It should be stressed how not-normal this is. Don't let the media tell you it's okay just because some people will be very happy. Maduro is a dictator that has murdered entire families. It's understandable. However, you can't kidnap the leader of another state because you don't like them. If so, it would be just as justifiable to kidnap Trump or Putin. This doesn't make the world safe and the best case scenario is that they install a leader that allows the US to rape Venezuela for it's resources while personally enriching Trump. The worse is civil war.

At this point, I wouldn't mind if Mexico disappeared Trump and the chain of command.

Trump is a threat to Americans who oppose him, it is very likely that he will attempt to murder people like AOC, Mamdani, and Mark Kelly in the years to come. Venezuelans, Californians, New Yorkers, there is no difference to him. So long as people defy his will or has something he can steal, he will assault them.

It will be manufactured if one does not come organically.

Nice weather we're having.

Of course Mango Mussolini wants a civil war. Divide and conquer, while the US oil companies pump the oil out.

APnews.com, first sub-headline:

FACT FOCUS: Trump repeats false claims as he discusses US raid to extract Venezuela’s president

Calling bullshit up front and center is pretty bold for the AP and that says something.

And yet they couldn't help themselves from saying "extract" instead of "kidnaps during an invasion"

I've been so disappointed with all the soft language from AP and Reuters.
