I'm an oldster who remembers the humane advice of my godfather, a Connecticut veteran of the WW1 carnage who became a Yankee preacher in the Ouachitas of west Arkansas.
I’ve heard he said the same about slavery being the best thing that ever happened to slaves. /sarcasm

I would prefer a democratic Venezuela today (as I would have preferred a democratic Germany in the 1930’s and a democratic America post 2025), but the decision rests with the respective people.

MAGA supports Trump in wake of Maduro’s capture and extraction and Trump’s demand to “run” Venezuela—just as America supported GWB in his invasion of Iraq to remove (non-existing) weapons of mass destruction.

Rubio says the U.S. doesn't need Venezuelan oil but seeks to deny adversaries control over it—and doesn't rule out occupying the country | Fortune
"What we're not going to allow is for the oil industry in Venezuela to be controlled by adversaries of the United States."

There’s always a tweet.

2. Absorb Canada as America’s 51st State.
Maduro will be held in a federal facility in NYC, prob the MCC the same jail as EPSTEIN…

Time will QUICKLY tell us whether Trump’s Maduros escapade is a successful Noriega2 or a tangled Santa Ana affair that leads to a prolonged conflict.
Who is running Venezuela and what are Trump's oil plans?
Trump says the US will "run" Venezuela and manage its oil after capturing its president Maduro.
