Trump got a win. Thats always a source of unhappiness for leftists, democrooks, RINOs, and various other never-Trump human debris.

Hank, everyone here knows you’re a pedophile supporting leftist. You have a long history of taking up leftwing positions. Don’t think people have forgotten just because you changed your screen name

You seem to have already concluded this will be the outcome based on previous involvements.

Naw. I said it's more likely than not, though.

We may get lucky. It's not unprecedented.

He's doing that here, via neocon Rubio. Venezuela is a bad example to use for that comment.

So the US would install even more regime change and further destabilize the country?

I'm talking about Venezeualans, not China.

From an objective analysis, it's not that clear. Removing Saddam and Ghaddafi were also great...in isolation. Big picture did not reflect the same success.

retrospect is always more accurate, but represents timid people

I would guess nobody fighting back is pretty meaningful to a soldier on the ground.

Agreed. I just don't see any of that on PoliBoard.

I spent to much time involved with lawsuits and the ones that stick out, and fall apart as well, are the ones that are bloviated, over worded or lack critical thinking. For a supposed lawyer who spends his time this heavily on social media, remember this is but one site, his time is not spent on clients needs. So he is potentially the bottom 10% or a mere genius that rivals the Morris Barts of the world in suburbia store fronts. Either that or he’s but a tub of shitt sitting in one room apartment somewhere

He by all accounts was not only illegitimate but he basically changed/refused the results of their election. His dictatorship has plunged them deeper into economic despair and poverty, not to mention the sanctions that he has brought upon their country because of his leadership of a cartel. He cozied up to bad actors, worked around sanctions and is guilty of crimes against his people and indirectly ours. His capture and whatever happens next to him is just and only a small minority has a problem with this.

Not to diminish your question, but whether anyone wants to spike the football, characterize the action as a war, or even condemn the President is immaterial. This has happened and the only thing that matters is the question that most rightly ask, what comes next?

There is always instability when a transition of power happens in an asymmetrical way. The variables here are many and complex and will require a proportional solution. The only hope that anyone should have is that it be more peaceful and expeditious than other similar campaigns.

An efficient first action will be either celebrated or condemned over time depending on success of the actions that follow. Wherever anyone falls on the political spectrum that wishes failure in this matter out of hatred for our President is a despicable person.

Not unreasonable but be fair, you're looking for the negative possible blowback and not all the positive blowback that's coming with it as well.

Weigh that honestly.
