To be fair, it is isnt exactly an invasion. We just went in to take him out (he was probably given up by his peers). There's an opposition party that's pro US that's arguably won the last 3 presidential elections waiting to take power.
So what happens if China pulls one of these on the new regime?

I doubt we get that in this press conference. But if I had to guess we’ll see us reach out to whatever opposition exists in Venezuela and work with them to root out whatever remains of the Maduro regime an eventually set up free and fair elections. Of course we will guide matters to where a government friendly to the US emerges.
The good news is that, unlike Iraq and Afghanistan that only understand totalitarianism, Venezuela does at least have the mentality to comprehend the concept of democracy and republicanism. So odds are at least better here that a functioning government can emerge from all this.

I know the dude was up all night but his speech has definitely been slurred during this briefing.

You mean the "Donroe doctrine"? Some people are calling it that, apparently.

Couldn’t care less what thy call it. What I care about is that what was for all intents and purposes a hostile to the US puppet state of China and Russia is no more.

No doubt Maduro is a dictatorial mafia like criminal scum bag whom the average local citizen detests. They can barely purchase daily common food supplies. Some days, none.
As General Powell said, "You Break It You Own It."

The US removed a guy who had been voted out and would not leave (almost certainly with the help of a lot of Venezuelans).
In your scenario, China would be going in to remove the guy/gal who was subsequently elected by those Venezuelans.
Even if you say what the US did was unjustified, there’s a clear difference here.

I think its funny how we have 700 plus bases across the world, but China does business with Venezuela and MAGA pisses themselves.

It wasn’t just this that was the problem smooth brain. It was a long list of reasons why we did this.
China does business and is in relationships with lots of countries.

Rubio doing a good job as messenger here. Clear messaging without rambling.
