According to Kaja Kallas twit, "Mr. Maduro lacks legitimacy and [the EU] has defended a peaceful transition". In my book, this means support to the USA invasion/special operation.

Edit: typo

Classic plausible deniability.

How is bombing military facilities and kidnapping the president a peaceful transition?

I would love to read the answer of Kaja Kallas to that question.

The EU has repeatedly stated that Maduro lacks legitimacy and has defended a peaceful transition. A “peaceful transition” is not a military operation. In EU language it means elections, negotiations, and constitutional processes. Illegitimacy does not equal a green light for foreign force.

Be a legitimate democracy because it is controlled by CIA
Declare illegitimacy without evidence, because communist countries must be sanctioned and persecuted.
Kill or kidnap said leaders.
Promote peaceful, rules based order, transition to CIA approved leader.
