The Peace President is about to bring war on Venezuela and destabilize the country (and probably with far reaching consequences in the region). Who would have thought?

Yeah. The "peace president" has so far attacked four countries in his first year in office.
Many soccer associations are saying — what a stupid name, soccer, you know everybody else calls it football, the NFL has been mean, we should really do something about that, can we do something about that?, let's get some people on that to change the name of football to something else and then soccer to football — they're saying, and these are some of the best soccer associations, the real best, FIFA in fact, it's saying we got the FIFA peace prize, and you know it was the first one, because I'm the president of peace, some say the most peaceable president, and the radical left hates it, but Venezuela you say?, I can't say I've heard of it, but the people who deal with those things, they tell me, and they're very smart, the greatest, some say, they say that this just has to be done, so we're doing that, and did you know they stole our oil?, stole it a long time ago, and it's ours, it really is, they tell me, but I haven't heard about this strike yet, if it's important I'm sure its reach my desk, it's a beautiful wood desk
I'm not sure if this is a direct quote or a creatively written one but I'm afraid to find out.
And far beyond the region
Venezuela is not a stable country. There is active famine. You can easily make an argument against the war, but to suggest it's a stable country is false.
That's part of the USA's plan, in the hopes that the people will turn on Maduro and oust him so the USA doesn't have to do it.

But how did that strategy work out in Libya? Its an absolute mess. Now its a conduit for African migration into Europe. Who knows what destabilizing Venezuela will do.

> Who knows what destabilizing Venezuela will do?

Not much, if one plays 'area denial' games with the Darién Gap, by mining it?

It's a war now?
