I don't care about Maduro, as far as I'm concerned, they can shoot him if they want. What matters to me is walking through the streets of my city and seeing the faces of fear on my neighbors. The military patrolling to prevent looting due to panic. It's a collective hangover, a horrible one.

It's 2016 all over again. It's seeing despair entering the circulatory system of all Venezuelans, only now it's more sudden, and we are painfully aware of it.

This is far from improving, and we know it.

The big problem with this is who is next? the US always had the power to do this but now that its actually doing it with bogus madeup reasoning... Is Canada next? Greenland? Mexico? Costa Rica?

    A war in Greenland doesn't even make logistical sense. You would be fighting the only people that actually know how to deal with the cold.

    All anyone would need to do is blow up the generators and it would be war over, because as far as I know the US military has not trained it's soldiers and how to survive having all their blood frozen. They were expecting the next major conflict to be in the middle East, not inside the Arctic circle.

    All heads of state who are either turning a blind eye or openly celebrating this should bear this in mind: if they do the slightest thing to annoy the United States, they are next, and no one will help them.

    Argentina - done.

    Venezuela - in progress.

    Cuba, Colombia, Haiti.

    Then Greenland gets militarized but not fully invaded. Mexico gets police actioned in the rural areas but not fully invaded.

    Brazil is the prize.
