Posted By: MainelySane, 3/24/2019 5:09:25 PM

Two Russian Air Force reportedly planes landed in Venezuela´s main airport on Saturday carrying a Russian defence official and around 100 troops. One flight tracking website shows two aircraft left a Russian military base for the Venezuelan capital Caracas on Friday, with a further jet leaving on Sunday. The arrival of the military jets was confirmed by Javier Mayorca, an independent journalist, who said an Antonov-124 cargo plane and a smaller jet touched down late on Saturday.

Comments:

I hope they brought some extra food, at least some snacks or vodka.

If you ever doubted that socialism and communism are two sides of the same coin, this should show you that they are. Here is a communist country helping a "socialist" country. Why? Because they are all of the same agenda.

Yeah, we all know how difficult it is to control people who are sick, hungry, cold, frightened for their children, thirsty, without weapons, no communication etc. I think it´s time Taco Barbie and Bernie the Elder Idiot go down there and help turn them around.

For shame. How morally blind can you be. One thing coming from young and ignorant AOC, but the Russian Foreign Ministry knows conditions in Venezuela and knows where the money went. They cannot think any further into the chess game than opposing us. It never gets to where people end up happy and free. They know how to play the game super well except not what the objective is.

What´s a "reportedly plane?" If it flew into Venezuela carrying people it was either a plane or a bird - or a dragon. Make your best guess, Rachel.

Russia needs the oil and we have blocked their access to Iran. Fingers are going to be slapped.

Putin just made a major mistake. We are not going to tolerate Russian troops in our hemisphere. Maduro is done, and so is Cuba. Russia and China may not like it, but history has overtaken Cuba and Venezuelan thuggery, and it will no longer be tolerated. Mr. Putin, you better pack those 100 back into a plane and bring their butts back to Russia.

#2, it’s not a communist country supporting a socialist country. It’s one dictator supporting another dictator. This has nothing to do with ideology (look at the other countries supporting Maduro) and everything to do with power (not to mention sticking it to the USA).

What the Soviets did in Afghanistan in 1979, except that that was closer to its homeland. They also faced the mujahideen whom we helped later with weaponry enabling them to better defend themselves and go on the offensive. The Venezuelans appear to be defenseless and weak, starving and ill.

Putin said two weeks ago that he would enjoy another Cuban missile crisis. He is daring Trump to do something or be remembered as the biggest coward in history. Landing troops into our hemisphere is supposedly an act of war against the U.S. The world is watching.

California Democrats’ infamous ‘gig’ law, AB 5, took effect at the beginning of this year, and now thousands of entrepreneurs, including many with disabilities, are now left fighting for their livelihoods. Thanks to their handiwork, it is now more difficult, if not nearly impossible, to work as an independent contractor in the state.AB 5 isn’t just about gig workers utilizing work platforms like Uber and Lyft. It’s much broader—and much more dangerous. Workers, entrepreneurs, and job creators in hundreds of occupations—including community theaters, event planning, marketing, and public relations, freelance writing, health care, and many more—have been negatively impacted, losing their careers and much-needed flexibility.

Kastanies, Greece - Syria’s official news agency said two of its warplane were shot down by Turkish forces inside northwest Syria, amid a military escalation there that's led to growing direct clashes between Turkish and Syrian forces. SANA says the jets were targeted over the Idlib region, and that the pilots ejected with parachutes and landed safely. These confrontations have added to soaring tensions between Turkey and Russia, which support opposing sides of the Syrian civil war. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday announced his country had opened its western borders to migrants and refugees hoping to head into the European Union.

Tucker Carlson of Fox News was not among those celebrating the end of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani’s reign of terror around the globe. On Friday’s show, Carlson blasted Washington “neocons” for wanting to go to war. “Chest beaters like Senator Ben Sasse of Nebraska are making the usual warlike noises like they always make,” he said. By all accounts, Soleimani was the world’s most dangerous terrorist, responsible for the deaths of thousands. The number of people shedding tears for the leader of Iran’s infamous Quds Force is very limited, and most assuredly, Carlson was not mourning Soleimani’s death.

The deal includes a conditional halt to American economic sanctions. After negotiations with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, U.S. Vice President Mike Pence hailed the five-day cease-fire as the way to end the bloodshed caused by Turkey's invasion of Syria.

It was really bad and it explains why they’re afraid to have him deliver an address to Congress or do any kind of a real solo press conference, because at this point they have to be afraid this is all going to fall apart if he does anything live and this all becomes too obvious to the American people.

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.
