    Tbh maduro is a stupid person, and while this is a violation to international laws, he deserves to be in jail for life after all crimes against humanity on 2014 strikes. I do not feel bad by his faith. The best scenario would be the venezuelan people make justice, but regime had all the state forces. What option do they had???

      Maduro is bad, but that’s not what this is about. It’s about extrajudicial killings by the US military, and the kidnapping of a foreign head of state. Even if he’s evil and deserves it, that doesn’t give the US the right to do it. If the world comes together and decides it’s necessary, that’s one thing. Unilaterally invading, murdering civilians, and kidnapping a head of state and their spouse is not okay in any circumstance.

      And the worst thing we can do is turn a blind eye to it just because Maduro is evil, because that tells the US that they can do whatever they want as long as they pretend to do it for noble reasons.

      We did that with Iraq and that was one of the biggest clusterfucks in modern history, costing hundreds of thousands of lives, trillions of dollars, and destabilizing the entire region while fueling anti-American sentiment and Islamist extremism for decades.
