alt Hacker NewsMaduro is a piece of shit.
But a military invasion of another country to commit regime change is literally what Russia tried to do to Ukraine.
America has blood on it's hands yet again.
EDIT: If the reports are true that Maduro has been captured and the fighting stops, then that's the best resolution one could hope out of this horrible situation. I pray for the Venezuelan people.

No, what Russia has tried to do to Ukraine is annex it as part of Russia. Not nearly the same, even if both are reprehensible.
The critical reaction is from the people on the Venezuelan street tomorrow.
Some regimes deserved to be changed (and of course there are second order consequences)
I know some sheltered academics on Epstein's list disagree with that but that's a hill I will die on
Right, and that's what the Allies did in Germany in 1945. I don't think it's helpful to paint everything with such a broad brush.
Russia is trying to annex Ukraine. They took part of it in 2014, then came back for more, and then organized sham annexation referendums in the regions they did control. Whatever the US is trying to achieve in Venezuela, it's probably not that. All war is deplorable, but some lead to good outcomes and some to bad ones.
