You know, I always thought WW3 would pit us against Russia or China, maybe North Korea. Venezuela wasn't that high in the list. It's like they're begging for a fight. If these boats can be tracked and destroyed, they could easily be intercepted by the military, and lives could be saved. Instead, we get people who think it's cool to swing the big stick and care not for who gets hit by it.

It's a fascist nation in need of a scapegoat

The world wars, to my limited understanding were really kicked off by a series of mutual defense alliances which pulled in a bunch of other countries. Is there anything like that for Venezuela?
