Is Venezuela heading to civil war?

[Virginiá]

Talking about the US military 'massing' at the border of a country makes it sound like they are preparing a large invasion force. A blowhard criminal-turned-"special representative" and his attaché hardly counts as such. That is blowing it out of proportion. If they have a few divisions of US troops organizing at the border... sure, but is that what is happening?

You can criticize this trip without that kind of wording.

Even the article title itself explicitly says massing 'aid.'

You're undermining your own argument by stubbornly sticking to hyperbole that flies in the face of how people generally accept the term "[country] military massing at the [country] border." The US military is not massing an invasion force at the border of Venezuela. Now trying to force regime change through other measures... sure. But stop acting like the US is a hair away from a full-scale invasion of Venezuela just because it sent Elliott Abrams down there.

I didn't say you denied aid was being sent, I was just pointing out that the article talked specifically about massing 'aid' and not the military.

If you want to stick to that term, go ahead, but it's silly and not helpful to your argument.
