Venezuela:

- Demonstrable ties with US adversaries Hezbollah and Iran.

- Close ties with US adversary Russia.

- Close ties with US adversary China.

- Indisputable drug production and transit.

- Threatened neighboring Guyana and previously Columbia.

- Rigged at least one and likely two elections.

- Ruined its economy for most of its citizens.

- Strategically aided illegal immigration of criminals into US.

No responsible government would permit a country this hostile to US interests to persist. This build up is part of a high stakes negotiation to peacefully change regimes in VZ. If Maduro rejects it, he and his cronies will be forcibly removed.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.



Most of the points you listed can also be attributed to Pakistan, a US ally.


Just because we're warmongers doesn't mean the dictators in VZ are good people.

They're shipping poison that kills our people to our country, so I'm ok with them getting what they deserve.


Random people in boats are getting killed; the dictators are fine. And who decides who is guilty and what they deserve? A single person? That's against freedom, democracy, and everything the US stands for.

> They're shipping poison that kills our people to our country

Drugs transit many countries; can we arbitrarily convict and kill everyone connected to those countries?

Most of the people involved are Americans, in the US.
