CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuela’s government is slamming the Obama administration’s decision to extend for a second year an executive order declaring a national emergency in the crisis-wracked South American nation.

Sure is "brave" of them to go against a nonexistent "enemy."

5. *IF* the US government was interfering.

Any talk of "interference" is Maduro's propaganda.

6. At least PBO doesn't need to mobilize any troops.

Besides, at any given time there are 26,000 troops in motion somewhere in the world.
