"Liberating" Vuvuzela, A War I Can Get Behind

Sometimes, to maintain the Balance of Terror, one must out crazy Crazy Ivan.

Can't maintain the Balance of Terror by playing nice in face of crazy, that just incentivizes more crazy.

Indeed. Moreover, this is a new arms race, INF and BMD v. INF and BMD.

That's theater thermonuclear war beneath the level of MAD.

If that is allowed to spread into Latin America, that is not conducive to peace.

That is a Cuban Missile Crisis On Steroids, just waiting to happen.

Winfield Scott had to take Vera Cruz 175 years ago, and all we've had to do since then was send Blackjack Pershing down to tune 'em up 100 years ago. Pretty cheap imperialism, but it's due again. If we rolled through Northern Mexico with Strykers we would be welcomed like the 4th ID rolling into Paris.

That would likely wain as we neared Mexico city. The cartels own the government government officials, and they wouldn't like to lose their cartel benies.

See, I would not do that, no need for a Mexican Quagmire.

The issue is the Big Dogs moving in, with their INF and BMD, point blank on the CONUS.

Venezuela is simply a means to an end, Ivan is not coming there for the oil, Ivan has oil coming out of his ears.

China however is coming there for the oil, so their interests are merging with Ivan's.

That's both Big Dogs in, hot, stand to, the Boltonator.

Venezuelan Liberation starts in Mexico.

At least when it comes to Venezuela.

Mexico will not be providing Russia nor China with any strategic bases of operations, so Mexico is not a problem.

Nah man hol up. What kinda idiot would have thought that Russia and China would work together, or that Russian nukes in Venezuela was a problem?

Obviously not you, because you are a scumbag Millennial America bashing enemy sympathizer.

Zerohedge certainly, but they go overboard and pretend they are the best of buddies, while America and China are much closer than Russia and China. This myth of a coming Russia-China Anti-US Alliance is just the Domino Theory repackaged for the SIFCLF-R's of today.
