I keep seeing a lot of so-called "American patriots" criticising liberals for being against the U.S. invasion of Venezuela and their attempt at overthrowing the Venezuelan government, by arguing that Venezuelans did not like Maduro and that they are now celebrating his downfall. Ironically, these "patriots" are the same people who called for no more foreign wars prior to this, but that's a whole other story.

And yes, while Maduro may not have been popular among Venezuelans, and a large amount of people may be happy that he's gone, the U.S. attacks are bigger than just this.

Anyone who knows a bit about the very lengthy history of the U.S. carrying out regime changes will understand how this is not a good thing, no matter how happy Venezuelans are that Maduro is gone. This is bigger than just Venezuela. The U.S. is a great power furthering its own interests, as it has done for the last century. It recognises the difficult and worsening situation it is in with the current multipolar state of the world, and this is just one action of a larger interconnected web of geostrategic moves.

I’d like to add that the US is, of course, looking to extend their influence over Venezuela’s large oil reserves
