What a good start to the year.
(We were still awake late last night, so Alex got a news alert and switched over to coverage of the airstrikes in Venezuela, though I eventually had to go to bed.)
Who cares about petty things like the Constitution or legality? Those are for other people.
Sure, Maduro is a corrupt dictator, and shouldn't be in control of the country... but we all know that has nothing to do with this. And even if it did, that doesn't mean that any nation can just... swoop in and kidnap a corrupt leader and declare the intent to take over.
Not that it's stopped us before. Sometimes we at least pretended some subtlety.
Empires gonna empire.
