Our foreign engagements always seem to have corporate stakeholders. Indeed, the new American way.
If by "new" you mean always, then yes, this is indeed the new American way.
Probably so, but it really flares up post WW2.

Venezuelan dollars will rebuild Venezuela.
Sure, money will be made by restoring operations that had been captured previously. Venezuela exports to enemies of the US will now stop and also lower oil prices here.
I heard there's supposedly a glut of oil out in the world right now, which is the reason for prices of gas prices being lower.
Does anyone know how much lower gas prices will go once we get Venezuela's oil?

Feel free to post all the silly GIFs you want.
Trump damages his own admins messaging when gets into this mode than he helps it.

That's the best answer you've got? Is that Button A on your preprogrammed gamepad? Mindless.
I'm glad Maduro is not longer president of Venezuela. He's destroyed a previously improving country.
I have concerns about us engaging in military action in a country any time we don't like the leader, are concerned about oil, or want the sycophants to get a hard on.
I also have concerns about pardoning the President one country who was involved in trafficking drugs while spending billions of dollars and major military assets to capture another. What's the story here?
He's actions have also led to the direct death of Americans, but your "concern" is noted.
So far, the responses have included "3 more years," "concern," and "TDS." As I said, mindless, i.e. incapable of communication that doesn't require using the handbook of maga catchphrases. Yay populism!
I enjoy talking with folks who are able to articulate a position. Have a philosophical debate. Consider something outside the handbook. Not ine response has addressed the concerns (oh no!) about being the world police or the discrepancy of Maduro vs Hernandez. Mindless populism.

The "Donroe Doctrine". That's going to drive the left nuts.
Trump is right to defend the Western Hemisphere. We should never let Communists and Narco terrorist to have free rein in our back yard.

lol at the clown saying Trump looks tired.
He can still speak, walk, recognize family, tell time on a clock.
Again, check my posting history and maybe you'll retract your statement. Voted for him three times, and I'm all for this. It was just an observation, bc the dude is a machine, for any age.
I agree he is a machine but I do believe he doesn't put American military lives in danger lightly. I'm sure it takes its toll.

"He f'ed around and he found out." Pete Hegseth on Maduro.
Cuban descendants are now in very influential positions of power in the US and the end goal of collapsing the Cuban regime is near. Frankly I am impressed the communist puppet state has been able to last this long, mostly through the corruption and incompetence of US leadership. Cuba's communist government days are surely limited. Watching the decimation of Venezuelan, Syrian, and Iranian leadership and the turmoil Russia is now in is a world changing event I believe all aimed at hemming in China's power base. Indeed they also may be on borrowed time due to collapse of regimes favored by them and their own house of cards economic system and demographics.
China is a very different animal than the rest and their leadership will go down swinging.

Time to get it ramped up then.

Agreed, and that's a huge reason why I've loved serving under him for 5 years, soon to be 8. It's an incredibly noticeable difference from serving under the clowns of obama and sleepy potatohead.
Trump (understandably) needs this presser to end so he can go get some sleep. He's struggling standing behind Caine right now.
Glad to see the Beast of Kandahar still out there working. My buddies at Hurlburt and Bragg were busy last night.

From your link it is not clear to me that this is over. Seems that some of the old guard plan to stay in power. Wonder what the next step is for the civilians there that obviously wanted regime change.

He looks like he is going to pass out. Now we'll hear how his health is declining.

You can look into the Hernandez pardon thread and Maduro and draw your own conclusions.
But it's a lazy MSM talking point to act like they are the same.
Much of the "evidence" against Hernandez was testimony from his former cohorts, who seized an opportunity to grab some power. Was Hernandez squeaky clean? No, but his replacements have been worse for both open borders and drugs.
This was a pinpoint operation to arrest a terrorist causing harm to US interests and citizens a direct threat. Had HW had giant golden balls he would have done this to Saddam. He was weak, America suffered, lives were lost. Clinton could have taken out OBL. He didn't, he was weak, America suffered, lives were lost. W was warned of pending attack by Al-Qaeda but Cheney and friends dismissed an attack on US soil, America suffered, lives were lost.
Trump is doing strong things to make America prosper, saving lives. Just appreciate the leadership.

I have 0 faith in our legal system to prosecute him and keep him locked up. However, I do have confidence they can keep him locked up long enough to hand him over to a new Venezuelan government for prosecution there....5-10 years from now.

It'll be interesting to see if there was coordination with the political opposition so it was ready take advantage of the temporary power vacuum.

Most of us posting here have made plenty of post of why we think this is a good move. Go read any of those.
Stating this is only about oil is a non starter.
Stating this is solely about regime change of a leader we dont like is a non starter. Please point to trumps history of regime change operations if that is something you think we are getting into

"Don't let anyone claim it. No one deserves it but us."
and just to reiterate
Vz already voted for regime change
Maduro used force to cling to power
