    1. @mrmattimation Nah I've been talking with IRL friends about having the rest of the Mercosur countries invade Venezuela being a perfectly viable option for quite a while now. Right now the Venezuelan armed forces are turning against Maduro, and if neighboring countries offered military support, half of Venezuela's army would defect and the population at large would take up arms. The rest of the war would be easy for the invading armies, and all that's needed after breaking down a few Chavist strongholds that'd surface is to mantain troop presence until proper elections are held. It has positive political cost for the invading countries as the population would be grateful for the help in overthrowing their dictator and decent trade deals could be made as Venezuela would need a lot of money to rebuild.
