The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"Remind me again why you liberals are so hands off Venezula/Maduro/cartels in your condemnation of Trumps efforts to clean up the neighborhood?

Maduro is a bad guy, an unelected bad guy who supports our international adversaries and suppresses the Venezuelan people who would otherwise be our ally. Why do you resist every effort to curtail his capacity to make trouble?"
- BHM

It should also be noted that I think most liberals would support curtailing Maduro's capacity to cause trouble throughout the world if it was done in a clear and legal manner. In fact, I would bet many of America's allies would support such actions.

However randomly blowing up poor, dumb part time fishermen in speedboats (especially with second strikes), isn't really curtailing Maduro and justly causes commendation of the U.S. in the international community. Same thing with grabbing "shadow fleet" tankers. There is a right way and there is a wrong way of doing things. Why do you always support Trump doing things the wrong way? You keep demonstrating that you do not believe in law and order.
