> They're going to put in another dictator, except this one will be friendly to US interests I don't believe you have any evidence that this is the plan - what if democratic elections are held again? In any case, even if it does happen: Far better than a dictator unfriendly to our interests.

  So “torture”, "disappeareance", “murder of thousands”, and “rigging elections” are fine if it's in US interests now? Then why use them as argument in the first place.

  So why bother with the earlier hypocritical pretence bringing up torture and murder? Just straight up say you approve of the move because a new U.S. stooge in Venezuela would be better for US geopolitical interests.

  Why do your interests dictate who should or shouldn't get ousted? Will the new dictator work in the interests of other powers? If they are unfriendly to Chinese interest will it be fair game for China to launch an invasion?

They have probably already been working on this in the lead up to their forceful engagement. It is a pretty standard state department et. all tactic

  You're right, I'm very frustrated with my government right now and I was a jerk to the guy. I'm an adult and I should behave like one. Thanks for calling out my bullshit, sincerely.

I bet you they hand it over to the legally elected government. But look forward to a new friendship American military base coming soon to Venezuela.
