Why are right-wingers happy with what Trump has done? Do they care about Venezuelans? Statistically, every country that the US has invaded and interfered with a year later was much worse off. Will this time be any different? Now is the time for Venezuelans to put their differences aside and unite to fight for their freedom. Otherwise, in a year's time, they will be much worse off than they are now.

We are happy for many reasons. 1 Venezuelans will go back home. 2 China will not expand its control over the world. 3 The worst situation you see after freedom in many cases is just the real situation when you take away censorship. I am quite happy to see Venezuelans party for their freedom. Now it is their turn to remove the communist cancer from their society as El Salvador did. No deal. Remove them. All of them.
I've been thinking about this. It seems hard for Americans to imagine that a democratic republic isn't the best government form of government for everyone on the planet. I think the truth is many people prefer physical safety and security over freedom and representation.
How have you come to this view when the U.S interventions in Panama and Granada ended dictatorships and helped bring back democratic rule to those nations? Do you believe that every situation is a re-run of Iraq even when they're completely different?

And honestly, do you trust that the US will do the right thing this time? My position is that Venezuelans now have an opportunity that they didn't have before, and that Trump is not going to guarantee that they will be better off in a year's time. In fact, with the data at hand, they will be worse off, so now is the time for Venezuelans to fight for their freedom and not give up.
The best case scenario is total mayhem in Venezuela because the actual target of this is China and if this blatent overthrow turns into a successful regime change then it emboldens the same type of actors all over the global South, which means China is forced to start paying hardball. People don't realize how close we are to an all out nuclear exchange depending on what happens this week.
