any public celebrations would probably be dangerous.
By all accounts, streets in Venezuela are quiet.

I would rather stake my future in Cuba, if the Trump takes control, than in Britain.

Trumps strategic plan is on track. Starve out the entire population of Venzy in a few days and then we can have the oil and beaches to ourselves. Solid.

Thankfully, an “interim” NarcoTerrorist Regime has been placed in power and all is well.

There's been a crisis in Venezuela since they elected Hugo Chavez.
Why do you think they elected Hugo Chavez?
The country solely depends on oil revenue... the majority of the population was extremely poor. There was unrest and violence, eventually the oil industry was nationalized (in the mid-70s) and lots of money was spent on social programs. But oil is a constantly up and down thing, and when oil prices fell, there was trouble... and tons of corruption was exposed in the government.
Chávez was a political outsider, not a member of either of the two political parties, a populist... he ran on draining the swamp...

At least I have an answer to my rhetorical question above: allowing narco-terrorists to maintain control of Venezuela is now MAGA.
The true answer here is it appears the justification for this entire operation is being made up as it happens in real time.

Venezuelans must fear that they won't be able to find any more rotten meat at the market to buy and feed to their kids.

He didn't just drain it, he killed all the creatures.
Like most communists, he only knew how to take from others and not produce. He seized all the oil production, promptly ran that industry into the ground and when the price of crude dropped, well they were dead in the water and have never recovered.

Words are so hard!
As are the questions about this “interim” narco terrorist government. Such as:
How does the U.S. reconcile its past criminal actions, especially those involving the CIA and it’s long history of drug trafficking, with its current narrative about targeting narco-terrorist states?
How does the U.S. intend to address the allegations that the Maduro regime coordinated with Tren de Aragua and narcotics trafficking if many of those same elements are in the “interim” government?
How would the U.S. manage the potential for violence and instability in Venezuela if pro-Maduro forces resist American involvement?
How do we expect pro- and anti-Maduro factions within the “interim” government to work together peacefully to ensure stability?
What will be the role of Delcy Rodríguez in this arrangement, and how will her interests align with the stated U.S. objectives?
Has Rodríguez been implicated in narcotics trafficking and other criminal enterprises?
What specific measures does the U.S. intend to implement in “running” Venezuela without an occupying force?
If Venezuelans later elect leaders who oppose further U.S. involvement, will the U.S. military intervene again?
What implications does this plan have for U.S. relations with Colombia and other neighboring countries?
If Venezuela’s petroleum rights are restored to U.S. companies, will the U.S. require a permanent military presence to safeguard it’s oil interests in Venezuela?
How will the U.S. manage the complexities of engaging with a country that is home to a diverse population of over 30 million people?
How does the U.S. avoid long-term entanglement in Venezuelan affairs, given all the complexities involved?
What is the time-frame for the exit plan?

We should jail them for misinformation.

That seems like a fine list of legitimate questions/concerns.
