Fair point, it's not certain that this will be a win for Venezuelans. But I think it probably will be. Economically it can't get much worse.

given that the US again intends to attack and conquer panama, i dont think you could consider that a win

I mean this kinda implies that there's a chance it could fail but failure basically is no worse than doing nothing?

Most of those examples were failed or problematic countries before and after US intervention. If there's a chance of sucess that's better than doing nothing no?
