I think what’s difficult to grasp is how easy they kidnapped Maduro. If it’s as easy as a few months of training, simulation and intelligence and then just do it, how is it possible that none of the other much worse world leaders have not had this happen to them until now? Has this ever even happened in recent history?

You’re telling me the US had the capability to eliminate any of the worst ones in much more problematic countries and chose not to because there was no oil in it for them? That’s a grim thought.

    The past week (months, years…) have taught me to not to believe anyone saying the US government “can’t”. It certainly can. It just doesn’t.

    Edit: the next Democratic president should build high-speed rail that cuts through and ruins Republican-heavy residential areas. Don’t go through permitting or whatever, just start ripping up the roads. They can go cry about it in the comment section. There will be no other consequences.
