What's the desired strategic outcome here - to remove the incumbent president and his political party from power and replace it with one more favorable to US oil interests? And to do that without putting ground troops in to some Latin American Vietnam? Good luck with that.
It'll be the usual playbook: replace Maduro with a pet dictator. It won't go well for Venezuela and it's people, but since when did the USA give a damn about people?
And yet droves and droves from south and Central America want to come here and live instead!
Also do these countries governments care for their own ppl? Seems like no as if they did ..they wouldn’t be corrupt 2nd to 3rd world countries & their citizens wouldn’t be fleeing to America in droves

It's f*cking hard work, for those in any doubt. It's the most difficult web server config file you've ever to edit at 4am to resolve some production outage, for years, without any hope of let up.

The early years are a ton of simple work. Later, it becomes incredibly complex and difficult. Try dealing with bad choices, power struggles, figuring out and enforcing rules.... Now try it as a typical techie person who has trouble engaging with things they don’t enjoy and doesn’t understand people.
Sifting through an indecipherable mountain of information is fun. I’ll do it in my spare time. My reaction to some ridiculous bug report is, hell yeah, let’s go.
The hardest stuff in my life has nothing to do with computers and it’s not even remotely close.
