Washington, June 17 (RHC)-- Right-wing Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has suggested that the United States should take military action against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro so countries opposing the U.S. are intimidated and surrender to Washington's demands.

To handle foreign conflicts “we need points on the board,” said Graham, who is a close ally of President Donald Trump, was quoted as saying over the weekend by Fox News.  The warmonger from South Carolina told Fox News that the U.S. needed to resolve its issues with other countries using military actions.

The Chair of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary suggested using U.S. military force to resolve America's conflicts with countries opposed to US foreign policy.  "Do what Reagan did in Grenada.  Put military force on the table... start with your own backyard," he suggested.  

Graham implied that after the U.S. military invasion of Venezuela, other Latin American counties, as well as countries opposed to U.S. foreign policies such as North Korea and Iran, would be intimidated and give in to Washington's demands.

"Fix Venezuela, and everybody else will know you’re serious,” Graham, who is a notorious supporter of U.S. interventionism, suggested to the Fox News host.  Graham has in the past repeated his call for U.S. military intervention in Venezuela.  Last month, as representatives of the Venezuelan government and opposition forces were meeting in Norway for talks on resolving the political crisis in the Latin American country, the Republican senator dropped another Grenada reference aimed at scaring government representatives.

In 1983, Reagan ordered U.S. troops to invade the small Caribbean island nation of Grenada, resulting in an 'easy victory' for the imperialists.
