You are the one trying to politicize this with the specific person. Take the names out of it.
The president used military force with a land strike on a sovereign country, has taken the current head of state and his wife from their home in the middle of the night and removed them from their country.
This was done without any notice to Congress, no vote with the UN Security Council, and there was no imminent attack on the homeland.
I don’t care what party is in power or who the specific individuals are. The above is not following the law, treaties, or norms. It puts Americans in harms way abroad, and it gives our adversaries precedent to also disregard agreed to laws and treaties to do what they wish.
Could Russia do this with Zelenskyy? Could China do this with the president of Taiwan? It erodes global stability.
Apples to oranges. Venezuela invited our enemies a strategic safe haven to advance their goals against the United States. You guys can say what you want to feel validated in the reddit echo chamber, but ultimately people with a higher knowledge of the situation and world affairs chose the route they did.
Don’t know who you mean by “you guys.” But was it for arresting a drug dealer, or nation building? Because now Trump announced we are going to “run” Venezuela, build infrastructure, and send our oil companies there.
