So I saw on CNN how the President of Venezuela accused the U.S. of planning to invade his country at the U.N. today. Apprently he has proof too.

It's exactly the same thing that small European countries were saying in the late 1930's. And no one listened to them. In fact, the world leaders gave up Yugoslavia to Hitler as appeasement. So the sound of one tiny voice crying out might sound absurd, but I have to give pause and wonder, with our current administration, how absurd is it really?

Not that I really believe that the U.S. has any interest in venezuela whatsoever, but still...
