    If the idea is a CCP invasion of the mainland US with said tanks, I do not find that very credible.

    It would be nice if they did. Because when capitalism collapses here, it won’t be pretty.

          Sorry to hear that. How about Venezuela? I doubt they’re quite as stringent.

            Venezuela doesn’t currently have diplomatic relations with the USA. I’m pretty sure it’s impossible for me to even apply for a visa.

                Sure we do. Here’s their contact information:

                Firstly, that information is out of date. (And I have a feeling the state department won’t be updating the information anytime soon.) I googled that guy’s name, and he describes himself as the “former” director of consular affairs.

                Secondly, that was never a real consulate. You see, after Madeiro shut down Venezuela’s consulates in the US, the US established its own fake consulate for Venuzuela allied with Juan Guaido. That guy must have “worked” for that place. Notice that it doesn’t even have a physical address or phone number.

                The fake consulate shut down last year. Even when it was running, it was probably useless for actually getting a visa to enter Venezuela.

                  Interesting, it seems you are correct. Thanks for taking the time to explain that all, I appreciate it.
