People do not like to have governments thrust upon them by a foreign power, even a government of philosopher kings. Let the people of Venezuela solve this one by themselves.
We have far to often gone abroad looking for monsters to slay, and unleashing an arrogant thug like Pompeo can only damage our standing in the world.
It is not like the US is alone in supporting Venezuela’s opposition leader. Have you looked at the world map at the Countries that are aligned with us?
Try to understand the facts here. Venezuela has a constitution. They have “constitutionally” appointed an interim President of their general assembly until new elections can be held and have declared Maduro illegitimate. This is their 25th amendment if you will or their impeachment process.
The U.S. Is simply joining with 13 of the 14 signators of the Lima treaty which is like the South American NATO as well as Canada and the EU to assist Venezuela in throwing off Maduro and Communism.I
No one is thrusting a new govt on Venezuela and to date Poll So has been a stellar Secretary of State and in lockstep with the wishes of the President.
