With the deployment of warships this week, peace advocates fear Trump may be enacting his long-stated goal of invading Venezuela to carry out "regime change." CodePink says his "aggressive policies seek to extend US dominance in Latin America, no matter the human cost."
Just a reminder the Trump tried to organize a coup against Venezuela the last time he was in office (John Bolton, the national security advisor, said so in an interview)
It was a soft coup in the guise of that guy: Juan Guido.
He popped out of nowhere, months (maybe even a year) after Venezuela’s elections, with the US supporting him as the legitimate winner. And because the US does it, so do all the puppet European states.
It was really confusing episode to me at the time. Only when Bolton’s interview came out did it make sense to me.

Maduro was impeached and refused to step down. They didn’t need a coup, just to support the constitutional government.
