Wow, that’s risky. If one of our diplomats gets hurt, it will be on Trump.
Nah, just blame it on a video.

No, it will be on Maduro and his thugs, who have also been encouraging the invasion of our southern border.
You forgot your sarcasm tag. Or is that you, Jimmy Carter?

You have it backwards.
If one of our diplomats gets hurt that will guarantee US military intervention on the side of the anti-Maduro forces.
It would eliminate with certainty whatever remaining chance he has to hold onto power.
“Pompeo warned “the Venezuelan military and security forces” not to attempt to remove the diplomats by force or retaliate over their refusal. “We call on all parties to refrain from measures that are inconsistent with the privileges and immunities enjoyed by members of the diplomatic community,” he said. “The United States will take appropriate actions to hold accountable anyone who endangers the safety and security of our mission and its personnel.””
translation of Pompeo’s diplomatic statement into the vernacular:
“We double-dog dare you to touch a single hair on a single one of our diplomats ... we’re just itching for a excuse to send in troops to “rescue” any “hostages” ...”

That’s their job. As long as the American diplomats are in Venezuela, Maduro dares not try anything stupid, or if he does it will go badly for him
I’d wager the word is out that if that happens, Maduro has been warned he will become a red mist....
