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. |
BB, sorry to be a jerk, but I have to.
You do realize that Russia tried to kill Zelensky at the beginning of the war back in Feb 2022?
Ever heard of the Battle of Antonov/Hostomel ?

But, then they tried again with the 40-mile long convoy. It got stopped north of Kiev in Bucha and Irpin.
And that's when the atrocities started.

Luckily, Spetsnaz and the VDV are nothing compared to Delta.
Let China try the same thing in Taiwan. What has the Chinese Special Forces ever accomplished?
Delta Force has existed since 1977. They have had their ups and downs, but this raid is their biggest success. Believe me.
