It is RUSSIA who is directly intervening in Venezuelan affairs. While I cannot confirm its accuracy, it was said that Maduro was actually on the runway ready to flee to Cuba when the Russians came with his Spetznaz troops. The only reason that Maduro and his cabal loyalists in the military and security forces are still controlling things is through Russian support.
We have every right to prevent such support. This even includes military consultation (not intervention) with President Guaido’s allies, though at this point would not be necessary. Finally, if Guaido and the majority of the populace of Venezuela request ANY military assistance from the U.S., providing such requests are verified six ways to Sunday, then damn the Democrats and provide such assistance. But ONLY if asked for by the president and a majority of his constituents.

Under existing circumstances, it is impossible to determine the will of the people living in Venezuela.
They’re allies....
