  • 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.

It's not about terrorism or drugs; it's about erasing Russia and China's presence in our hemisphere now that unipolarization or realignment is happening.
Which is no different than FDR’s good neighbor policy from the 1930’s which highlighted non-intervention by other countries.

Are you suggesting the "big facility" pertained to Russian or Chinese interest?

We cannot give in to terrorism.
"Terrorism is the unlawful use or threat of violence, often against civilians, to instill fear and coerce governments or populations into achieving political, religious, or ideological goals, characterized by calculated attacks on non-combatants to pressure a wider audience, notes
Britannica and ohchr.org and UN Office on Drugs and Crime. While there's no single universal definition, key elements include violence, political aims, creating terror, targeting innocent people, and coercing third parties, says UN Office on Drugs and Crime and LII / Legal Information Institute"

Admittedly, there are some variations in the definition but Venezuela is not the largest drug pusher in South or Central America. I support regime change and I prefer drugs are kept out of the USA, but lethal combat for selling or moving drugs is not a capital offense in the USA and should not be a capital offense outside the USA. Roll the dice and remove Maduro, but offering a justification based on drugs is a poor substitute for he stole the election and is a despot. I say roll the dice because once Maduro is removed the USA can not be sure what will follow. Likely there will be domestic issues, and the need for U.S aid to buy the best government that the USA can work with. I'm even ok with that if ultimately there is little or no bloodshed and an improvement of the lives of ordinary Venezuelans.

I think some americans are unaware that bombs and war hurt people bring disgrace violence and suffering etc. Maybe some of them don't care if the bombs are not over their heads. Do to others how you like they do to you.

I hope not. It is a tragedy when anyone dies, it is a last resort, unfortunately terrorists only understand violence. The U.S. has taken action against the Iranians, ISIS in Nigeria, and the Venezuelans involved in narco-terrorism. All were killers who would not stop.

Trump the terrorists is starting trouble, with these countries for no reason. The United States of America's poor and middle people could use the money, that's been wasted on something, that has nothing to do with America.

Iran is a sponsor of terrorism against Israel and the west. The billions of dollars released by the Biden administration brought them within months of launching an atomic bomb against Israel with the U.S. being the next target. Boko Haram and the Islamic State West Africa Province have murdered or kidnapped tens of thousands of Christians. And Venezuela continues to closely work with terrorist groups to kill Americans.

The first 3 sentences have no relevence to Venezuela.
And the 4th is fiction....unless you can demonstrate otherwise.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for more information. The Pentagon declined to address questions about the U.S. military’s involvement in the attack. The CIA declined to comment.


So far, this is what we have to go on....the musings of a failing mind:

“We just knocked out — I don’t know if you read or you saw — they have a big plant or big facility where they send the, you know, where the ships come from,” Trump said in the interview. “Two nights ago, we knocked that out. So we hit them very hard.”



Say, has the administration asked for Congressional approval to attack Venezuela yet?

With ISIS and Al qaeda we had specific international terrorist we were after. Heads of their organizations, people who carried out and planned actual attacks on civilians.

Who is the top Venezuelan terrorist we are after and what specifically did they do that is being classified as terrorism?
