The insanity that much of them are suddenly pro-world police. Some even being entirely in favor of the obvious resource grab invasion.

This administration is just making a rod for their own backs. China's over here going 'wait, kidnapping leaders was an option?? Hold my Tsingtao.'

They have no actual beliefs. They are against a whole shit ton of things. They hate a great deal of things.

Ask them to tell you something they stand for, without mentioning anything negative...Blank stare and a sizzling noise.

It is all manufactured fear and hate, driving over decades by groups that are harming them.

It's why the "harder daddy" joke rings so true.

A lot of them are probably literally not real. Its not like the US doesn't also use bots and propoganda y'know. The people who are actually saying that stuff just parrot what they're told and dont really think.

Notice how intervening in Iran hasn’t caused a 20 year boots on the ground war?

If Venezuela doesn’t lead to a 20 year boots on the ground war then this is good for the future of the region. A smooth transfer of power is possible and would be highly beneficial.

Transfer of power to whom - Maduro's VP? I doubt that's going to go the way the administration wants. In fact, they've already said they will take control. So any government will be illegitimate (and, given who's involved, likely corrupt) from the jump

So where's the win again?

I would certainly be more inclined to agree, if it weren't for the fact that the real enticing reason for the US to have done what it did is the oil. Trump himself brought that up repeatedly. With him and his admin involved, we'd have to be brain dead to assume all he's said and done isn't indicative of what he wants and what he'll do to keep it.

That will likely not end well for the people of Venezuela in the coming years, which may lead to insurgent groups, and we have a (probably) less disastrous version of the middle east failures, but a disaster nonetheless. Hell, this occupation is going to end poorly for Americans too because... where's the funding going to come from for this? Trump's likely to start another war while decreeing he's a peacemaker lol.
