Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:
-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support

This week, Maine became the twenty-second state to adopt a “red flag” law for regulating guns, with the approval of nearly 59 percent of voters.
It will allow families to petition a judge to remove firearms temporarily from a family member who appears to pose a threat to themselves or others.
