Because I don’t want a Russian mi!itary base in Venezuela or the Chinese and Russians getting control of the biggest oil producer in SA. Neither should you.
It likely will not come to armed conflict. This is sabre rattling to support the efforts of Venezuela’s lawful, constitutional national assembly to rid themselves of a tyrant that circumvented the Venezuelan constitution to get elected.
If another country “intervened” in the US to install a losing presidential candidate - eg Hillary - would you consider it an act of war? When did Congress declare war on Venezuela? Or is provision of the Constitution no longer worth following? If so, what other provisions of the Constitution should be treated as dead letters?
