I doubt very much apart from Cuba that anyone from South America would object to taking out Maduro, their might be a few complaints just to placate a few fanatics, however Trump is so unpopular at home he is looking for a distraction, and he may be crazy enough to start a war, he certainly doesnt know what he is talking about half the time,
Posted 13 hours ago - Link - Report abuse 0Esteban, I agree with the first part of your comment, but while the Donald may be looking for yet another foreign boondoggle distraction, he is not as unpopular in the US as it may seem, especially in non-urban areas. He is indeed entirely clueless much of the time but a few right thinking legislators, such as the Hon. Rand Paul, have called him out on his unilateral imperial presidential actions. It's a mixed bag. Some of his domestic initiatives, such as the illegal immigrant crackdown, are hugely popular among the less visible electorate.
Posted 12 hours ago - Link - Report abuse 0Not so sure about his popularity Fort Hay, the ex military he has disrespected, the farmers has has hung out to dry, the auto workers that have been laid off, the poor Republicans that have lost their medicare, the rising prices of just about everything , the loss of trust,influence and respect all around the world, if the midterms are fair and genuine which i highly doubt, they will be the GOP will lose both houses and then Donald is in big big trouble, hence all the Gerrymandering attempts, Trump knows he is in trouble if that happens ,only time will tell, my gut feeling is he will do everything he can to stay in power even an illegal 3rd term, watch this space,
