This. Both Trump and Morales have questionable positions about freedom and human rights when dictators they love are concerned.
About Venezuela, even though a war against Maduro could be morally acceptable, it would be a disaster for millions innocent civilians already exhausted by the dire economic crisis caused by Chavez and even worsened by Maduro, unless the anti-Maduro coalition manage to completely destroy him and his army in a very few weeks. The best option for Venezuela would be to kill Maduro and the most dangerous possible successors amongst his staunchest supporters without a war, unless he finally accepts to step aside.

I agree with you quite a bit, thank you for your support. The Venezuelan situation is very difficult. The big majority of the country is against the current regime and the electoral department is heavily corrupt, making the previous election null and void. The military prefers to oppress the people and protect the dictatorial elite. While I would never disagree that Americans are entitled to want their country to stay out of another war, the fact is that the majority of Venezuelans desperately want an escape from the hell they are living in.
I've read about countless Venezuelans who beg the USA to invade the country. In fact the other day "#InvervencionYa" (Intervention now) became a Twitter trend. It wasn't bots or American affiliated accounts that I read sharing that, but common Venezuelans hoping and begging for change and for freedom. I'm under no illusions or fantasies that Trump and his cabinet want to intervene out of heroism or humanitarian reasons, they just want to influence the oil market in Venezuela. However, Venezuelans simply don't care about that, they just want change.

The best way to do it is to have fair oversight of their elections. Not to take over their elections, but to help them hold fair anonymous ballot elections themselves.
Military intervention/violent revolution has a good chance of escaping the pot, but they almost always land in the firepit.
