#1 Trump has recognized Guaido as Venezuela President, thus not acknowledging Maduro's authority to order diplomats out. The US is not the only country to have recognized the coup - so have Canada, Brazil, Argentina and Colombia.

#3 "What is this 'Venezuela' of which you speak?"

Back when Bernie was barnstorming thru Michigan to great effect during the campaign for Prez, people were giddy for socialism. I happened to be at a tech meetup where most of the guests were 20-30 somethings. The topics of PHP and socialism came up. (tl;dr: PHP bad. Socialism good) When I mentioned Venezuela, not one of them knew what I was talking about.

If you get your news from NPR drive-time, it just never shows up on your radar.

#5 Another reason to make orbital microwave beam weapons. We can explode people while they are giving speeches. No need to put our people at risk, just a tunable, focused emitter, some large solar panels for power and ZAP!, another one bites the dust.
