It seems that those in power in a totalitarian form of government will do anything to keep their Power.

The 2nd Amendment was put into our Constitution to give us the means to fight against such Tyranny...

Thomas Jefferson wrote that "the strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms" is to "protect themselves against tyranny in government."

But my question is,should we get into another war???..Should we send our troops to Venezuela??

The only place we should send troops is our Southern border and with live rounds.

There is a possibility that we are going to send troops to Venezuela,according to Rick Scott...All options are on the table!!

We should protect our Country and Borders... First

I thought the United Nations was formed to prevent such horrendous attacks on a Country's citizen?

The United Nations did nothing when Red Chinese Tanks rolled over their protesters.

Maybe the United Nations should send in their Peace Keeping Forces? (Although the Venezuela men better keep their women indoors)

I agree with you, badbob… 100%

Really? Maduro was preparing to flee to Cuba, his jet was on the tarmac, engines running, and the RUSSIANS convinced him to stay. What does this tell you?

When a country has fallen into chaos, it's government in collapse, how in the world could it take care of its own? Such an event creates a vacuum into which foreign influences flow. In this case, Russians.

It happened in Iraq when Obama reneged on our Status of Forces Agreement and pulled our troops out. In came ISIS, Al Qaeda, Iranian insurgents, and other Jihadists.

Oh those Russkies!!!!

"The current U.N. regular budget calls for $5.4 billion over two years. By a formula based on the size of a country’s economy and other factors, America’s assessment is set at 22 percent, or about $1.2 billion.
Based on the last Obama administration budget, the United States provided $1.2 billion to the U.N. over two years, and Portman is correct.

But that’s just for the U.N.’s regular budget. There are over a dozen other U.N. agencies and operations that American dollars also support. The single largest is peacekeeping with a price tag of about $7.8 billion this year alone. The U.S. share of that cost is over 28 percent, or $2.2 billion.

The next three U.N. agencies -- all roughly in the $100 million per year range -- are the World Health Organization, the Food and Agriculture Organization and the International Atomic Energy Agency.

All told, the United States provides about $3.3 billion a year to finance U.N. activities. A 40 percent cut would save taxpayers about $1.3 billion out of the current $4.1 trillion U.S. federal budget. The impact on the U.N. would be substantial, although the precise effect would depend on how the cuts are spread around."

President Trump is calling for a 40% cut in the USA funding to the United Nations. How refreshing we have a business man in the White House negotiating these deals

Send American soldiers to face off against the Russians in Venezuala?
