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?
