Prediction: the regime will not fall. This will destabilize the country further, not so much the regime itself. There will be a decrease in oil production, marginally boosting world prices. What's probably being taken out right now is the regime's ability to react in any meaningful way to the oil embargo. It will also allow Maduro to throw his hands in the air and blame the US for all of VZLA's ills going forward. Mo…

US is an expert in trying to artificially build democracies.

Let freedom ring. Every Venezuelan I know is happy for the regime to fall. Let's hope Iran, Cuba, North Korea and Russia follow soon.

That’s interesting who are they? The few venezuelas I know hate it too, so like is this a gulf war 1 or Iraq war 2?

This usually (never) goes well for the USA. (Source: pick a regime change war.)

Before anyone starts telling us how they are attacking a legitimate president and that the people will defend it, take your time to find your closest Venezuelan (there are 8 million around the world, so don't need to look to far) and ask him how he feels about this, you will find that happy is part of their emotions.

This is a bit like asking Cubans in the US how they feel about Castro. The ones who left don't tend to be the most ardent supporters of the regime...

That's not going to play well with DJT's bid for Nobel Peace Prize. Although I guess invading Sweden would be a solution, and there are probably plenty of reasons to invade Sweden - they must be looking badly at Russia, or he can mix it up with Groenland, or something. That being said, how many continents are we left from being able to call that a bona fide world war ? Can we count Africa as "in a state of war per de…

He already has the FIFA Peace Prize, he doesn’t care anymore.

Well maybe not considering he's just clearing the way for the current nobel peace prize winner to assume power

This is illegal, immoral and not supported by the vast majority of the country. Every us citizen and every elected official needs to act, now, to stop this.

The majority of the country voted for this.

Trump won the electoral vote.

Trump asked why the US can't nuke other countries when it has so many nukes. Trump loves war ("department of war") loves bombing other countries - always has. That he is so eager to use nukes should frighten everyone.
