    Installing puppet governments is so last generation. The US just runs a direct military junta now.

    Marco Rubio doesn't have enough jobs? He's like 3/4th of the government at this point.

    So there is in theory a much easier transition in power than in the past when the US has inserted itself into these situations.
    Donald Trump, noted Constitution respecter, will surely follow the rules of a country he just illegally invaded.

    Rodriguez is/was never going to work with the US, they're Maduro's handpicked crony so of course they'd want him back. Getting Edmundo Gonzalez into place ASAP is what I would assume is the goal.

    Trump saying that we'd work with them I'd chalk up to his general incompetence.

    So wait, we kidnapped their president (and his wife), declared ourselves custodians of the Venezuelan state, but left the government intact and didn't install anyone?

    I hate to No True Scotsman competent regime change, but I do kind of feel we have never tried it.

    Best take I've seen is that the US is running the country via a zoom call
