First North Korea, now Venezuela??
On Friday, Donald Trump told reporters he may pursue a “military option” in Venezuela due to their current political crisis.
On July 31, the United States sanctioned Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro after the country illegitimately elected a new legislative body run by his Socialist Party loyalists. In the past four months of civil unrest, hundreds have been killed and thousands have been arrested.

The President said:
“The people are suffering and they are dying. We have many options for Venezuela including a possible military option if necessary.”
When pressed further, the businessman declined to give any more details.
“We don’t talk about it but a military operation – a military option – is certainly something that we could pursue.”
Almost immediately, Twitter erupted with reactions. See the best ones (below):
We’re going to war with North Korea and Venezuela? This is what happens when your president learns geography from the Miss Universe pageant.
