Venezuelan military go all out macho

There is always the possibility that the U.S. might send our troops into troubled Venezuela. The South American socialist country took part in what they referred to as a "march of loyalty" to show their support for former bus driver and current dictator Nicolas Maduro.

The embattled Socialist leader visited Aragua State to watch the military collectively kiss his dictator butt as he stood there smiling while bits and pieces of his lunch fell from his mustache causing street urchins to scramble and gather them up for a much needed meal.

"Only the ones who fight have a right to be. You will never invade my country. Listen to us small gringo. We are ready. With weapons in our hands … we are waiting for you," the personnel shouted during the parade, as beads of nervous sweat formed on a thousand upper lips.

It has been suggested the United States could stage a military intervention to oust Maduro, with the Trump administration repeatedly voicing their opposition to him. But it now seems that Russia and Iran have become involved and this complicates things a tad.

Several days ago, the US Department of Transportation ordered the suspension of all flights between the countries, saying “conditions in Venezuela threaten the safety and security of passengers, aircraft, and crew traveling to or from that country.” This included both commercial and cargo flights.

Maduro and Venezuela’s opposition led by Juan Guaidó have been involved in a bitter struggle for power since the beginning of this year.

On January 23, Guaidó declared himself interim president after saying the position was open because Maduro had used fraudulent means to secure the election.

He is now recognized as the legitimate President with the backing of more than 50 countries – but Maduro has held on to power with the backing of the country’s military, a strong position since gun confiscation was initiated by the government in 2012.

Venezuela, once the richest country in all of South America with its oil reserves, is now in the grip of an economic crisis due to the socialist policies of Maduro.

Citizens have been dealing with major food shortages, currency worth less than the paper it's printed on and mass unemployment over the past year.

It seems that the main reason the military stands behind this dictator is because they are being fed and clothed.

Imagine if in the United States, the government confiscated our guns.
