This is a crime to the Venezuelans, the US citizens, and the whole of South America.

Most Venezuelans will make a very loud point to disagree with you.

This lot of Venezuelans don't seem too worried https://www.nbcnews.com/video/venezuelan-community-in-miami-...

Didn't most Latin Americans living in Florida move there to escape their generally left-leaning countries? Makes sense they would celebrate.

If someone murdered Obama while in office you could have filmed a video just like this in America, crazy that you’d post this

Venezuelans are cheering.

And what are they going to to do against the militias and military that are loyal to Maduros political party?

I'll tell you. Nothing. They are going to do nothing. Because they can't.

It’s also a crime against the US constitution and the international legal order. By condoning “might is right” Trump has given an excuse to every tinpot dictator, from Putin to Kim, to invade and kill whoever they want

And the voters who elected Trump because he promised to stop with "nation building".

But with Venezuela's +300bn oil barrels at Trump's disposal now, I bet the gas prices will plummeted. I wonder how the MAGA fanbase will react (probably will be happy to let just this one "nation building" project to slip through their ethics).

The US casually eliminating a nasty despot is likely to have a chilling effect on the other nasty despots.

Putin and Kim will -not- be emboldened by this act - quite the opposite.

It's really not a crime against the US constitution. And "International Law" isn't really law, because there is no enforcer.

International politics is anarchy. Rules are enforced by the hegemon.
