other evil people are liars, which explains why J. Edgar Hoover could put so much of the effort in interrogation by the FBI on finding out who the truth-tellers are and who the liars are.

War to grab resources? That's what Saddam Hussein did in an effort to take over oil-rich southwestern Iran and in turn Kuwait. Few liked the Islamic Republic of Iran, but even Fidel Castro could see something very wrong with Saddam Hussein invading Kuwait.

America becomes the new Evil Empire if it does something to Venezuela or does a pre-emptive strike upon North Korea.

President Trump  is putting America at risk of a military coup.  

There is so much here (from various posts) that I am reading, that is right-on-the-money.
This was just a useless and ignorant comment by trump; it does nothing, but make things difficult for the US.
