If the article is true, I'm not sure the price to extract Maduro alone was worth it.

At some point, a nation must use its capabilities. The question is only when. For example, should Clinton have used our stealth fighters over the former Yugoslavia, resulting in the loss of one, which was dissected and used for research by Russia & China? In this case, the question is, was it necessary now to use our tech to expose modern Russian systems? Maybe. Maybe not for just Maduro. Maybe to delay an invasion of Taiwan, or other more worthy goal. Who knows?????

The loss of the F-117 over Yugoslavia raises an interesting issue. The weapons systems which shot it down were very antiquated...more so than the systems used by Venezuela. How could it detect the F-117, but the modern Russian systems not detect all the US aircraft loitering over Caracas? The article may be exaggerating. Granted, the F-117 was retired in 2008, so perhaps its systems were antiquated as well.

Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant, then it tries to silence good.
