Yes because it went so well for all the other countries the US meddld with lol

I can't speak for other countries, but the regime in Russia has popular support.

And if "every Venezuelan you know" is someone who immigrated because of Chavez and/or Maduro, then you have an extremely biased sample to gauge the overall mood of their populace.

There's a difference between happy for the regime to fall" and "a superior military invades and starts a war"

That’s interesting who are they? The few venezuelas I know hate it too, so like is this a gulf war 1 or Iraq war 2?

This usually (never) goes well for the USA. (Source: pick a regime change war.)

Iran is already in revolution, started a few days ago.

> Let freedom ring

What happens if the Venezuelan people decide they want their oil profits to stay in Venezuela rather than flowing into oil company coffers? Will they have the "freedom" to choose that?

Don't get me wrong, Maduro being toppled is a positive in isolation, but it's still wait-and-see regarding what he gets replaced with.

"We’re going to have our very large US oil companies, the biggest anywhere in the world, go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure, the oil infrastructure, and start making money for the country and we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so" [1]

If you are talking about those that left the country... yeah, obviously they are happy. They literally left and got a better life. That's called immigration. That doesn't mean that it will be fine for those that stayed.

When will the US let freedom to ring in Saudi Arabia?

Nukes make a lot of difference though, wouldn't be so sure about russia

Bombs are not the solution.

There are still Maduro-linked armed rebel groups like the ELN in Venezuela that aren't that keen on the US version of freedom.
