Now, with all of this in mind, do you think it would be a good thing if Trump removed Maduro from power?

No, no good can come of it. Only if the Venezuelan people overthrew him would I consider supporting it. That Trump is considering military action against Venezuela is an outrage and if he goes thru with it, I genuinely hope other nations enact sanctions and travel bans against US political leadership.

He's arming his own people to defend against US aggression, 8 million volunteers being the most recent estimate I've seen, which is somewhat more than a full quarter of the entire population.

That doesn't sound like a people that want their government overthrown.

The Venezuelan people elected him, dummy. Would you have preferred a US puppet like Guaidó or González? The only people who want him overthrown are temporarily embarrassed compradors.
