Trump Says U.S. ‘Not Afraid’ to Have Boots on the Ground in Venezuela


U ASKED....HERE IT IS

And here it is in the actual context in which it was said . . .

Mr. President, does the US running the country mean that US troops will be on the ground? How will that work?

Well, you know, they always say boots on the ground. Oh, so we're not afraid of boots on the ground if we have to have. We had boots on the ground last night at a very high level, actually. We're not afraid of it. We don't mind saying it, but, uh, we're gonna make sure that that country is run properly. We're not doing this in vain.

Trump Says U.S. ‘Not Afraid’ to Have Boots on the Ground in Venezuela


U ASKED....HERE IT IS

You do not seem to have understand how different Trump is compared to the last 3 or 4 Democrats you voted for. For example… when Biden would warn one of our adversaries to not do something, he would just say “don’t”. Which, after the embarrassing and deadly Afghanistan withdrawal, made our enemies more certain that they could do pretty much whatever they wanted, because American leadership had never been weaker.

Now when Trump says he’s ok with boots on the ground, he doesn’t have to put boots on the ground because he has already shown our enemies that he will do what he says he’ll do…or he won’t. He’s not the same as all the predictable weasels in Washington that haven’t done a thing to be feared or even respected by our adversaries.

We had boots on the ground last night at a very high level, actually. We're not afraid of it. We don't mind saying it, but, uh, we're gonna make sure that that country is run properly. We're not doing this in vain.

HE ALSO STATED TODAY..
PLANS TO BE THERE FOR A LONG TIME...THIS IS NOT JUST A ONE OFF...U (COLLECTIVELY)
HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING OF HIS EGOTISTICAL GOAL OF GLOBAL DOMINANCE.....BECAUSE THEN HE CAN 'WIN THE NOBEL PRIZE'......I AM THE ONLY ONE TO FIX IT.....REMEMBER THOSE WORDS.....I CAN BRING UP THE VIDEO IF NEEDED,

Venezuela's political prisoners are being released this week! Without boots on the ground.

Trump is proving that yes, apparently he is the only one that can fix it. He’s gone in 3 years, so your fears of him ruling the world are just that, fear. Your fourth turning may not be playing out the way your stars have told you.

AGAIN. TIMING IS THE THEME....I.E. APPLIANCES HAVE A RANGE OF LIFE EXPECTANCY....SEVERAL YEARS TO PERHAPS DECADES.....U NEVER KNOW THE EXACT TIME THE THING WILL STOP....THEN U GO PURCHASE ANOTHER,BECAUSE THE LIFE OF THE ITEM MIGHT BE CLOSE TO EXPIRATION........THE FOURTH TURNING IS EXACTLY THE SAME...ADVANCED SIGNS OF TROUBLE,THEN SUDDENLY THE UNEXPECTED HAPPENS AND IT;'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT BALLGAME......U R MICRO IN YOUR THINKING ALL WILL REMAIN AS IT IS TODAY.....THERE R STILL SEVERAL YEARS REMAINING.....AND NO, IT TAKES GLOBAL COOPERATION TO NOT ANNIHILATE EARTH.....RATHER INANE OF U TO NOT SEE THE ENTIRE PICTURE OF THE POLITICAL RAMIFICATION MOVING FORWARD. JMO

I'm just curious HA, why deliberately omit the preceding sentence when quoting what Trump said? You know, the part of the quote that says "if necessary". Is it because including it wouldn't allow you to entirely change the context in which he was speaking and as a result ruins your argument?

And yes, after 25 years of failed collectivism, it's going to take a while to right the Venezuelan ship of state and the US will need to continue to be supportive of their efforts to return to the realm of being one of the civilized countries in the world during that period, especially if we wish to continue to be the primary, stabilizing, influencing entity within our own hemisphere. It took two and a half decades for Venezuela to deteriorate to this point, it ain't getting fixed in a month or two, any rational person sees and accepts that reality.

We are going to have to be there to monitor elections, assist in infrastructure, help provide security, and many other efforts undertaken by the Venezuelan people for years, perhaps even a decade or two, to put this dark chapter of their history behind them. That doesn't mean that Trump or the people of these United States want to be an occupying force, it simple means the rational among us recognize that our years of inattention have come at a cost to Venezuela and to the US.

You need to understand negotiations. Right now the President is preparing to replace Maduro's underlings in a bloodless transfer to democracy. In order to do that, you need to remind these socialist autocrats that we can still occupy your nation and condemn you for crimes against humanity.
Rubio should send them tapes from Gitmo and Abu Ghrabib about how we treat these losers.

IF NEED TO....TRANSLATES TO I WILL RULE,BECAUSE I KNOW BEST.....'THE DONROE DOCTRINE'
LOOK IT UP AND THEN TELL ME HIS FOCUS IS NOT GLOBAL DOMINATION.
