Everyone please hold three thoughts simultaneously
1) Maduro was a bad person, and was holding power illegitimately after the true results of democratic election would have ousted him from power
2) The US should not depose leaders without congressional authorization for military action
3) Even in the presence of congressional authorization, using the US Military to depose leaders we don't like (even illegitimate ones) sets a very bad precedent and invites other strong militaries around the world to do the same, risks destabilizing global peace, and is against the US interests
