Life is good? Your feeling about the goodness of life depends on if a powerful country captures the leader of another country?

Whatever you think of the morality and ethics of the man, the precedent, the outcome, the extrajudicial action is opening the door for less law and order in the world.

This sets a precedent that the US is back to regime change and world policing, and that went swimmingly in the past as we all know.

Are you under the impression that Maduro is a fairly and lawfully elected leader? Because he absolutely is not.

That's true. But a similar case could be made for many other world leaders, they just don't happen to be sitting on top of a lot of oil and/or are able to credibly defend themselves. This was never about Maduro or democracy.

Your TDS prevents you from realizing you're responding to a Venezuelan

A murderer dictator was brought down. We shall celebrate, yes.

>> And what are they going to to do against the militias and military that are loyal to Maduros political party?

> We’ll see about that.

This seems hand-wavy - like you're not aware of any plan for the future and that you're comfortable with that. If I'm mistaken, what specifics have you heard?

> In the meantime I get to see Maduro handcuffed and blindfolded on a US warship heading to NY.

This sounds like great joy to have working to install leadership that won't massively harm VE (for once).

But this joy would also sound ominous in the absence any such work - like you're being distracted while something awful is put in place.

At the least, I'd check out this post with news links - that this US admin has designs on VE's oil facilities.
