If Trump says the US will run Venezuela and Rubio says we won't If Trump says the acting Venezuelan president is "willing to do what is necessary to make Venezuela great again", but then warns that she "will pay a very big price" It seems like no one is in charge Seems that way to our enemies too

Who will enforce these regime changes? The US Army?
