Destabilization of the Venezuelan Government is the major source of problems. Republicans can own that one, too.

Are you talking about the sanctions against Venezuela's government officials and supporters?  That started in 2015 under the Obama administration.

No, I mean Trump casually mentioning a 'military option' for Venezuela, in August, or when Tillerson, then Sec of State, spoke about a military ousting of President Maduro. Like I said, Republicans need to own their actions.

Almost every Presidential Administration keeps at hand a military option for some crisis in the world.  Obama did:

A President making such a statement is not the cause of the destabilization of a government.  In Venezuela, the destabilization of the government came before Trump, Tillerson or Pompeo made such statements from internal discontent amongst the general population due to food, water and energy shortages and hyperinflation caused by the Socialist regime in Venezuela. 

I'm so glad you understand what is hurting the Venezuelan population, but EXACTLY WHO forbid Venezuela’s state-owned oil company from doing business with most US companies (except Chevron and Halliburton)? Who handed over the money held by the US to a self-inaugurated president? BTW, that same self-inaugurated president is now privatizing Venezuela's State Oil company to maximize US Oil companies profits at the cost of the local people.

I wonder if any POTUS has ever tried a coup in Venezuela?

I wonder who buys most of their oil?

I wonder how long Republicans have been trying to take over Venezuela? 20 years? 50 years?

After the Republicans found out all that US oil was under Iraq's sand, we've been fighting them for it....

How did all that US oil get put under Venezuela?

Follow the greed and you always find the Republicans.

I just don't know if you're just bat-scat crazy, stoopid, or both. Have you ever heard of the oil company Citgo?

Citgo Petroleum Corporation (or Citgo) is a United States-based refiner, transporter and marketer of transportation fuels, lubricants, petrochemicals and other industrial products.[3] Headquartered in the Energy Corridor area of Houston, it is majority-owned by PDVSA, a state-owned company of the Venezuelan government.

I don't know if you're just uniformed or just ignorant or just a mindless stooge, but you are aware Citgo is being forced into bankruptcy and auctioned off, right?

The funny thing about trying to insult someone, you should know more than they do, first. Idiot.

This isn't the first attempted Coup by Republicans in Venezuela.  Bush tried in 2002. The only difference, this time they aren't trying to hide it.
