James Carville Says U.S. Would Be Ripe for Invasion' if It Were Legal to Overturn a Massively Corrupt Regime'

"Who benefits from this operation? he asked. We're doing all this. Who's gonna be a winner? Is a deputy sheriff in some rural Iowa [town] gonna be the winner here? Is a dental hygienist in Western Montana gonna be the winner here? I don't think so. Carville went on to say the invasion could ultimately destabilize world order, stating that if a corrupt regime ipso facto meets the criteria for being overthrown, the U.S. would qualify:"

"It's not gonna affect your life. In fact, it could very well adversely affect your life because we're saying, International order doesn't matter. Anybody could look, if it was legitimate to invade a corrupt, an attempted authoritarian nation, we better get troops on San Francisco and Boston and all up and down the east and west coast, because we would be ripe for invasion if somebody wanted to overturn a massively corrupt regime, which is, in my opinion, what we have here right this minute. And I think it's unfolding right in front of us."

"Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez has been sworn in as interim president, and President Donald Trump reportedly has a list of demands for Rodriguez to meet, or else he'll send a second wave to Venezuela. The president stated that he wants U.S. oil companies to rebuild the Latin American country's oil sector, and that they could be reimbursed by U.S. taxpayers. On Tuesday, Trump announced he will sell up to 50 million barrels of Venezuelan oil, and added that the money will be controlled by me."

U.S. forces invaded Venezuela and captured President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, who were indicted on drug trafficking charges and pleaded not guilty in federal court in New York.

President Donald Trump reportedly has demands for Rodriguez and announced plans to sell up to 50 million barrels of Venezuelan oil with proceeds controlled by him. A Reuters poll shows about one-third of Americans support the invasion. Democratic strategist James Carville questioned who benefits and warned the action could undermine international order and invite reciprocal justifications for invasions.
