    It doesn’t even make economic sense. How much are those missiles and bullets vs the cost of sending a few customs agents to impound the boat?

    They’re certain it has drugs, right?

        That barely worked with Iraq and the post 9/11 recruitment boom if they think they can take and hold fucken Venezuela a country historically infamous for guerillas they are damned deluded. Also I doubt activating the draft and conscripting a bunch of folks would work out in their favor, there are reasons it was moved away from least of all fragging which could be quite devastating with modern tech. Imagine a AA operator deciding to obliterate Air Force 2 out of spite and hatred.

        What are we doing tonight Brain?

        Same thing we do every night Pinky. Invade a foreign country under the guise of spreading democracy to steal their oil and control the flow and value of resources.
