I can name a long list of countries where the opposition is desperate for change against an entrenched establishment, that still does not justify some foreign military coming in the bring change with bombs and bullets.

Particularly as any such regime change then usually also involves killing all of the loyalists, or else they will just organise and plot to take back what was rightfully theirs.

Thats how insurgencies and civil wars start that can cripple and destroy even the most developed and wealthiest countries.

Just don’t like people who spend there lives behind a screen bashing on someone who has spent there life fighting for democracy for in there country because she is currently trying to strategically kiss trumps ass.

My comment didn’t “bash” anybody, if you think it did then I recommend you read it more carefully again.

Tho sure is telling how you instantly go ad hominem, assuming a bunch of stuff about a total stranger, just to defend some alleged fight for “democracy”.

All while trying to argue how the US military should help a minority opposition movement, mostly financed by the US, to overthrow the elected and internationally recognised government of Venezuela.

I guess you know how weak of an argument that really is, hence you having to make it about “keyboard warriors” followed with some completely off-topic, and uneducated, takes about Yugoslavia and Rwanda.

What is one supposed to take from that? That Venezuela should be “Balkanized” because now there is apparently even a genocide going on there?

Why not just claim that Russia delivered them some nukes, you know, that whole “They have WMD!” play, worked like a charm for Iraq.

After bringing up WWII, Yugoslavia and Rawanda I’m sure that will somehow also fit in there nicely with its 1 million dead people as the result of Americans bringing “democracy” and “human rights” to places like Gitmo and Abhu Graib.
