I'm mixed on Venezuela. China has been very aggressive about taking over the international waters of the South China Sea. Letting Venezuela fall into China's control with all the oil resources down there does not sit well with me. Also Venezuelan's are suffering from their socialist fuck-up government... So intervention to get things back on track for the citizens down there is not unreasonable. That's not to say prior administrations and actions by the US have been fucked up.
I want Venezuela to be free and prosperous not under the control of any foreign actors (Russia, China or the US). However, US intervention to reset their government and prosperity would be cool... if it were done similar to how the US reset Japan after WWII.
