Can you qualify “some Venezuelans” in any meaningful way?

This framing implies that the US administration considered US or Venezuelan public opinion before taking this action.

We have no evidence of that.

Well at least the nearly 8 million who voted for the opposition in Venezuela and the nearly 8 million who have left.

Are you implying that a vote for the opposition is a vote for the US to take over?

No I'm implying that most people in Venezuela are happy to se Maduro gone and hopefully his whole regime as well.

Admittedly I cannot, I'm not Venezuelan and not familiar enough with the country.
