Hello @Zuerich,
Interesting times indeed.
The U.S has removed a dictator and has taken control of the country. Is this a surgical strike? An attack? An invasion? An incursion? Choice of terms is interesting. According to Trump and his spokesman, the U.S. is 'running' Venezuela.
We are in the laboratory of history. As days pass, there will be growing unanimity about the nature of the U.S. action. Events on the ground will tell us if Venezuela was liberated, invaded, attacked, or turned into a puppet state. Does the video below give us a hint about the future?

Concerning the video, what hint do you mean? In my view, Miller is just stating the obvious: Venezuela is in a period of transition and the US are in charge. The desolate defense capabilities of Venezuela (military resources have been sold by the regime for personal enrichment) show that they need someone who protects them (mostly against Russian and Chinese agents) - hopefully only temporarily.
Yes, we are in the laboratory of history (aren't we always?). Let's hope this chance will be used for good.
Hi @zuerich,
I don't know if you follow this blogger, @hlezama, but his reports from Venezuela are fascinating. I know he is glad to be rid of Maduro, but what happens now? It's a front-line report from a very interested party. Here's his latest blog, reporting on today. https://peakd.com/hive-178265/@hlezama/the-mess-continues
