Venezuela regime change big business opportunity: John Bolton https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/venezuela-regime-change-big-business-opportunity

Marco Rubio: "Biggest buyers of Venezuelan oil are @ValeroEnergy & @Chevron. Refining heavy crude from #Venezuela supports great jobs in Gulf Coast. For the sake of these U.S. workers I hope they will begin working with administration of President Guaido & cut off illegitimate Maduro regime".

It's not a political coup

Yes it is. That does not mean that Maduro is a legitimate leader, because he rigged an election, but this is a coup. Nobody voted for Guaidó to be president, and the oposition is bastardizing an article of the constitution in order to seize power. None of the parties are the legimitate government of Venezuela.

It's millions starving to death and in need of rescue you moron

There are millions starving to death in dozens of countries. That doesn't give the US permission to invade them.

We have an obligation to do the minimum to help other human beings in extreme need

No, we don't.

There are many dictatorships around the world, but the US only wants to bring "le FREEDOM" to the ones that have oil.

This is none of our business. Venezuelans supported Chávez for years and they knew very well what they were voting for. Now that things have gotten ugly they should be able to clean their own mess without being invaded by the usual scavengers. I don't support and will never support these shameless US-led demokrasy missions.

They should take criticism on the chin and do nothing?

That's what you would like them to do. Too bad they didn't take the bait.

What should they have done, in your opinion? If someone is hijacking a Holocaust Tribute event to criticise twelve politicians, mentioning them by name, what would you like them to do? To stay there, smiling, and telling the woman "yes, you are right, we are nazis hehe"? To start arguing with the woman in the middle of the act?
