1. THE QUICKEST, SAFEST, FASTEST WAY TO DEFEND THE WORLD

is to support a peaceful revolution in the United States: deposing the Oligarchs and religious bigots and stripping them of assets and power, purging the money out of politics and the violent out of police, military and State department, dismantling and repurposing the NSA, CIA, FBI, and all their high-tech toys.

It's not going to happen, IMO. Not in the foreseeable future. But we could turn a corner, and things could change...

Which would be more likely: the People take back their country, or invasion by the rest of a pissed-off world?

2. It doesn't sound like that would be quick or fast nt

3. Looks like a long, hard struggle out of their strangle-hold they schemed to establish

by perverting our democracy, our legal system, abusing every decent principle ever known.

Criminals have wormed their way to power in a society which demands fair play from its citizens, but looks the other way when the super sociopathic criminals among us abuse it, and seize control of the government, and its laws, through corruption, and then the police and military to use against dissent, inside and out of the country.

It's an evil situation, but if history is to serve any purpose, it has shown that it's going to fail spectacularly, in time.

I'll bet an internal movement could accomplish miracles when we expect it least.

5. Relax, nobody is going to invade

When the choice comes down to choosing between USA, Russia, China, Iran, Nigeria, Brazil or Venezuela, the USA wins hands down, warts and all.

4. Those who wish to defend Venezuela should visit immediately

It's very important to have a first hand look at what you are defending, besides, Venezuela has wonderful scenery, friendly socialists dressed in red, and very good cuisine. Try visiting the socialist communes at 23 de enero, talk to the fellows at aporrea.org and listen to the workers at the steel plants in Guayana, visit farmers in Tachira, and walk through a typical neighborhood like La Isabelica in Valencia, visit the native communities near the Brazilian border, see if you can find a Cuban doctor, and you will return ready to battle for Venezuela.

7. I get the feeling that Polly either didn't detect a hint of sarcasm in your post

Anyways, can't forget all those friendly malandros on the streets! Just be careful if you show them anything shiny, or they just might ask you to kindly hand them stuff voluntarily, or else your life will be in danger!
