I highly doubt that Venezuelan soldiers would be welcome if they show up unexpectedly.Originally posted by: MaverikV
This "offering help" BS that these foreign countries are doing is bullsh!t. You don't fvcking offer help, you just send it. Do you think we sent a hallmark card to micronesia after the tsunami seeing if they wanted our money and supplies? Yeah right, we just shipped out and brought it to them. I agree; shens till we see any of it, which will happen in the vicinity of never.

I didn't say send troops, I said send HELP. What about food or money? Our government seems to be taking its sweet time getting the place together. These countries could give to, say, the red cross maybe? Flying fighter planes over the area isn't the only way for these places to send help.
As for the death toll, don't compare until you know. Nobody has any idea how many bodies are floating under that water, and nobody knows how many more people will die wiaiting for the government to do something.
I'm not comparing it to the tsunami to compare death toll statistics. I'm comparing it because we sent help there. Everyone expected us to send help there. People complained that we didn't send ENOUGH help there. Now we need help. Where is it? In bogus "offers" that both the US and these foreign countries know we will turn down. Don't even act like it's us being pig headed and that's why we are turning down the offers of aid. Do you think we would ever hear the end of how the United States accepted money and supplies from these nations? Again, there is a HUGE difference between offering aid and sending aid. I'll believe it when I see it.
