    [Venezuela Crisis: A Real Threat to Democracy and Stability] I was just reading up on the Venezuela crisis, and it's truly alarming. The situation with those armed colectivos is reminiscent of the chaos that followed in Iraq after the U. S.

    intervention. I'm worried we're heading down a similar path where unrest spirals out of control and innocent people suffer. And don't even get me started on Trump's anticsdeclaring himself dictator over there?

    Its madness! Congress needs to step up and address this before things spiral completely out of hand. What do you all think about the role of foreign powers in Venezuela right now?

    Im also concerned about how climate change is exacerbating the crisis, adding another layer of complexity to an already volatile situation. Does anyone have insights into how environmental factors are impacting political stability there?

    Warmly,
