He has no authority to deploy U.S. forces into foreign countries to bomb them, capture heads of state, and overthrow governments in regime-change wars.”
- The military conflict in Venezuela and the abduction of Venezuela President Nicholas Madero is illegal This imperialistic military action should be seen as nothing more than Trump attempting to illegally usurp control of the largest oil reserves in the world from the Venezuelan people
