Collapse is inevitable, but strong arm tactics can keep him in power for years.
The right thing for the US to do is let him be deposed by his own people, but have an MEU/ARG and hospital ships ready to move in when a new government takes over and asks for help.
Not us along, but as a part of a South/Central American effort to bring order back once the fighting is over.
And how exactly is ANYTHING that goes on in Venezuela (outside of major genocide/starvation) ANY of America's business?
Let's see, it impacts the world oil market, which impacts our interests, it gives places like China and Russia an opportunity to expand their influence in the region, which impacts our interests, it's destabilizing to other countries in the area, which impacts our interests.
Plus if it keeps getting worse we could see the same level of piracy seen off the coast of somalia, which impacts our interests.
I did not ask what your neocon goals were...they all fall under the 'well duh' category.
And that does not make it America's business. That just makes it America's interest. BIG difference.
I realize you have problems with these simple questions, but:
Does America have the right - under international law - to militarily intervene in Venezuela's internal affairs (when there is no mass starvation or genocide)?
Yes or no?
Please actually read my post. I have said we go in if invited by whatever government takes over after Maduro is deposed.
In that case, YES, we have the right and the responsibility to send aid and try to get them back on their feet again.
Juan Guaidó has won no election. He is NOT the legal leader of Venezuela (even though Trump says he is).
America has ZERO right under international law to send in troops to help him.
Show me a link to unbiased, factual proof that I am wrong.
You cannot.
and something being out interest MAKES it our business.
LOL...the neocon credo.
So ANYTHING that someone else is interested in - MAKES it their business?
Okay...so it's China's business everything America does? It's Iran's business everything America does.
And why stop at countries?
So if I am interested in my neighbor's wife - that automatically makes whatever she does my business?
Interesting arrogance you neocons have.
