“” “” Best for VZ to settle this. Why? Because the US is will get entangled in yet another foreign war? Not really. If we were to invade VZ it would not take much to topple Maduro. That is if we limited scope to toppling Maduro with no nation building.”” “”
The same was said about every ‘little victorious war’ by neocons.
The official propaganda in Venezuela states that all the problems are due to US sanctions and sabotage. It doesn’t mention Maduro and socialism as the reasons.
These statements are actually corresponding with US official statements. No less than half of the people if not more believe it. People who aren’t mostly left already.
To think they would universally welcome foreign invasion and by the power which is allegedly behind their sores is a naively surpassing Iraqi proportion.
Once again nothing I know about Guiado indicates he is any better than Maduro. Guiado is a Communist rebranded Socialist which is not saying much. The fact that he is backed by the CIA and Deep State doesn’t say he is a good guy.
Let the Venezuelans fix their problems themselves. Any other approach is costly and you would own the result and all the hatred generated by that result.
“The same was said about every ‘little victorious war’ by neocons.”
Not really. None of these previous wars were entered into lightly and often came about after months of debate, wrangling and posturing. The subsequent problems were less the initial engagements (usually weeks) than the unnecessary nation-building and endless peacemaking. Trump has no interest in that if you believe him and have faith in him.
No this could be a fairly straight-forward operation if Trump decides to topple Maduro, transfer power to the new government poised to take control and exit. That is — if Trump does it his way.
Should Bolton have said US invasion is off the table? It seems to be just a ploy to put pressure on VZ. I see little real action by Trump to invade VZ.
Is Trump a “neocon” too? After all he hired Bolton.
My preference would be for Trump to stay out for the reasons previously stated. The bigger picture is for the world to see communism get defeated from inside a country.
The Venezuelans themselves? Or do you mean the Cubans, Russians, Red Chinese who are buttressing Maduros regime? This is easy set a deadline for these parasites to get out, after witch we go hunting them. Maduros collapses on his own and it is up to Guiado and the military to be interested stability to Venezuela. No nation building on our part.
