I don’t trust D party courts to support R Trump, but until last Saturday there was a bipartisan consensus in the US against Maduro’s legitimacy.

I sure hope we don’t put an army into Venezuela. I’m not sure if Trump could do it with D opposition, but Trump Derangement might actually lead the D party to put an occupying US army in there to spite Trump.

Bruce says:

It’s reasonable to see Maduro as a drug dealer with no legitimate claim to be a head of state.

This depends on who and how one defines “legitimate”, doesn’t it?

Best we can do is hope that Trump’s ‘running Venezuela’ remarks are salesman’s puffery.

Or simply nonsense. Trump cannot even run USA (nor run from USA now). How and why would he run Venezuela?

It’s reasonable to see Maduro as a drug dealer with no legitimate claim to be a head of state.

But in that case, we have no business sticking around in Venezuela now that he’s gone. Best we can do is hope that Trump’s ‘running Venezuela’ remarks are salesman’s puffery.
