It's up to them. Not the yanks. They don't get to decide.
And most of the people who live there are either happy with the status quo or want to move towards full independence.
If they wanted to become the 51st state, they are capable of saying so.

He was just a placeholder due to the two term rule in place then.
A similar thing happened in Mauritania in however the placeholder garnered enough support to have the real leader arrested and jailed so he couldn't return.

And responses to something as serious as this need thinking through, hence most world leaders being cautious until more is known.

Remember it's very early days. Kneejerk responses are unhelpful, especially as there's little indication about the popular feeling in Venezuela or what will happen over the next few weeks and months.

In Yorkshire, we call those Boggarts. Many people have seen them. Some are maybe marsh gas, some less easy to explain away.
I saw a ghost in my office in Warsaw when I had a business there. I was about to leave at night, everyone else had left and I was bloody terrified. It was at the end of a long corridor and was a white three dimensional shape. Worth mentioning that this was in a building where the pre-war residents mostly didn't survive the holocaust and there were bullet marks in the walls.
I was terrified. Couldn't leave the office, stayed in a little room for ages. Finally I realised that I had to grin and bear it and leave. I saw it again.
The reason? At the end of the corridor there was a frosted glass door open at 45 degrees and there was a window beyond with lights outside at 90 degrees. It was my own reflection from a distance that looked three dimensional.

We can hope.
Some analysts think Putler will go full on this year as a last ditch hope to save his skin since the r*SSian economy is failing and his position is getting more and more vulnerable however that of course is only one of the scenarios that Ukraine and its advisors plan for.
And of course the crude AI and photoshopping, plus the doubles etc suggest that all is not well with him.
Quite, and of course the key to everything now is drones and satellites.

I'd extend that, since they first invaded in 2015.
I'd guess that they were in contact with dissidents and business grifters.
Lovely news about Ukraine destroying the pontoon bridge the orcs tried to make to get to Pokrovsk. Up in flames with all the orcs on it. Barbecue time!

Different cultures and worldviews have different ways of looking at things.
We may well know a lot more in the future. Depending on our species' limitations about perception. As Steven Hawking said, the Universe isn't just stranger than we know, it's stranger than we can know.
Right now, we should just record it all in writing since that data may be useful in the future.
Just "alien" and "other dimensions" might be another, more modern ways of explanation

Many psychiatrists, especially those who have worked in large hospitals with long term patients, say they have come across things involving patients that they do ńot have an explanation for.
The British Premonitions Bureau is interesting to read about.
" In the hours that he spent in Aberfan, Barker was struck by "several strange and pathetic incidents" connected with the coal slip. Bereaved families spoke of dreams and portents. On the eve of the disaster, an eight-year-old boy named Paul Davies had drawn massed figures digging in the hillside under the words "the end." Davies died in the school."

That's America. They've done it before, a sort of drive-by intervention that invariably makes things worse.
No major democracy will have anything to do with this due to the precedent it would set and the illegality of it. That and the fact that stable governments worldwide are holding their noses at trump and waiting until he's just a bad memory.
Doing it without a plan for what happens next - crazy and very expensive

No worries.
It's stronger the closer the connection. The most detailed and somehow deepest and most unambiguous was the death of a parent, the most striking (and physical) was when a very close friend who I'd been out with all day (I'd gone home earlier than him due to work the next day) was run over by a car on his way home.
Usually it's milder and sort of feels like a moment of clarity with that person right there. I've come across people, often hospital staff, saying the same thing.
