Mexico used to control large swaths of what is now the United States, including California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.

Imagine, for a moment, if the Mexicans had not accepted the loss of this territory, and had, with the support of their benefactors in Venezuela, invaded American border communities, raping women, slaughtering and burning houses along the way by the Santa Anna Freedom Fighters Brigade.

What would happen if, six months later, in response to the U.S. military’s efforts to root out the terrorists and their supporters, Venezuela sent a barrage of attack drones and ballistic missiles into U.S. territory.

(Venezuela's socialist government has long used the threat of an "imperialist" invasion by the United States to justify an arms buildup. Much of that arsenal was obtained from Russia by Venezuela's late President Hugo Chavez, whose tenure lasted from 1999 until his death in 2013

Would anyone expect a power such as the United States to sit there and take it — to look weak in the eyes of its enemies by not asserting its military dominance over malign actors within its sphere of influence?

(Justinder could preach tolerance to Biden or Trump or Harris or whomever the US President happens to be before Canadian PM Trudeau/Singh is sent packing Oct 27th, 2025)

Conservative U.S. politicians such as Florida Republican Marco Rubio have long accused Venezuela of collaborating with a host of global militants, including Lebanese Shi'ite group Hezbollah and Colombia's FARC rebels, who are disbanding this year.

The Venezuelan government has long mocked such claims as lies used to justify potential foreign aggression from the imperial running dog settler/colonizers.

Who would the blue hair crowd support as a rule of thumb?
