#USA is not at war with #Venezuela unless and until it is authorized by an act of Congress.
Until then, it is an unconstitutional action of 47 involving the DoD in an illegal move in Venezuela.

So, this should finally put to rest any delusions that there are decent people left in the US military who will stand up to illegal orders and protect democracy. The US military is now more likely to kill US citizens rather than help them. They are not our friends.
