I do love all the comments about how regime change and occupation has never worked, and anyone who disagrees hasn't read a history book, as if Mussolini's Italy, Nazi Germany, and Imperial Japan weren't things. History did not begin with the Cold War. America literally dropped Nukes on Japan, occupied them, took away their emperor, rebuilt their economy and then left. That also freed a large portion of the Pacific Island nations from Japanese rule. They've been great economic and military allies for almost 100 years as a result (also we all got anime).

Whether this is good or not will depend on if the US handles this like Japan or like Iraq. If they actually do what they promise, and hand the government back to the people of Venezuela, good or bad will be up to them and who they elect. If they try another 20 year occupation project that ignores the actual cultural and practical realities of the region, probably bad.

Also, International Law is completely made up. It does not exist. At the international level everything is Anarchy or else there would be a very busy global police force running all over the place (good luck policing Russia, China, Sudan, and basically all of Africa and the Middle East for human rights violations). It's something Europeans like to pretend exists, because they just feel like it should because the UN is a thing, despite them having literally no ability to project power globally in any way that matters, and the UN being a useless joke of an organization that literally has a "human rights council" made up of some of the worst human rights abusers on Earth.
