Venezuala is a dumpster fire and their electoral system has broken down into a sham, but Trump's behavior just adds fuel on a fire. It reminds me of reporting a while ago that Trump was seriously floating the idea of invading Venezuela with his advisers, but was shot down on account of that being insane.

There's been 3 def-con 2 stories for presidential behavior today alone. Maneuvering to give a State of the Union address at the Capitol despite it being a willful violation of the law, Cohen cancelling his Congressional testimony after some blatant witness tampering on part of the President, and now this.

If only the US was acting alone you boob.
Guaidó was quickly recognised by the US, Canada, Brazil, Colombia and other US allies in the Americas. Donald Trump warned that “all options are on the table” if Maduro responded with force against the opposition

What's your argument here sub? Do you think US allies would've gone along with this US foreign policy position if the US wasn't leading it? Do you think the existence of US allies willing to back the US proves it is a sound thing to do?

Obviously, it can't be wrong if others do it too.

Maduro ordered US diplomats out of Venezuela in 72 hours. The Trump admin issued a counter statement that he doesn't have the authority to do that since he is not President. That sets up a hot situation in a short while.

Justice is might.
Almost every, no just every position you take on this board is void of morality and founded on mob rule.
Obviously.
But even a moron recognizes that fhe OP purposely omitted the list of countries.

That the OP is misleading and hyperbolic...that's the point.
