He explicitly state that it would be ok with congressional approval
Huh?.. Uh… Did you read the wrong statement? He said that war powers are explicitly given to Congress specifically to prevent unilateral action like this and calls out the act as terrible and destabilizing, ergo Congress would not have approved it.
spends paragraphs whining about poor americans…
He spends paragraphs pointing out the hypocrisy of the administration claiming to be doing terrible shit for the benefit of US citizens while citizens continue to be exploited. Trump is the one framing this as a domestic issue, this statement is responding to that, pointing out the absurdity of “running” Venezuela when he can’t even run America.
And yes no shit he’s focusing on the American perspective because he’s a politician writing to the American voter audience. If you took 4 seconds to comprehend his statement he’s condemning American supremacy and imperialism.

For all the theory tankies tell people to read, it sure seems like their reading comprehension isn’t very good.
