    I suppose MAGA will back off of backing Guaidó now. Wouldn't want to anger the guy with the peepee tape.

    Russian mercenaries reportedly in Venezuela to protect Maduro
    Contractors linked to the Wagner group, which has carried out missions in Ukraine and Syria, reportedly travelled to Venezuela

    Russian private security contractors have travelled to Venezuela to provide security to the embattled president Nicolás Maduro, the Reuters news agency has reported.

    Citing three sources, the news agency said that the mercenaries are linked to the Wagner group, which has carried out missions in Ukraine and Syria and is now reportedly active in countries in Africa, too.

    If it is confirmed that contractors from the group traveled to Venezuela, this would be their first known deployment in the western hemisphere.

    Are these the same Russian mercenaries that forced you to change your vote from Hillary to Trump, given their massive influence over you and other voters?

    The woman you campaigned for, lost. lol!

    Is that your best 'comeback'? That you didn't personally run?

    The woman you wanted to defeat Trump, lost. The same woman who wanted the Iraq war, who also used to have a deep southern accent, but now sounds like a 'new yorker'. lol!!!

    Just to be clear, since you never answered:

    Are these the same Russian Mercs that forced YOU to change your vote from Hillary, to Trump?

    You lefties keep bringing up the Russian influence...

    I was never a Hillary supporter, so no.

    Now, how about sticking to the topic of the thread?

    I believe the topic is the Russian Mercs. The same ones that forced you to vote for Trump apparently

    Why would he back off? Trump already killed hundreds of them in Syria.

    Speaking of Syria, it looks like this could be a bit of a repeat, doesn't it? We support a change of government, Russia steps in with force to prevent it.

    Interesting that you bring Syria up.

    Isn't that the geographical location in which both Assad and Putin are trying to slaughter ISIS but there are American troops on the ground in several key locations that hinder that?

    Why not just let them use Chems on ISIS?

    Oh wait...

    Oh I agree. We should just back out of all the worlds problems and let them figure it out themselves.

    If they threaten us directly, bomb them back into the stone age.

    @Durandal disagrees. He thinks US personnel should die fighting in a war less relevant than Iraq.

    Good for Putin. :)

    Without Russia and China out there, the carnage the US would wreak is unthinkable.

    GOOD! :applause:

    Hope Russia gets a military base out or the deal.


    I just do not believe Venezuela's suffering is purely
    internally created.
    I see a multi national Orchestration to bring Venezuela down.
    Though "the banks", IMO for example. Passive boycotts

    Is there a reason you drastically went out of your way to answer such easy questions? ISIS would appreciate your comment...as they would like to thrive in Syria while Assad and others are trying to smash them. Best part is...Americans don't have to die in the process...unless that is your wish.
