Sen. Susan Collins, a Maine Republican, voted for the measure.
“While I support the operation to seize Nicolas Maduro, which was extraordinary in its precision and complexity, I do not support committing additional U.S. forces or entering into any long-term military involvement in Venezuela or Greenland without specific congressional authorization,” Collins said in a statement.

… to Venezuela. And Congress is ready to say the same thing right after he attacks Greenland, Cuba, Colombia, Mexico, Panama, Canada or any other country he has said he wants to attack.* Mr. Trump, you only get one invasion per country! Let that be a lesson to you!
And Congress will do the same if he attacks Greenland, Cuba, Colombia, Mexico, Panama, Canada or any other country.
Sure. Those other countries (Canada excepted, I guess?) are Global South countries we need to kick into line from time to time. Don’t forget how we’re currently bombing Nigeria, a story that’s flown almost entirely under the radar because… fuck Africans, I guess?
“Well y’all got uppity when we were killing blacks here at home, so what are we supposed to do? Kill zero blacks total? Pfft. Get a load of this guy. Next I guess you’ll be expecting us to fuck zero children. Be realistic.”
