To me it fundamentally reads like “Maduro is illegitimate” equals -5 and what the US is doing is violating international norms (yes, we still are pretending those exist) and that equals -3, and they are both negatives. But now we are arguing perception, which may be less than useful.
To me it reads like “we somewhat disagree with the US’s methods but we strongly agree with the US’s objectives” and isn’t that just the most typical European thing? Never strongly condemning anything, because really, they got what they wanted even if it’s distasteful.

Heh, as a European, that is pretty spot on.
