Same post, essentially, as Anand's. No condemnation of US overreach. No elbows up on this one, just heads down, hoping the crazy Americans don't notice us for a while longer.
Here’s Carney’s statement which he posted on X over an hour ago but still hasn’t posted here, for some reason

Has anyone done even that?
A functioning Congress will have articles of impeachment drafted by the end of the day.
Our Congress will just go to social media to basically say “We don’t like this, but what are you gonna do?”

Along with so much else, Trump, Miller, Rubio, Hegseth and Ratcliffe are lying to us about Venezuelan history—they didn't steal our land or oil—but they're confident their base is too stupid to know that and too venal to care, and in *that* they're correct
Trump says Venezuela stole U.S. oil, land and assets. Here’s the history.
The government of the oil-rich nation took control of its petroleum industry in 1976, nationalizing hundreds of private businesses and foreign-owned assets.

On the "boots on the ground" question and Trump saying that it will mainly be about protecting oil operations.
Given this framing, we should expect a massive payday for politically connected mercenary companies, who will use this to expand their private armies.
