    They are ramping up the rhetoric more than they ever did for Venezuela.

    I mean I wouldn’t say that. They quite literally murdered people regularly in the lead up to that with the boat thing.

      Yes, the action was more severe, but generally downplayed as “just law enforcement stuff”, not every day musing how they should just take Venezuela over.

      Waltzing into Venezuela seems to be like blood in the water. They have a taste for it and are ready to roll over another “easy” target (why would NATO raise a fuss over less than 70K people, I am sure they are thinking)

      They don’t see Venezuela as a one off, they see it as momentum…
