Maduro was easy. Same with the mullahs. What about the real monster in Moscow?

Is Trump just a bully… or a pivotal character in human history?

And so will the Venezuelan people worldwide by their reaction.

This guy was pushing poison into our country, emptying his prisons onto us across Biden’s open borders, and helping fund terrorists who target us.

He was also providing China and Russia with a strong S American foothold.

He took power illegitimately in a coup.

Oh yeah….and he was killing and oppressing the Venezuelans on a mass scale along with destroying their economy and way of life such they struggled to keep themselves fed.

I’ll take that anyday.

Tough day for Maduro, the Chinese, the cartels, and the Dems,
A great day for the rest of the world and humanity.

The ends never justify the means on moral issues. It is a moral standard - and I completely agrrs with it.
Whether Maduro is treated as a legitimate leader when he illegally usurped power and abuses his citizens is a matter of legality only - he has not been mistreated nor killed, nor tortured, and he will stand trial.

As a country, we do not simply do this to any leader with whom we disagree. In fact, this is not a leader at all.

…but I do not grant Maduro the same status that you do.

He is not a leader of state, he is a minor usurper of power with no standing.

If you ask me why not do this to N Korea or Russia’s leader …myanswer is simply that we cannot because they hold enough power to prevent it. Maduro isn’t do lucky. We owe him nothing other than the basic humane treatment of all prisoners who stand trial, and he is getting that.

them.

It's really simple: If you wouldn't tolerate another country meddling in our affairs and removing our officials and kidnapping them and instituting the policies they want and inserting their own foreign leaders, then don't do it to someone else. It's disappointing to see people who for the past decade sounded all the right notes about non-interventionism now rationalizing this and employing the same nebulous propaganda that the foreign policy gurus and interventionists have used forever. And now I hear that we are going to install Rubio as temporary unelected autocrat? Noted.

The whole Putin-Trump thing is the gift the Left keeps giving to the Right. Never give up on the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax.

Venezuelan VP in Russia hasn’t been confirmed. Oh, and she says that Maduro is the rightful president. So much for Trump’s plans of “running” Venezuela.

Moon landing hoaxers, too.

Agree with boots on the ground. That's why I think Trump is just winding you up. Then again, maybe we will "invade" like Clinton "invaded" Haiti...so that we are welcomed as peacekeepers. Who the hell knows?

And I fully believe Trump meant what he said. I just don’t think he will follow through. He’ll declare the mission a success and not much if anything will change.

Here are the only ways to truly “run” Venezuela…

-Full scale invasion: Airborne operations, air field seizures…
-Recruit and flip high ranking military leaders to execute a military junta..
-then install the opposition leader as president.
