Additional note: saying regime change is “theoretically defensible” and only flawed because Trump did it badly is also a problem. That assumes the U.S. has the right to decide who governs Venezuela in the first place. Imperialism with better manners is still imperialism. Trump just rips the mask off the whole sordid charade.

Let me be clear by what I meant, as I obviously didn't spend any actual space defining it.

Maduro was almost certainly in power illegally as the 2024 election was almost certainly not legitimate. For that reason, the US (along with lots of other countries) has some interest in seeing Maduro removed from power and legitimate elections held in Venezuela with the actual results respected by all.

Nothing in that supports the US taking any sort of military or other direct action toward regime change in the country. The US's role - along with many others - should be supporting legitimate elections and legitimate transitions of power based on those elections without concern for the particulars of who wins those elections and then holds those offices.
 

Thank you AOC...

The media was chasing the Epstein/Trump scandal, and the skyrocketing health care insurance premiums and health care costs is happening next week

Trump is stupid, but he knows media. At least for the next few weeks , neither the Epstein files nor the health care catastrophe will be covered because Venezuela will be the new shiny object☹️
 
I'll just say this, the Democrat party has become a group of some of the most miserable, intolerable people I have ever seen. I can't speak for anyone else but it became unbearable for me, a lifelong Democrat, to remain a part of this new Democrat party. Obama went around blowing up people with drones, American citizen included, and y'all want to question whether Trump had the authority to capture Maduro? You want to cry about boats full of narcotics being blown up? No wonder, you defend any and everything opposed to Donald Trump even if it is not in your best interest to do so. Just imagine how different your opinion would be if it were Biden or Obama carrying out these operations.

The man is a narco terrorist. His country is directly involved in the trafficking of drugs into the US. He was indicted by the Biden Administration for these crimes. We have 100s of thousands of deaths within the US directly attributed to illegal drug use. He has massive oil reserves he uses to fund his illegal operations. He perpetuates the influence of our enemies in our own backyard. He sent many of the most dangerous and undesirable people he had in his country into the US when Biden opened the border to whomever wanted to come, and people want to bitch about him being arrested? I guess a foreign leader can commit whatever crimes they want against the US but as long as they stay within their own country there is nothing that can be done about it short of going to war? Wrong.

And all this has gone on year after year after year, among many other things, while a bunch of do-nothing politicians sit back a watch while massive damage is committed against the US...all the while being re-elected by supports who have been convinced to hate the other party more that the incompetence of the politicians within their own.

Unless you feel it is good for narco terrorists to control countries while pumping their drugs into the US killing citizen after citizen. Unless you feel it is good for there to exist an open border between us and them...then why don't you get on the right side of things? Why don't you stop defending people who deserve no such defense such as narco terrorists, Somali fraudsters, career criminals who roam our streets, or incompetent at best, corrupt at worst, US politicians? How about quit letting party affiliation dictate what is good and what is bad, what needs be supported and what doesn't?

If you know you would support an action carried out by the party you support and oppose the exact same action if carried out by the party you don't, then you need to get your priorities straight. And that goes in both directions, Democrats and Republicans.
