There was a thread a while back right after the attacks on the drug boats started where I said there was absolutely no chance the US is invading Venezuela. That this was all just saber rattling.

We just kidnapped their president and took over the country. Nothing to see here, clear sails ahead.

Venezuela's government-controlled National Electoral Council (CNE) declared that incumbent Nicolas Maduro was the winner of the 2024 election with about 51% of the vote against opposition candidate Edmundo González's 44%, granting him a third term. However, the CNE provided no detailed polling-station tallies to support this claim, despite legal requirements and past practices.
The opposition collected over 80% of the voting machine receipts (actas), publishing them online and showing González winning by a wide margin (around 67% to Maduro's 30%). Independent analyses (e.g., by The Associated Press, The Washington Post, and election experts) verified these tallies as authentic and consistent, while describing the official results as statistically implausible or fraudulent.
International observers, including the Carter Center (the only independent group allowed to monitor), concluded the election "did not meet international standards of electoral integrity" and "cannot be considered democratic," citing irregularities like voter intimidation, blocked monitors, and lack of transparency. The United Nations, OAS, EU, and many countries (including the US, which recognized González as the winner) rejected Maduro's victory.
Countries allied with Maduro (e.g., Russia, China, Cuba) recognized his win. Widespread protests followed, with reports of repression, deaths, and arrests.
The WORLD should have removed this man from power two years ago and not waited for what happened today. The people of Venezuela celebrate today.

Didn’t you hear? The republicans are a threat to democracy, not the democrats who undemocratically anointed the elites chosen presidential candidate rather than…. Idk….. let the people vote?

This is simply installing the regime that was rightfully elected before Maduro stole it.

Yes. Maduro 100% stole the last election.
Yes. Maduro/Chavez are terrible people that absolutely destroyed a once prosperous country.
Yes. Venezuela is allied with China/Russia.
But if that is our foreign policy we've got quite a few presidents to arrest.
Trump is already talking about nation building. Rubio is already saying Cuban leaders should be worried.
This is a NeoCon's wet dream.

Again - since when is this American foreign policy? Do you have any idea how many other places we'd need to go if we actually cared about this?....or how many rightfully elected leaders we tossed out because they weren't pro-US, specifically in Latin America?

Their “president”. Let’s not pretend he was elected, or that he was wanted.

Go look at my last post. While American leftists are losing their minds, the people of Venezuela are taking to the streets to celebrate being liberated from the repressive, and illegitimate, socialist regime of Maduro.

That was not the only thing. The regime was trafficking narcotics into our country. The regime was also violating embargos acrross the globe. This was in our strategic interest as well as that of the Venezuelan people and their neighbors. All without losing a soldier.
And the President just reversed a 90 year old reversal of the Roosevelt Corollary of the Monroe Doctrine. Hardly new.
And he never said nation buiilding. Not once.

You really want to go there? The Ukraine that Dims started 2 wars in? The Ukraine that they used to impeach Trump because he tried to stop what was going on?
You know, the Trump that you hate

No. He just said we're going to take over their primary source of income, rebuild their infrastructure, and run the country.

I 100% agree Maduro was anti-American, destroyed that country, Venezuelans by and large in Venezuela and in the US hated the man, and it should be good for the US that he's now out of power (TBD on who/how long actually runs the country without him). Taking him out is exactly what NeoCons would've supported.
