      Dear media libs: we know you hate Trump to the point of insanity, but please, don’t side with the cruel tyrant of Venezuela against the people of that oppressed and despoiled country just to spite “Drumpf”

      Rejecting another US regime change initiative is not "siding" with Maduro. Please try to understand this.

      I’m not saying this in a snarky way, I’m honestly asking- what do you mean? Is this not a popular uprising by the Venezuelan people against a despot who cheats in elections, jails the opposition, violates the Constitution, and has ruined the country? How is this a US plot?

      I didn't use the word "plot." The most powerful country in the Hemisphere and world proactively recognizing a leader who extra-legally declared himself president is a blatant and obvious attempt to facilitate regime change.

      Wouldn’t we be picking sides by (diplomatically) not picking sides? I’m not saying we should land the 82nd airborne in Caracas, but isn’t choosing to recognize Guaido the right move? Our government can recognize whomever it wants to. It’s our prerogative.

      Yeah, and the point of this recognition is to facilitate the ouster of Maduro. Thus, a regime change gambit.

      Why is that a bad move? From US or Venezuelan peoples’ perspective? Maduro is a catastrophe, and a tyrant.

      Sorry, but I'm not going to explain to you right now why US-facilitated regime change initiatives often have negative consequences. There is abundant, quickly-available evidence for that.

          Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t. I think Venezuela is an obvious case where regime change is better for everyone. Thanks for weighing in. I’ll leave it there.

          Buck, regime change as a US policy needs to end. BUT, there’s nothing wrong with private citizens supporting the Venezuelan people (ie, run guns to them, medical supplies, food, etc).

          US is just there to help the people Mike. Sure our track record is quite poor from this regard but I feel pretty good we'll get it right this time and our actions won't result in more death and destruction like all previous times. Keep your fingers crossed though.

          Dissimilar examples. Many others we have been far more invasive. This is the least confrontational way. This is not HRC in Libya
