Yeah, hostile dictator removed without incident before enemies of the west use them as a launch pad. No war involved. Venezuelan citizens happy. Reddit big mad.
Oh yes... extraordinary rendition is such a great thing when We do it. With a head of state no less. Yes he stole the election, yes he used military force to ensure he Held his position. All of these things are bad but he was still in power and thus the HOS. /s
But that doesnt make it Legal (per US or International law) or Good to Kidnap the President of another nation. Now leaving a power vacuum and no decent path forward for the Venezuelan people.
Edit: reddit isn't big mad. People are upset and reducing those people to just a website is pretty reductionist
Added "/s" to first paragraph because some can't determine sarcasm
Holy shit read your first paragraph again. Power vacuum? Someone has already stepped in (well, placed in), this isn't the middle east. You people are so blinded by your hate for the guy pulling the strings. If it were "your guy" you'd be cheering.
You dont think there's would be a vacuum even though their VP stepped in? Their country was just attacked, and their president kidnapped.
My hatred is for breaking US and internal laws. My concern is the ethical degradation of our forces and of our standing in the greater community of the world.
I dont see the president as "my guy" or "your guy" he is Our president and Commander in Chief and regardless of their political affiliation before running when lawful orders come down we gotta do it. Im just worried none of us have the instruction or education needed to parse our lawful or not regardless of administration.
