Military force? Depends. I mean, at some point if they don't have a President or Maduro refuses to leave & takes to violence to stay in office, then yeah we need to step in. Just a quick whoop-ass though, Desert Storm/1991/3 days style.
I understand not having the stomach for a drawn out conflict, but I dont get why we dont have the stomach for this and do things half-assed instead. We have the ability to just go in, do what needs to be done and get out before it becomes a big mess, but we don't want to do it. We twiddle our thumbs until it becomes a big mess, then we get involved. Its totally backwards.

And people wonder why we can't have intelligent discussions...

Their perception might be that...but most metrics regarding the economy say they’re losing ground.
They just feel better about it. Like you. You’re all emboldened now but you’re still losing ground.
That’s why i laugh myself to sleep at night. Bc you’re hurting yourself but it’s more important to havecthis POS as president throwing daily temper tantrums than it is to be in reality
I'm infinitely better off than I was. Personal decisions make a difference. If you make poor ones, your odds of success are lower than if you make good ones. But go ahead and blame trump for everything because God knows everything was awesome until 3 years ago...

Funny you should be worried about letting Americans die given the last administration's decision making. Didt Obama have an American citizen killed? And we all kno about Bengazi, right?
People are dying mitch. They can't afford to go to the doctor or choose to put off doing so until it's too late because of Obamacare's high deductible plans. Can you think anything out before posting instead of just posting irrational, emotional half-thoughts?
Uh...uh-buh....buh...uh—buh..........BENGHAZI!?!?!?
So no, emotional response is all you got.
You're so much like trump. How ironic.

Sorry they are...i know you don’t acknowledge what Obama did for the economy...you have a short memory on that....
But man do you remember the history of insurance...
Far better than you apparently.

We wouldn't even be having this discussion if Obamacare hadn't been forced through. Sorry, that's all on Obama and the Dems, even if things happened afterwards that they didn't do. They screwed it up big time, which opened the door to whatever happened next.
This is what happens when politics becomes all about winning instead of doing what's best for the people. There's no attempt at compromise, so we all pay the price.

It can't be debated? Sure it can. I WAS in the journalism industry. Nearly all my close friends lost their jobs. And of course tens of thousands of others.
See how easy that was.
Not debating with you because I have been through job elimination before and it's not fun, but tens of thousands is a drop in the bucket. I will also say that both times it happened to me, I ended up in far better positions making far more money, but I realize that may be the exception to the rule.
Industries ebb and flow. Seeing how much of a joke the mainstream media is, I personally hope true journalism makes a comeback.
