Very normal stuff for a country to bomb another country and kidnap its president. 

What happened to not getting involved with other countries? What happened to no new wars? 

I have no problems with wars that last less than 30 minutes.  Iran and North Korea better take note of Maduro's fate. BTW, he was arrested.

The bottom line is: Don't mess with the US Army's Delta Force !

The bottom line is that Trump created a very dangerous precedent here.

Imagine Russia kidnapping Zelensky or China doing the same with Taiwan's government. Maduro may very well be an illegitimate ruler of Venezuela, but he was still the ruler of a foreign country.

Trumps action basically signaled to the dictators around the world that kidnapping foreign leaders is fair game now, so they can now do as they please.

Trump still only thinks as far ahead as the next quarter, long-term ramifications of his actions seem to never come into his mind.
