There are substantial reasons not to intervene in Venezuela, and so far nobody has made a compelling case why the US should. From Caitlin Johnstone at medium.com:
Ever since the Trump administration announced that it was no longer recognizing the legitimacy of the elected government of Venezuela I’ve been arguing with people on social media about this president’s brazen coup attempt in that country. The people arguing with me in favor of Trump’s interventionism are almost exclusively Trump supporters, with leftists and antiwar libertarians more or less on my side with this issue and rank-and-file centrists mostly preferring to sit this one out except to periodically mumble something about it being a distraction from the Mueller investigation.
I engage in these arguments not because I enjoy fighting with strangers on the internet, but because it helps me get an idea of what propaganda narratives have been seeded throughout various political sectors. Take a stand online and you’ll quickly have people running up to you saying, in effect, “My media echo chamber told me I’m supposed to disagree with you about that,” and spelling out what they’ve been told to believe.
I have not received a single robust argument in favor of Trump’s Venezuela interventionism, but I have received a whole lot of really, really stupid ones. Here are the top five most common and most astonishingly idiotic of them:
STRAIGHT LINE LOGIC 
So if the end game involves Venezuela being taken over, then who will it be– The USA vs Russia vs China? At that point I vote USA.
The author is a socialist (she has said so many times), so for some reason, I find a certain lack of objectivity clouding her arguments.
