They will be tried in the U.S. for ‘crimes’ of which they were ‘convicted’ in absentia. And no doubt a friendly face will be installed to sell us cheap oil..
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — The United States hit Venezuela with a “large-scale strike” early Saturday and said its president had been captured and flown out of the country after months of intense pressure on Nicolás Maduro’s government — an extraordinary nighttime operation announced by President Donald Trump on social media hours after the attack.
The legal authority for the strike — and whether Trump consulted Congress beforehand — was not immediately clear. The stunning, lightning-fast American military action, which plucked a nation’s sitting leader from office, echoed the U.S. invasion of Panama that led to the surrender and seizure of its leader, Manuel Antonio Noriega, in 1990 — exactly 36 years ago Saturday.
Why won’t someone raid Mar-a-Lardo and spirit Trump off to the Hague for trial?? RESIST!
“Mexican cartels are primarily and overwhelmingly responsible for killing Americans with deadly drugs,” she said. “If U.S. military action and regime change in Venezuela was really about saving American lives from deadly drugs then why hasn’t the Trump admin taken action against Mexican cartels?”
The firebrand Georgia congresswoman also pointed to his pardoning of former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, who was convicted of trafficking hundreds of tons of cocaine into America.
“Americans’ disgust with our own government’s never ending military aggression and support of foreign wars is justified because we are forced to pay for it and both parties, Republicans and Democrats, always keep the Washington military machine funded and going.
“This is what many in MAGA thought they voted to end. Boy were we wrong.”

They don't need no stinkin' legal authority! They have the biggest, baddest military and the "hottest" country on earth! All they have to do is say "narco terrorists..." Consult with Congress? Hell No! They would only "leak" their plans.
But I'm sure trump will "wish" the Venezuelans "well"... just as Putin "wishes" the Ukranians to "do well"... as long as they bow before the king.
US into Venezuela... Colombia on notice, Mexico on notice, Nigeria, Iran and Gaza on notice, Canada and Greenland remain coveted.
Xhina wants Taiwan. They don't NEED it. But they want it. Xi wants it. Xi thinks he's Xhina like felon thinks he's America, and Poopin' thinks he's Wussia.
Wussia wants Ukraine.
Can't polish a tvrd.
All this at once is world war.
MAGA is whoopin and hollerin around felon like the mob of gangster sycophants around Jabba the Hutt.
We invaded Venezuela for the oil? Or for a rigged election? Or drug trafficking to the US? To show the world the US is back? Which?
The conflicting information is fog of war. You can look away from a painting, but you can't listen away from a symphony
