Their oil is vulnerable to ground and sea attack, their gold has been moved offshore, and their population is furious. Who, pray tell, would Trump attack in the first place, and to gain what? Whichever side he took, the other(s) would tear any occupying power to shreds. Trump of course doesn't even know where Venezuela is, but Tillerson does.

Tragic as it is, and it reminds me EXACTLY of what Obama said about Syria in 2012, I think Venezuela will deteriorate further before it is tired enough of suffering to get its collective head screwed back on straight.
