VENEZUELA

The government of Venezuela today started another round of nationalizing certain foreign interests in its country. Of course, it had to be an American oil support and drilling operation. I do not condone the idea of sabotage; however, in this case, I do believe that it is time for the US to enforce a ban on all US companies doing business in or for Venezuela. We should have all US citizens leave Venezuela NOW! And we should have all those concerns leave without further notice or formal or even informal shutdown of all operations. We should then send an army of lawyers into Venezuela and sue the government for damages. 

Next we should then force out of the US any and all companies and interests from Venezuela and freeze any and all of the assets of Venezuela still in the US. 

Further steps such as quarantining of Venezuela vessels and removal of any US diplomatic missions in Venezuela and forcing out any Venezuela Diplomatic missions from any US controlled area should be undertaken.

Now is the time for the US to remove all US forces from the Middle East, Asia, and Europe in order to concentrate our efforts on real American interests (defense of the Western Hemisphere) and protect US lands.
