So, to our opponents: If you cause us and / or our allies too much trouble, if it comes to armed conflict, you have "no chance"

I don't think anyone here is disagreeing with the position that if a foe attacks us, we should respond by orders of magnitude, but some are advocating a unilateral military intervention to throw out Maduro, and that is a no-go. Venezuelans, who wanted socialism in the first place, are not worth a single American life lost.

This isn’t for the Venezuelans (for the most part).

Military intervention should be the last resort, though, so I do not advocate it at this time.
