  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Pilot narrowly avoids ‘midair collision’ with US air force plane near Venezuela​

JetBlue pilot calls incident ‘outrageous’ and says US military refueling tanker didn’t have transponder turned on

A JetBlue flight from the small Caribbean nation of Curaçao halted its ascent to avoid colliding with a US air force refueling tanker on Friday, and the pilot blamed the military plane for crossing his path.

“We almost had a midair collision up here,” the JetBlue pilot said, according to a recording of his conversation with air traffic control. “They passed directly in our flight path ... They don’t have their transponder turned on, it’s outrageous.”

And the oil under Venezuelan ground is apparently "ours" and must be returned to the United States.

Speaking to U.S. military members on Thursday, Trump praised the recent actions "to deter Venezuelan drug traffickers," involving strikes against boats allegedly carrying narcotics, and a significant military build-up in the Caribbean.

But Trump hinted at more direct action against Venezuela on Thursday. He said his campaign had hampered the drug trade by sea, "and we’ll be starting to stop them by land also," adding: "the land is easier, but that’s going to start very soon."

In October, CNN reported that the Trump administration produced a classified legal opinion that justified lethal strikes against suspected drug traffickers.

However, U.S. lawmakers had also been told this month that the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel said there was no legal justification for strikes inside Venezuela itself or any other territories, according to CNN.

The sad thing is he’s probably right. I’m not sure we’ve ever had a president act so carelessly with his tremendous power.

Well, we gotta make sure we check all the boxes in the playbook. It's 2003, right?

Iraq Venezuela has terrorists and WMDs and they need regime change to remove their mustachioed dictator and bring peace and stability to the region. Oh, and also oil.
