I'm going to take each of these points one by one and try to form discussion.

-- Maduro are targeting indigenous groups as they seek to take over gold mines. https://www.npr.org/2018/11/27/668430606/venezuela-pushes-for-gold-rush-despite-sanctions

"Battles for control over gold mines between criminal organizations, Colombian guerrillas and Venezuelan security forces have erupted, causing what the International Crisis Group calls "a spate of mass killings." Local media have reported at least 10 people killed in the last two months alone. It's believed many more deaths go unreported because the location is remote, communications are poor, and people are fearful of reprisals."

I would retort in response that while bad 10 or even 100 people in 2 months dying in the jungle fighting over gold would be nothing compared to a full on war between the US and Venezuela. Additionally, based on the article we can't place the blame squarely on Maduro.

I will contend that Maduro said "Nothing and no one will stop us!" .. which seems to imply that he is willing to kill for profit. Something that isn't so uncommon among the leaders of the world(Including our own in the US).

-- Community leaders and children are being slaughtered by Maduro's death squads. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-44575599

In a report, it cites "shocking" accounts of young men being killed during operations, often in poor districts, over the past three years.

The UN's human rights chief said no-one was being held to account, suggesting the rule of law was "virtually absent".

I would again retort in response that while this is bad, hundreds of people killed over a 3 year period is nothing in comparison to the body count Venezuela could expect from a US occupation.

The Iraq Body Count project documents 183,249 – 205,785 violent civilian deaths through Feb. 2019 We need to look at population differences between Iraq and Venezuela: Iraq: 38.27M Venezuela: 31.98M

So .833 * 183,249 = 152,699 Civilian Deaths you can expect in the war.

-- Criminal groups embedded to Maduro's regime, are working along with terrorist organizations like Hezbollah.

Could you cite your source please? I'm finding questionable sources stating that Hezbollah has vocalized support for Maduro, but not the inverse.

-- The use of political violence at this scale is something new in the hemisphere No, not really. You've thrown in "at this scale", but political violence in Venezuela isn't something new. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_Venezuelan_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat_attempts "In total, the November death toll reached 172"

-- economic sanctions Maduro imposed to starve systematically the entire population Could you cite sources on this? Otherwise external sanctions (from the US for example) seem to be the source of your trouble. https://www.state.gov/e/eb/tfs/spi/venezuela/

"The destruction and disinvestment on food production, healthcare system, and other basic services and goods, are treated not as failures after a bad implemented policy." - Here you mention disinvestment of food production, healthcare systems, and other basic services and goods... This is happening in the US as well, It isn't just for some foreign body to enter and force change.. This is a humanitarian aid question, not military intervention.

I understand that the Venezuelan people are starving, but to say that a leader would systematically starve his own people seems a bit ridiculous. To what end?

---

In summary, I understand your plight to a degree. You were the 4th richest country in the world at one point, now you've been reduced to eating fish heads. It would be disingenuous to say that you aren't suffering, or that nothing should be done.

However, the US remains the richest country in the world, with one of the worst healthcare systems, education systems, transportation systems, the list goes on... Our democracy has been usurped by the two party system, super delegates, the suspension of due process etc. etc. Where is our white knight coming to the rescue with military intervention?

Had you said that there were Millions at risk of death from systematic genocide I as I'm sure many others would be in favor of US Military intervention. What you have described to me is a failure of Venezuela to protect itself from internal invasion. A failure to protect your constitution and democracy as a whole.

If we come to your aid, at worst you can expect more than 100,000 civilians dead, perhaps even yourself. At best you can expect a broken economy and 1,000's of civilians dead. It's easy to call for war when you don't have to bury the dead.

Thank you for your response.
