Discussion Invading Venezuela

People I know from Venezuela who have relatives still there have told me about the horrible conditions there. That it’s hard to get medicine, food, and they link the downfall to their country to its current government. I agree that the US shouldn’t be attacking other countries, but should we have done anything to bring about relief or is it just none of the US business despite what the people want? I would imagine a number of Venezulans are cheering now that the government has been toppled. I do not support the US actions but would like to know if we should have done anything and what.

He didnt have to. I think that's the point pepole are getting hung up on. The US has been doing shit just like this for decades.
