What Bolton wants isn’t a surprise. We have to demand from Trump no foreign wars. No boots on the ground. I have no problem with using all the levers of power available to help the people there, but no military. Make there neighbors Columbia and Brazil do the heavy lifting.

So you invade Colombia to get them to invade Venezuela?
Why not get the Venezuelans to support the Congress? There were about 200 people at a quiet pro-Guaido demonstration in Caracas today. The police were bored. A neutral contingent of first aide volunteers stood buy just in case. They can't even muster as many people as the women's march against Trump. On that note, there are far more do-able women shouting "not my president" in the small anti-Maduro marches than there are in the much larger anti-Trump marches. How do you explain that demographic?

Watch this. The Venezuelan people are always joyful no matter what is happening. This made me LMAO.
January 23rd is significant for the Venezuelan people, because in the 50s they also took out a military guy, who was a dictator called Perez Jimenez.

The answer for you is fear. Fear of prosecution.
I was raised in Venezuela. People here cannot fathom the pain over there the last few years. I have been infuriated all day reading comments from people who claim to be analytical thinkers, calling this a US coup for oil, etc. You probably know the drill.
What they do not understand is that people there are begging for help. They are desperate. Since I have not been there for over 20 years, I personally do not know much about the political parties, and much less about the guy who claims the presidency. What bothers me about him, is that he is also a socialist. But he has promised fair elections, so people can decide. And assuming you support Trump, since you are in this forum. If POTUS has made the decision to stand behind him to help the people of Venezuela, that is good enough for me.
Those that claim the US will take over, have not observed POTUS. He did not take out the president of Syria. He has not topple a government. I saw on twitter people blaming him for Libya. WTF? Look at North Korea, similar situation.

They pay for coyote pelts in some parts...Not because they make good coats, but because they are thieving vermin to be eradicated on sight. Just an observation.
