Kidnapping of Maduro: What has Trump done now in our name?

From extra-judicial killing and piracy in the Caribbean, Donald Trump has now used the US military to abduct a sitting President and his wife from Venezuela. All of that were not covert actions that a sitting President can deny any knowledge of and shield the American people from culpability. Trump has transformed the USA from world policeman to a bully.

How would an American defend his country as a force of good and not evil?

When was the last time you saw kidnappers offer to pay the ransom?

@ididntknow al-Sharaa met with US diplomats and has decided to cooperate. So they lifted the bounty. Maduro was given multiple opportunities to back off, and didn't.

And the US could have easily smoked Maduro...but took him alive. Wonder what he's going to tell the Trump administration to save his skin?

The kidnapper was offering to pay the bounty for the capture of Maduro, not the ransom for his release. The bounty ($50 million) was printed by the US Treasury for payment - through the CIA - to the Venezuelans who facilitated the capture of Maduro by Columbian druglords for extraction by the US Navy.

I think it is going to be the other way round. I wonder how Trump is going to save his own skin when he is thrown to the wolves by a new Congress in 12 months' time.
