alt Hacker NewsConsidering the extreme amount of crime and violence that currently exists in Venesuela removing it's government without being able to put anything in its place will not be pretty at all...
Without a full military occupation it might just turn into another Haiti just on a much bigger scale. Of course US will probably have to intervene to "secure" the oil industry...

They haven’t removed the government. They removed Maduro. Very different.
Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez is in charge, so nothing is gonna change for Venezuelan citizens.
Oil industry in Venezuela is Chinese, or for China, this is not gonna change either.
What we are seeing here is a show, or may be also more related to Venezuela being a narco-state.
This seems like the type of comment the parent comment is referring to. It's day 1 of the invasion. Why have you concluded the US is unable to put anything in the place of Venezuela's previous government?
Who said anything about removing the government? Has the government been removed? Is there any sign it will be?
Who said they will remove the government ? From current news they could very well just leave it in place as long as they sell their petroleum in dollars and agree to other restrictions.
The US has not toppled Venezuelan government.
Maria Corina Machado (nobel peace prize winner) is purported to be their new leader. So all the signs so far are looking up.
There is not an extreme amount of crime and violence. Years ago yes. But now it's a lot better. Source: living here.
