As long as we don't send troops down there, I support whatever they do to get rid of Madura.

Why what? Madura is a dictator, that is ruining the country. I'm not for putting American lives at risk to solve other nations problems.

@LonelyMan maduro is a dictator? So even Jimmy Carter and independent verifiers, at the time of the last election, said that Venezuela has one of the most robust electoral systems in the world.
The state tv allows all political groups on tv and if you look there's plenty of criticism of maduro. Not much of a dictator is he??
The party of gauido didn't even run in the election, they pulled out.
4 in 5 Venezuelans hadnt even heard of gauido. No idea who this guy is.
No mention of the sanctions imposed by the US, Europe and others?

I put very little value in what Jimmy Carter says. The people starving and leaving Venezuela in droves are not to happy with Madura.

@LonelyMan again, no mention of the sanctions imposed. No mention of the bank of America and England withholding $8 billion from Venezuela?
If you're worried about the starving people then do you agree that we should remove these sanctions, release their assets/money that would alleviate the plight of the Venezuelan public?

I will plead ignorance on the details you bring up. I don't know much on Vevezuela, but I do believe Madura and Chavez have ruined their nation- Socialism does not work- period, Sure the media distorts the truth, but usually they distort it in favor of Socialists and liberals. You obviously are very passionate about this, and I'm sure you know more than I do about this subject.

@LonelyMan that's cool and I'm a rank amateur to be honest but cheers for the ego boost (not needed lol).
I disagree with your view on socialism and the slant of the msm but it's all good to disagree.
Venezuela definitely made a.few errors and should have divested its economy from relying solely on oil and maduro has made one big decision that could be interpreted as anti-democratic.
Saying that. We have zero right to impose another president and plead with the Venezuelan military to back this coup......plus they have potentially the largest source of oil in the world and John Bolton has said that's what the US wants.
If we are.going to espouse democracy and human rights we should at the very least practice what we preach rather than use it as an excuse to invade other countries
