The way the US fends off criticism is by proving their case before the UN and getting the UN to agree to direct action.

Unilateral action by the US against a souvenir nation should be criticized regardless the nation.

Whether or not the US action here was "unilateral" depends entirely on how one views the electoral fraud claims.

  • No it does not depend on that at all.

    There's no second party to this action, it's the US's alone. Even if we accept the electoral fraud claims, Venezuela did not ask for US intervention. The rightfully elected leader of a nation can't call for a second nation to invade and bomb their nation.
