The US has seen six governments since Woodstock ‘99, alternating the ruling party almost perfectly every four years: Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden and Trump again.

Venezuela has seen only two presidents in 26 years, Chavez and Maduro, and both belong to the same ruling party.

So have Russia, Israel, Egypt and several other nations. I don't see the US cutting military aid to the latter two because of a lack of diverse electoral outcomes.
And some US allies have seen no change, I’m hoping that’s not a metric for which countries to invade.
You have stated a fact but provided no conclusion. Please finish your thought.
exactly, there’s no conclusion, it’s been almost three decades.

It’s nice to have a different ruling party every few years and not just every three decades like in Venezuela(so far).

Maybe Venezuelas want to give their oil to another 3rd-party that is not Iran, Cuba, Russia or China for a change.

So, in other words, you believe we should attack Venezuela because they need a regime change and we need their oil.

I have some choice words for that, but the mods wouldn't like it.

You’re not providing a conclusion. Please finish your thought…
