If other nations do no more than protest then this will happen in places like Greenland And even Canada is in play. Nations need to impose sanctions on America as nations have imposed sanctions on Russia over Ukraine, or America has imposed sanctions on Iran. There need to be consequences that hurt Trump in his pocket and that Americans feel and scream about until Fox news notices..😷
@sunsporter1649 You want me to waste words on you, who never has to put up a cogent argument , but resorts to insult or other people poor cartoons. In the immortal words of Billy Connolly "Go forth and be fruitful" (or something like that)😷
I respectfully disagree with your statement about Trump setting a precedent.
Also there has as a result of this action by Trump, dusting off of the Monroe Doctrine. And it needs to be realized when the Falklands war erupted that doctrine was shelved as British military forces operated in our western hemisphere.
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow No, just killing. And if you call Maduro a world leader, well you might want to look up the definition of a leader which Maduro was not.
I agree it's about oil, Venezuela is not responsible for the majority of the drugs coming in this country that's a lie.

Is it a strategic move to keep alliances from forming between Venezuela and Russia or China, if so and still would be concerning who has the control over the oil.
It is about keeping the Petro dollar. Venezuela was about to do a Libya and go off the American currency. So long as the world trades oil in dollars the value of the dollar remains high. The minute the world stops buying oil in US currency the American economy crashes. Too much debt. No industrial base wealth is now created by trading paper not making things of value.
This time I agree. Was it just after he said he didn't want a bad guy to step up when he said he recognizes Maduro's VP as the new head of state or before? He doesn't want democracy, but he talked a lot about the oil.
Well, yes. This certainly isn't about democracy. Nor is it about drugs.
But it isn't even about oil. Surely, even this fascist gang couldn't believe they are going to be able to run a country nearly 50% LARGER than Afghanistan without several hundred U.S. troops on the ground and think the Venezuelans are going allow U.S. oil companies to extract THEIR oil, whether by a puppet regime or a U.S. overseer.
This is about the MID-TERMS.
(And, no, this isn't even remotely comparable to Iraq. Venezuela has not invaded any neighbors, nor attacked Israel, nor used weapons of mass destruction, nor plotted an attempt to assassinate a U.S. president).
@beckyromero Nah it's not even that. They can perfectly win the election in the status quo, controlling the media and at most doing voting suppression and manipulation in those only 3-4 key states.
