Becoming painfully obvious the Trump Regime has no clue what happens next. Not one clue. Delcy Rodriguez, Maduro's VP has been sworn in as President. Immediately declared Maduro the rightful President and vowed to defend Venezuela's resources.

Ryan: This is clearly us starting another forever war—which the American people do not support.
Trump is just straight up admitting this is a war for oil, and that he is willing to send our blood and treasure, to “run Venezuela,” whatever the hell that means, with no plan.

#USA is not a war with #Venezuela unless and until it is authorized by an act of Congress.
Until then, it is an unconstitutional action of 47 involving the DoD in an illegal move in Venezuela.
