    It wouldn’t be a fight, it would be a massacre. Untold thousands dead, millions of refugees. Knowing this, how could you possibly wish for it?

      I guess that’s how my point came across, but that’s not what I meant. No, I wish no war on Venezuela because of what you just said.

      I was replying to the poster who said “Venezuelan people! Fight!” Fight?! For the government that maimed them in the first place? No. Let the two governments fight if they want. Regular Venezuelans should flee if they can.
