If I understand correctly, I think dax is against regime change when violent Islamic extremists are around and for it when they are not.

This guy seems like he has been workshopping the talking point for a while now.

Aren't you bothered by the "Foundation for the Defense of Democracies" and the rest of these neocons closing in around Don?

When did you turn into such a reactionary numbskull with the rest of the resident LibDerps?  Did you miss "Venezuela is not worth it"?   Did you miss the part that I was chiding LibDerp7 for being several years behind? 

Hezbollah is inextricably tied to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and QUDs, so to day "no one is afraid" is little naive.

I mean that basically said the same non-scary stuff the other article did. Venezuelan Hezbollah is no threat to the US at all.

Weird, then why “redouble” efforts to counter Hezbollah?

Did I say there wouldn’t be any?  Dumb if so. 

Weird to see LibDerp Nation concerned about Elliot Abrams, I suppose a decade or so late is befitting.

Let's see:

You said the largest terrorist organization directly tied to state sponsorship (outside of the militaries of nation states that some or many would call terrorists) in the world was nothing to worry about.

The second article I posted said this:  Exposing the full extent of the Maduro government’s relationship with Hezbollah and the entanglement of senior officials with the group will make a strong argument in favor of Guaido, because Hezbollah is involved in serious criminal activity in Venezuela (and elsewhere), including drug trafficking, money laundering and arms smuggling. The US in particular will feel obligated to address more forcefully Hezbollah’s presence in Venezuela. If the US is going around the Middle East and elsewhere to counter the malign activities of Iran and its proxies, and their attempts to circumvent US sanctions, it should do the same in Venezuela, virtually America’s own backyard.
Regardless of how the Venezuelan crisis evolves, the US and its allies should redouble their efforts to counter Hezbollah’s attempts to increase its influence and malign activities in Venezuela.


If there's no concern, then why is this author taking that position?

How could anyone read that Arab News article and have what you said be the take away?

cRusty, the basic bent on this, as usual from this board is that Pompeo was trying to pull a "yellow cake" about Venezuela and somehow conjuring up a nHezbullah bogey men where none actually existed.   Reality says it's the exact opposite.

Now, do you have anything that may discredit what this author says beyond that you don't like the cut of his political jib?

I really don't know much about his politics, I just doubt that he is unbiased voice on matters possibly involving Iran based on his bio and list of articles. But if you think that article confirms that Hezbullah's Venezuelan faction is a true threat to the US and we should therefore start rough ridin' crap up in Latin America again, be my guest.
