Just for context, the “Level 4: Do Not Travel” warning has already been active for a long time, but the new part of the warning (reissued today) is:
>There are reports of groups of armed militias, known as *colectivos*, setting up roadblocks and searching vehicles for evidence of U.S. citizenship or support for the United States. U.S. citizens in Venezuela should remain vigilant and exercise caution when traveling by road.

Don said he was in control.

Fox sounding the alarm? Doesn’t paint a rosy picture for the oil barons. US boots on the ground?
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

Didn’t he say it was completely safe and oil companies should expand operations immediately not even a day ago?

I am not saying the US refuses to learn from his past mistakes.
I am just saying I feel like i have already seen this happen quite a few times already

“Those risks include “wrongful detention, torture in detention, terrorism, kidnapping, arbitrary enforcement of local laws, crime, civil unrest, and poor health infrastructure” according to the State Department.”
Like home?

Maybe ICE can deploy to deport those militias.

Stop going through Venezuelan armed militia check points, go through our own “Made in USA” armed militia checkpoints without leaving your home state!

lol that was a warning for before you attacked, but I guess that would have given the game away.

Wait, I thought this wasn’t war, but just arresting a dude.

Armed militia. Phase 2.
Sometimes it’s better to understand a situation before you go in and fuck it up further. Instead they kick the beehive and let the locals take the hit.

We all knew this was coming except of course the deluded and insane right wing

Oh, I thought Donald controlled the Country. Maybe he can file bankruptcy again to get out of another fine mess.

Only a political buffoon would expect to seize a country, kidnap its president, and not face any backlash.
The only way Venezuelans can fight an occupation is through guerrilla warfare. That is exactly what will happen.
You will start seeing more of this every day: arms proliferation, rising disorder, and escalating chaos. You will see kidnappings of Americans for ransom.
U.S. corporations will not be welcomed, and if they attempt to take Venezuelan oil, there will be sabotage.
This is the dumbest administration in American history.
