Oh I think we are beyond the point of that being a certainty. There will be entire new generations of terrorists worldwide who target Americans because of the messes we are making in their back yards. By the time I am retired, I fully expect Venezuelans to be as radicalized against the US as many in the Middle East are...because we are following the same path.
OK. Im not defending trump’s business ethics or negotiation tactics.
Frankly, you're on stronger ground than defending his charm.
Ok. We disagree. No matter what positions we take in geopolitics some group is going to be angry. I think there will be far more positives for Venezuelans than negatives if we do what we say is the plan and actually ensure that they are the beneficiaries of their resources and don’t live under rule of a dictator. Foreign policy cant be ruled by fear of pissing off a minority of people who want to keep a dictator.
Im not
Lol..who said anything about wanting to keep a dictator? In case you haven't noticed, it is Trump who is absolutely keeping the dictatorial regime in place in exchange for raping VZ of resources. How you think that will end well is entirely beyond me.
Why is he doing that? There is a very sound reason for it and has said it’s temporary
Please elaborate on the sound reason for keeping every aspect of the dictatorship in place if the goal is to remove the dictatorship.
I'd love to know who the "many" people are who have met Trump who have been positively impressed by him after meeting him and changed their minds about him in a positive way. To the contrary, most of what I've read since 2016 have been people who had never met or dealt with him before who come away very unimpressed and even alarmed at just how narcissistic, self-absorbed, easily distracted and bored, and distanced from reality he is about nearly everything.
I would imagine the reference is to other narcissistic assholes such as Bill Maher who meet Trump and find a kindred spirit.
