People need to understand the precedent here. If the U.S. claims the right to sweep in and abduct a president it accuses of crimes, what stops Russia from doing the same to Ukraine, or China claiming that authority over Taiwan?

In the Maduro capture operation, the Trump administration relies on Bill Barr’s (discredited) 1989 memo claiming a President can disregard the UN Charter (CNN report).
That is a loaded gun. The legal analysis is utterly flawed.

INTEL QUESTION: Did one of Maduro's ambitious deputies give up the intelligence/perimeter control necessary to get him in bed?
Was he already captured when Delta touched down?
Because no one else on the leadership have been deposed. It was about Maduro ONLY
It feels like Maduro got sold out.

RIP Congress of the United States.
Susie Wiles in November: Trump would need congressional approval for military action on the ground or other land-based operations in Venezuela. “If he were to authorize any activity on land, then it’s war, and we’d need Congress.”

Trump's got a taste for blood.
Trump on Sheinbaum: "The cartels are running Mexico. She's not running Mexico. We could be politically correct & nice and say, 'Oh, yes, she is.' No no. And I've asked her number times, 'Would you like us to take out the cartels?' ... something is gonna have to be done with Mexico."

Maduro was a brutal ruler, it’s true. So is Putin—who Trump supports. So was Bolsonaro, who Trump supports. So was the drug-trafficking former head of Honduras, who Trump just pardoned. So is Nayib Bukele in El Salvador. MBS. Bibi.
