Its time for action: Rick Scott calls for U.S. military involvement in Venezuela

Rick Scott isnt waiting to see if Juan Guaidó can successfully get the Venezuelan military to switch sides and oust Nicolás Maduro.
The Florida senator called for the U.S. military to be positioned on the Venezuelan border on Tuesday, hours after Guaidó and Leopoldo López declared a start of the end of the usurpation with armed soldiers by their side.
Scotts call for the U.S. military to deliver aid to the people and defend freedom and democracy as well as U.S. national security interests in our hemisphere was the strongest language used by a U.S. official on Tuesday morning. Other key figures like Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Sen. Marco Rubio and Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway urged the Venezuelan military to oust Maduro and expressed general support for Guaidó.
Scott also wants the U.S. military to break down barriers at the Venezuelan border erected by Maduro to allow aid into the country immediately.

Of course we could also use work on our war percentages invading a country and creating a civil war. But then NO ONE could have seen that result coming.

Venezuela is a sovereign nation.
Be careful what you wish for - coups are usually overturned. That should worry the Con.
