The obvious question is what happens next? Do we send marines in to finish the job? Or do we just let this fester?
Do you hate US Marines? WHy should any American kid die in Venezuela? NOT ONE.
There is good reason to keep China and Russia and Iran out of Venezuela. But at most maybe some air is all we should provide. Maybe ammo.
The Venezuelan people need to do the fighting. I mean 100%. They voted the SOB in. Time for them to stand up and do some Concord and Lexington stuff down there.
But no, we don’t need to murder our Marines in a south American civil war in a swampy mountainous nation in South America the size of Texas.
Above my pay grade, especially with the limited info available to me.
Clearly we should send in the Marines. There must be a handful that don’t have PTSD yet. We have been at war for 18 straight years in 4 countries. (Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, & Syria) Why not add a 5th and more years?...

Make it an OAS (Organization of American States) joint effort led by the US. Columbia and Brazil have already indicated they will support the US.
Venezuela needs to be rid of the Communist bastards.
I think Russia will pull Maduro out of there....and fly him to Russia.
It’s a Civil War.
One problem is Maduro, a Communist would be replaced with Guiado, a Socialist.

I’m with you, we send in the boys, get the job done, and then quickly send them home. It’s our backyard and anyone opposing our attempts to establish freedom there is simply doing the dirty work of Putin and the Leftists in this country. I’m old enough to remember the Cold War and having to deal with Democrats here doing everything possible to help the Soviets take over Central America, so I’m aware of their tactics.
