Nicolas Maduro is a threat to US national security. Maduro does not run a government; he runs a criminal organization. He is the leader of the Cartel of the Suns, a narco-terrorist organization that finances itself through the narcotics trade, illegal mining, and human trafficking. Maduro's regime has driven 9.1 million Venezuelans from the country and caused an 80% drop in the economy's GDP. The U.S. must intervene in Venezuela to overthrow a drug cartel that has taken over the country with the world's largest oil reserves and turned Venezuela into a haven for Russia, China, Iran, and terrorist groups such as the ELN and the FARC. This is not idealism; it is legitimate concern for national security.
