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.

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