Maduro loses Venezuela Election.
Nicolas Maduro lost the presidential election in Venezuela. The final vote count was 1-0, with Donald Trump casting the only ballot.
Quote:
President Donald Trump recognized Juan Guaido as the interim president of Venezuela Wednesday minutes after the opposition leader declared himself the head of state, in the U.S.’s most provocative move yet against the leftist regime of Nicolas Maduro.
Maduro responded by breaking diplomatic relations with the U.S., giving American diplomats 72 hours to leave the country.

I think Trump is on to something here. If he would recognize someone friendly to us as president of the People's Republic of China, all the trade and tariff problems would be over.

That's what they get for electing a bus driver like Maduro instead of a real estate magnate like we did.

They should have left long ago. The country is dysfunctional and civil unrest is growing. What purpose could our people hope to serve there?

From where? Venezuela's big money came from oil. Their oil industry is a total mess due to government mismanagement.

Nothing like a military action to divert attention from Presidential problems.
This is a Venezuelan issue, let them deal with it.

What? this is a humanitarian crisis with millions on a starvation diet. It would be immoral to watch them all die. Or are you suggesting sending buses to haul them all to California?
