Actually Infuriating

Truly nothing can make up for what has already happened. I am deeply sorry for the victims of our military and everyone else who lives in fear because of us. It never should have gotten here, and every American should one day reckon with our failure to enact change in time. I fear the day of that reckoning is coming close, and that it will not be voluntary any longer when it arrives

Bruh, the Venezuelans are celebrating in Miami.. who cares about you? \s

Las dictaduras no tienen ideologia solo una excusa para oprimir. Aqui un dictador atacó a otro, solo espero que el pueblo no pague las consecuencias. Fuerza amigo que se puede salir de esta. Igualmente hay montones de Venezolanos que vinieron aca a Uruguay buscando mejor vida seguro encontras quien te ayude si te querés venir.

Yeah, Trump isn't the president you want doing regime change in your country. He's completely corrupt, and he's showing it in Venezuela - doesn't even mind leaving the old regime in place as long as he can get to your oil. Several orders of magnitude worse than Bush, and that's already pretty bad. I would expect him to try to work with the criminal syndicates in Venezuela and to try to come to an agreement with Russia and China for their influence in the region in exchange for giving them a blind eye to their own imperial goals elsewhere.

From the start he's been trying to side with the dictators of the world who want to divide it up under regions of control, and he has done everything to undermine diplomacy, soft power, and cooperation. The reason he does not prop up Machado is because he wants a despot, not democracy. It's no surprise, given he's one himself propped up by the richest people on Earth.

He sees himself as controlling all social networks on the planet and as such the narrative, controlling the supply to modern computing and as such all major industries everywhere, and controlling all the most advanced military weapons on the planet. His goal is to strong arm the entire planet while having more unstable and chaotic control over it all, a recipe for disaster on a global scale that will make the overabused concept of weapons of mass destruction end up seeming ironic.

Will the Venezuelans resist or accept the US puppet dictatorship?

I'm sorry and I'm sick. When I saw the news a few hours ago, I don't have the words. Had to repeat to my wife 3 times, "Trump kidnapped the President of Venezuela and his wife."

Welcome to the regime change party.

Could probably count the number on countries on your hand that the USA hasn't attempted to intervene in.

Anyways, isn't the Venezuelan military also immediately at fault here? You don't just send a bunch of Chinooks into another country expecting zero resistance. Someone was onboard with a deal and let them in. I could be wrong, but it seems like the Air Force couldn't be convinced, hence the air strikes.

It's actually only unusual because they bothered to get directly involved. Maduro could have easily been couped and the US would pretend they had nothing to do with it.
