There's a big international diplomacy difference between assassinating a leader and forcibly extraditing one on drug charges.

Not too many countries will go to the mat to support a leader who was engaged in narcotics trafficking, if the US is able to present a viable case (which they seem to intend to, if he's being charged in US federal court).

> forcibly extraditing

Commonly known as "kidnapping."

The US has no jurisdiction over Venezuela. This is pure mafia behavior by the US.
