Regardless of how you feel about Trump and his decision, it's fucking insane that our military flew into contested airspace and arrested a foreign president with no casualties.

If you think that doesn’t also speak to how exceptional that operation was, I got some coins and shoes to sell you.

Everything that went into planning and making that possible, years of it, of having the right intel assets in the right places, was a textbook worthy example of a successful SMO. Compare it to the rushed and haphazard attack on Iran.

They found some traitors within the Venezuelan government to betray their leader and open the door for them

Shit birds of a feather and all that

Unprovoked and without congressional approval. Then also stole their oil. We aren't the good guys here and it was done completely illegally. There's 0 justification that makes this ok

I think the issue is how they were recognized internationally, even if we all knew the vote counts were a joke. Also, if the US had issues with Dictators they wouldn't have helped install like 15 dictators over the years in Latam.

I'm certainly not defending Trump or US. Obviously their goals weren't "liberating" Venezuelan people or "bringing democracy" there (and they aren't even pretending this time).

they were recognized internationally

Pol Pot, Sadam, Asad, Gaddafi and a bunch of other dictators who were evil to various degrees also were. Until they weren't. So that's kind of meaningless, historically if western countries stop recognizing your regime as legitimate it effectively ceases to be 'recognized internationally'. That's almost always a political pragmatic decision and rarely has much to do with what the dictator is doing or treating his people.

No US casualties, obviously.

First day of basic training we were told that our job is to kill people and break their shit and if you weren't ok with that, you should leave.

our military flew into contested airspace and arrested a foreign president with no casualties.

In a country half the size of Alaska, with population less than 10% of the USA and a combined active military less than 10% of the USA active military.

Is it really that insane? Nuclear capable superpower sweeps in to kidnap president of a country 1/10th its size and annihilates any resistance.... golf clap
