Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world.
This is not a problem just for Venezuela.

It will cost billions of dollars to overhaul PDVSA's creaking infrastructure in order to secure low quality crude that will be hard to sell. I am happy to predict now that any invasion will be a net cost to the US.
Trump on the US running Venezuela: It will not cost us anything because the money coming out of the ground is substantial. We’re going to take back the oil.

Dear random angry UK persons: Yes, the Venezuela thing is awful. It doesn’t give you license to abuse people with North American accents in London. Rather a lot of us agree with you and some of us have voted with our feet and/or are part of the resistance

Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist.
Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it

Il faut arrêter d'écrire/dire que Maduro a été "capturé et extradé". L'extradition est une procédure de remise d'un individu, par un Etat au bénéfice d'un autre, dans le cadre d'une procédure d'entraide judiciaire internationale reposant sur une convention internationale.

Have bought a Two Together railcard for me & the partner.
A 1/3 off most journeys for £35.
