Of course the cannon fodder doesn't want a Round 2 - because they're the cannon fodder. The generals who decide what happens in Venezuela don't care what the cannon fodder wants. They care what they want. And they want to run their country the way they want to, and not follow the U.S.


Sure. They can order their dudes to Aut cum scuto aut in scuto. How many of them plan to do that?

It's not up to them. It's up to the people with guns. If it's not a mullah, it will be a general. The "Iranian people" have no vehicle by which to assert what they want, no mechanism to translate the popular will into a change of who actually runs the country.

Guess we'll see, won't we? Bear in the mind that "the military" is made up of "the people".

The Second Amendment doesn't really come into it.

Sure it does, and you're wrong entirely in your next couple of paragraphs, but that's another thread.
