Not exactly sure of the 'threats'. So we don't want your officials coming here. So he said he wants to see democracy restored there. So he answered a question the same way as any other leader would - that he would not take a option off of the table (because if the situation escalated to that point, why would you make a statement deleting that option?).
Is this a poorly veiled attempt from Maduro to try to get his people's minds focused on something other than the crushing Socialism causing severe inflation, lack of jobs (outside of prostitution), & food shortages?

Maduro is employing the strategy that has sustained the dictatorship in North Korea for several decades. Use fear of an outside aggressor (US) to divert attention from the failures of their nation and unite them in common cause. Interestingly, Climate Change is the diversion of choice here at home.

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - You don't have to invade someone to be dangerous. And yes, I am aware of how the US does business around the world. Just because my drug-dealing neighbor hasn't invaded my home doesn't make him any less dangerous.
Recall "He might be a son of a bitch, but he's OUR son of a bitch." That's how the US really does business with regards to whom we support.
For anyone who is a Star Trek fan:
The Ferengi Rules of Acquisition:
#34 War is good for business.
#35 Peace is good for business.

Most of those guys make the cartels look Quakers.

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - Technically no. Remember the air war over Yugoslavia? We destroyed a country with air power alone. But the other guys, yes.
Noriega was slightly different because he was threatening to expose the CIA's drug-running escapades south of the border if he didn't get a bigger cut. 18 hours later, the 82nd was down there, kicking doors. But note that Noriega was "imprisoned" in Miami, kept away from contact with the outside world until his death.
The unfortunate truth is that if we don't emplace puppet leaders, other people will. It is far better to have your own guy where you want him than have the other guy's guy where you don't want him. Whether you like it or not, that's the reality.
