Last I heard Venezuela had not released the five Americans they are holding, and the helicopters are American helicopters.

What's this "Congress" thing you speak of?

Time to place sanctions on the USA for an act of aggression against a country and it's leader.

Sadly the leaders of my country are too cowardly to do anything but kvetching.

But there is consolation in the knowledge that a war can be started, but not stopped at any time. Now the USA has started a new war, and it will be seen how long it takes until it stops.

The president previously designated Venezuela as a foreign terrorist organization.

It's not a war, it's a "Special Military Operation". Should be pretty quick.

yeah, thats not how it works, you don't jut get to invade a country because you label someone something. Trump could then just label anyone a terrorist organization. Laws still matter to the rest of thew world even if the republicans no longer care.

Interesting read:

US wargames played out scenarios for Maduro’s fall. None of them ended well for Venezuela

Venezuelan politicians battling to end Maduro’s rule reject claims his downfall would thrust their country into maelstrom of bloodshed and retribution

www.theguardian.com

US experts seem to agree that Venezuela is going to turn into a hellhole pronto. But somebody has to stand up to the experts, as the saying goes.

The democratically elected president, consulting with his advisors, makes the designations of terrorist organizations. Venezuela is a not just a key player in the drug trade, but in fact has an alliance with Iran, Russian, and China. Venezuela allows Hezbollah to operate from within their country. I don't think most people realize how close our country was to disaster, what with the flooding of America with over 10 to 20 million people, terrorists and cartel members included, that so enhanced the drug and human trafficking businesses. Then there was the imminent threat of a nuclear bomb from Iran. The United States is fighting back.

I may not agree with Trump's methods, but I am glad Maduro is gone. Hopefully, Venezuela can take full advantage of this opportunity to elect a leader of their choice, not one of the U.S.' or some military leader's choice. May God bless them and protect them during this crisis.

Yes, that is kind of funny because the USA has a leader it wants to install already. At some point lets hope for free and fair elections soon.
