This is one of those threads that are conspiracy theorist dream, all the way back to the original OP.

Maduro is not the legitimate president of Venezuela. He also makes his money off killing Americans with illegal drugs. He is not cooperating with the US government on this issue. Other South American countries are.

President Trump during is campaign told the American people over and over what he was going to do with America’s drug problem and won the election by a wide margin. So it shouldn’t be no surprise now what’s happening and going to happen.

He is killing Americans just like coors light and Smith and Weason kill Americans..

And Trump didnt win by a wide margin
No matter how many times he tries to make you believe that. 1.5%. That's the difference in the popular vote. Didn't even carry 50%.

Time is running out on Trump's free hand of the extrajudicial killing of Venezuelans...

Summary

The War Powers Resolution (WPR), first adopted in 1973 over the veto of President Richard Nixon, establishes presidential reporting requirements and parliamentary procedures intended to reaffirm the constitutional role of Congress in committing the United States into armed conflict abroad. The existence of these fast-track procedures provide an opportunity for Members of Congress to obtain a vote on—or more often in relation to—legislation that either authorizes the presidential use of U.S. Armed Forces or directs their removal from hostilities. When legislation has been introduced pursuant to the WPR, the House and Senate have often chosen to structure consideration in ways other than those prescribed by the statute.

Before the President commits U.S. troops into hostilities abroad, the WPR directs that Congress first be consulted "in every possible instance." The WPR further mandates that the President report to Congress within 48 hours of deploying U.S. forces if Congress has not declared war or statutorily authorized the action. The President must continue reporting to Congress at least every six months for the duration of the engagement. Sixty days after the President first reports to Congress (or was required to do so), the use of the Armed Forces is automatically terminated unless Congress has declared war or passed legislation authorizing the action. The President may extend this 60-day period an additional 30 days by certifying in writing to Congress the need for continued use of force.

This is becoming very concerning. It's either maximum pressure bluff or we are going to bomb the shat out of them.

Would hope it’s a bluff that works wrt greatly reducing the drug trafficking into the US. The pessimist in me sees an attempt at regime change disguised as drug interdiction.

I think it's regime change. And I think we are grossly underestimating what this takes

Regime change always takes boots on the ground unless you have internal assistance.

Disagree. Ukraine for example both Russia and the US accuse the other of regime change prior to any boots on the ground from either side

Simple. The President of Venezuela has not sufficiently kissed Trump's fat white butt. And so they must be crushed.

Russia and China are giving Venenzula advanced weapons. Not selling, but giving. Weapons that can hit Knoxville.

It's ~2070 miles from Knoxville to Caracas, and Maduro doesn't have any ballistic missiles that can travel that far, so you can stop clutching your pearls.
