> mostly striking military targets

You are ok with Trump invading a neighbour country, kidnapping a person while accepting some civilian casualties?

I wonder what you would think if Canada would invade the USA and kidnapping Trump and other criminals.

This strike was not sanctioned by Venezuela. They are sovereign and they have the right to deal with their affairs in their own way. The USA -- as so often in history -- are playing judge, jury and executioner in foreign countries. They violated international law. The fact that you want to celebrate this says a lot about your attitude towards sovereignty , due process and human life.

Nope. But I’m saying this could potentially turn out okay.

Probably not. We probably get a civil war or like Cuba moonshotting for nukes. But there are avenues from this point on where it could wind up okay. (I would not have expected we’d have nabbed Maduro so quickly twelve hours ago.)

> They violated international law

I mean, this is dead. China, Russia and America have explicitly called it dead. Iran, Israel, India and France, too. It’s basically Brussels and Brazil still respecting it, and neither is a military power.

Yeah, that makes it such a weird notion to want to celebrate here. I mean, even if Venezuelans get really lucky and come out ahead, the global net result of actions like this is hardly going to be positive.
