Why Trump's removal of Maduro is unprecedented
The details are still murky but whatever you make of Nicolas Maduro - a bad ruler and an illegitimate one by the end - the manner of his removal seems at odds with the principles of international law.

Venezuela now, because he wants the oil.
He wants the oil under Greenland too. And under Canada. He's openly called for them to be part of the USA.
How long before he decides to bomb a couple of NATO members to get his own way?
The USA is a rogue nation.

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

So when he said “drill baby drill” what he really meant was “bomb baby bomb” a sovereign nation to overthrow their government and steal their oil.

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.

Trump says US will 'run' Venezuela until 'safe transition can take place'.
He will install a puppet regime. US Oil companies moving in to boost profits.
Free/fair elections are not possible under the US jackboots. People can have any govt as long as it serves Trump.

Maduro's not a good guy, agreed. But neither is Putin, and Trump rolled out the red fucking carpet for him. It's not about dope, it's about oil (which kinda IS dope).
Just when you think Trump has hit the gutter, he bounces lower.
