Hmmmm...I seem to remember when foreign "forever wars" were a bad thing for the U.S.  But now kidnapping a president of a sovereign country and his wife while bombing its capital without a congressional war declaration is A-OK now?

 **nononono*

The "forever" aspect of this remains to be seen.  The tell will be if we declare this to be nation building.

Attorney General Pamela Bondi

@AGPamBondi

21m
Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, have been indicted in the Southern District of New York.  Nicolas Maduro has been charged with Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy, Cocaine Importation Conspiracy, Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices, and Conspiracy to Possess Machineguns and Destructive Devices against the United Sts. They will soon face the full wrath of American justice on American soil in American courts. On behalf of the entire U.S. DOJ, I would like to thank President Trump for having the courage to demand accountability on behalf of the American People, ateand a huge thank you to our brave military who conducted the incredible and highly successful mission to capture these two alleged international narco traffickers.

Great.  We've heard this before and nothing has happened.  IF anyone can mess up this operation and what has happened it's her.  Please Mr. President, have AG Bondi step down and appoint someone else ASAP! 
Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

Excerpt:
You know, when President Trump decides to take down a corrupt dictator like Nicolás Maduro, he does it with precision and power—and the left’s outrage is just the cherry on top. Secretary of State Marco Rubio spilled the details on a call with Sen. Mike Lee, explaining how the kinetic action to snag Maduro was totally legal under Article II of the Constitution: it’s the president’s inherent authority to protect U.S. personnel from imminent threats. “This action likely falls within the president’s inherent authority under Article II of the Constitution to protect U.S. personnel from an actual or imminent attack,” Lee posted after the briefing. No need for Congress’s blessing or a full-blown war declaration—this was a clean, efficient operation to serve an arrest warrant, and it went off without a hitch.





How long until an activist Judge orders President Trump to release them?

JONATHAN TURLEY: Why capture of Maduro didn't require approval from Congress
Venezuelan president faces 2020 drug trafficking indictment in New York following extraordinary Saturday raid
 By Jonathan Turley Fox News
Published January 3, 2026 8:32am EST

In an extraordinary military operation, the United States launched a large-scale military operation in Caracas, Venezuela, early Saturday, with special forces seizing President Nicolás Maduro and his wife. There is a pending 2020 indictment of Maduro in the Southern District of New York where he is expected to be taken to face prosecution.

The operation comes not long after the 37th anniversary of the capture of Manuel Antonio Noriega on Dec. 20, 1989. Noriega was convicted of drug and money laundering offenses and sentenced to 40 years in prison. He was tried in Miami.

Maduro was indicted in a four-count superseding indictment with Diosdado Cabello Rondón, 56, head of Venezuela’s National Constituent Assembly; Hugo Armando Carvajal Barrios aka "El Pollo," 59, former director of military intelligence; Clíver Antonio Alcalá Cordones, 58, former General in the Venezuelan armed forces; Luciano Marín Arango aka "Ivan Marquez," 64, a member of the FARC’s Secretariat, which is the FARC’s highest leadership body; and Seuxis Paucis Hernández Solarte aka "Jesús Santrich," 53, a member of the FARC’s Central High Command, which is the FARC’s second-highest leadership body.

This operation will be justified as executing the criminal warrant and responding to an international drug cartel, a very similar legal framework to the one used against Noriega. There is precedent supporting that earlier operation, which will now be used to defend the actions in Venezuela.

Yeah, having Bondi on this job doesn't fill me with confidence, especially when that District Court is involved.  Next we'll hear that Boasberg is the "randomly selected" Judge.   9999hair out0000

Holy crap, we took out Maduro over night and he’s already been charged with crimes in New York. Surgical and precise strike. Zero reported casualties. Cuba’s finished now, Iran is on the precipice of collapse. Bad time to be a bad guy.

In case anyone is wondering, I’m hearing that Maduro will not get the former head of state treatment where he gets to live the rest of his days in some other country. They plan to put him on trial here in the US for his many crimes that harmed US citizens. A major message sent.
