Not sure I'm in full support. Getting rid of Maduro good. Stabilizing Venezuela good.
I hope we have good support of a new government or these things can go seriously wrong.

It also sends a message to the Mad Mullahs.
Which is very good.

Machado dedicated her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump, so I think we are in a good position.

I’m definitely happy that Maduro is out, and that this operation worked so smoothly. Trump’s press conference, I’m not so crazy about. What does it mean that we are “running Venezuela? And he couldn’t avoid saying that “they stole our oil”? not his best moment.

I suspect Trump invaded Venezuela just to seize their natural resources.

When I was in college, there were a group of Venezuelans. Very nice people.

I have fond memories of my business trips to Carracas from back in the day. Here is one of them. Or two of them?
