Very disappointing to see some of the arguments being put forth in favour of this blatant aggression. After reading through quite a few comments I'm left with the impression that very many people seem to hold some pretty dubious opinions:

1. That previous justifications in the lead up to this event are now irrelevant or to be ignored or forgotten about ('narco-terrorism', 'it's our oil', 'sanctions busting', etc).

- These were all weak to begin with (but are still relevant because the truth is in there and stated almost explicitly - i.e. 'US interests').

2. That this attack on Venezuelan sovereignty was done for moral reasons ('bad regime').

- Even accepting that the government of Venezuela is a 'bad regime', this is insufficient - there are many arguably much worse governments in the world.

3. That might is right.

- Correct in some sense but morally bereft.

All in all a lot of post-facto nonsense on display.

I'm frankly appalled at the self-serving moral blindness on display here. I refuse to believe that people are arguing in good faith here. Disappointing to see from the otherwise thoughtful commenters on this site.

To anyone making the above arguments, let me ask you - what do you think of the saying "do unto others as you would have done unto you"?
