How should the United States respond to events in Venezuela?

Diplomatically? Gun boat style? Is it our place to respond at all? What is the UN doing? (Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I just had to mention the UN for comic relief...)

Stay out. And warn those Cubans to get out or action will be taken against the island

"0" as far as any military action. More sanctions to all countries involved. Cuba - cut them off completely including visits and trade.

Use diplomatic, information, and economic measures; but no military. Let it play out on its own.

Venezuela needs to decide, not the US.

This situation, I believe, is in our national security. If we do nothing, we will have Hizbolla actions in spades in south and north America. See Marine Corp barracks bombing 1983.
The starving people need our help. I truly think we should use overwhelming force on this one. Let the world be on notice, Russia, China, Cuba, Hizbolla...will be dug up by the roots and thrown into the fire.
My2cts on this situation. Libya, no, Syria, no, Iraq, no, Afganistan, no. Anti-Islamic terrorist actions, yes. South America, overwhelming force. ***k the UN. Sir.

I'm sorry, but we can't keep on being the world's police force. We need to stay out of this. If we do get involved, is it going to turn into another Somalia?
