Concern in Venezuela as Photos Surface of Marines Coloring in Map of South America [OC] - The TTRPG network

(Camp Pendleton, CA) As war tensions mount, disturbing pictures have been released of US Marines, sitting around tables and coloring in a map of South America. Pencils on the desks suggest the soldiers may be writing in the names of the countries, as well. “This is very alarming,” said a Venezuelan diplomat who asked not to be named due to fear of reprisals. “This type of training goes far beyond the US preparations for the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. This suggests a long term plan for occupation, possibly for decades.” A spokesman for the Marines said it is normal training to teach soldiers about areas in the US sphere of influence, and noted that the soldiers love the crayons. The White House also deflected the issue of the training, saying in a press release on the subject, “you’re just mad your mom never bought you crayons.” War scholars agree this is not typical Marine doctrine, and feel Venezuela should be worried. Leo Sturbgetter, a double PhD scholar in Military Doctrine and Bovine Dispersion, said: “I would be very alarmed if I were in the leadership in Venezuela. Assuming these troops learn every country and capital in South America, they are less than 2 years from deploying to the region.”

Americans Worry a War with Venezuela May Require Them to Find it on a Map [OC] - The TTRPG network

(New York) As American warships gather and strong rhetoric flows from the White House, Americans are growing increasingly concerned they may have to find Venezuela on a map. “They do those bits on late night tv,” said Maryland Bantra of New York. “I don’t want to be the dumb ones. I’m not sure if I can find that country… and screw it if they have a globe.” This fear is echoed by Americans around the country. “If this gets serious, I’m sure there are countries near Venezuela that will be involved. We’ll have to learn their names, maybe even their capitals,” said Frankfurt Devens of Florida. “I just got two new bosses I report to… you’re saying I have to learn their names and then some capitals. I can’t do it.” But not everyone shares this pessimism. London Haim, a high school geography teacher, said, “this will be over really fast, and we might even wipe Venezuela off the map. My job will be even easier if that happens.” Americans that have been to Venezuela are sad that war is imminent. Leo Sturbgetter, a cow detangler in eastern West Virginia, said “I hate to see these people suffer, but with those Epstein files out there, something has to happen. Sorry amigos.”
