      Options as to how to deal with the Venezuelan crisis:

      1. Air strikes on the warship, plane sites.

      2. Followed by a invasion backed by exile Venezuelans.

      3. Sea blockade, till the Russians turn their ships around and tear the Venezuelan planes down.

      4. Do nothing.

          As a Belgian I am deeply concerned about the threat Russia and Venezuela are posing to the critical cacao supply lines from Brazil and Colombia.

                  Remember the scene in the book Red October? The Russkies are sending a task force down into the North Atlantic, and we want to signal them that they are in "our ocean" and are there only with our tolerance. So at night, we send four jets in under their radar, each from a different direction. As they reach the Russian task force, they simultaneously pull up and each pop a flare. The Russians freak!

                  We should do something like that here.

                        The Italians perfected those back in the 40's.

                            After further consideration: We should send in three jets, not four. One drops red flares. One drops white flares. One drops blue flares. No one on any of the ships could have any doubt where the flares came from.

                            Welcome to the Western Hemisphere, Russians.

                              Odds are we'll have to rescue the cruiser...or even the crew...due to faulty everything.

                              Or better than flares, notes..."where you are going there is no vodka".

                                With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
