I could insult these criminals all day, but to what purpose?

We have failed to meet this moment in history. I believe we need a substantive course correction. I need an effective opposition party — now, today. One that is focused on action, not speeches or slogans. A critical mass movement could be built quickly in this country, it could be effective.

Am I mistaking inaction and a profound lack of organization, as complicity? Seems like a topic worth consideration, imho. Regardless, the definition of insanity…and all.

Through highjacking their oil. Because if we occupy we have to maintain stability and rule of law and address both US and Venezuelan casualty figures and increasing cost of rebuilding damaged infrastructure and civilian property.
