This is illegal, immoral, unsupported by the vast majority of the US population and requiring immediate action by every US citizen and elected official.

Well, it's hard to know whether it's true

The people that voted for the current president tend to support whatever he tells them to support, so I don't think that's true.

I am ashamed being part of HN where a lot of people here supporting this terrorism.

No matter how fucked up any country can be, US president has no right to bomb or terrorize other countries.

Risking being downvoted to oblivion but as a South American this is a way more complex situation morally speaking.

Law-wise I agree and it has set an awful precedent.

But in the other hand Venezuelans all over the world (certainly the Venezuelans here that I know) are celebrating. I myself am in some way relieved. This is a dictator that did unspeakable things to their own population, set proxy criminal organizations, sent hitmen to kill dissidents in my country, highly decreasing our perceived safety.

So one part of my heart is glad. Plenty of Venezuelans are. I just hope they are quick to either put Corina Machado in charge or call for elections and at last bring true freedom to that country.

Let's say best case scenario, zero innocent casualties and a democratic government takes over and Venezuela prospers - would you still consider it immoral?
