I think that right now we are recovering from a complete communist takeover of the government of the United States. Which was called the Biden Administration. Their policies were entirely to dismantle us and destroy us economically. Why else would they go to foreign countries and organize "Caravans" to invade the US?

Now is NOT the time to undermine the one person who is totally FOR American citizens instead of against us (the Bidenites). And that man is Donald Trump. Make no mistake, if you want the destruction of your country --- support the Left and the policies it promotes. If you want a country that can create safety, law and order, and a safe environment to raise children, then support Donald Trump. Quit nitpicking and look at the over - all picture. Communist Venezuela is aided and abetted by Chinese and Russian communists. They do not mean well for the United States. To me the choice is crystal clear. Venezuela drug trafficking to the US is aimed at our destruction, certainly not our good. The deposing of a dictator, installed by voting fraud, and supported by communists (and hated by it's people) in our hemisphere was a necessity. He was a criminal installed by communists and his country suffered for it. He actually prevented American medical assistence during his takeover of Venezuela) .

Constant drug trafficking to the US was completely unacceptable and he could not be reasoned with. Taking him out was and is a very good thing for the people of Venezuela, America, and the world.

Assuming everything you said is true, it still falls under domestic politics — and that only works as an excuse inside the United States. From the rest of the world’s perspective, it’s irrelevant. Countries don’t — and shouldn’t — base their foreign policy on their internal chaos. What matters is the continuity of the state itself. You can’t violate international law and then blame it on domestic dysfunction. Because once you open that door, you give other countries permission to do the same.

Right now, the U.S. has no leg to stand on if American citizens are abducted and put on trial elsewhere— not because they broke U.S. laws, but because they violated another country’s rules, even without ever setting foot there. That’s the precedent this creates.

Even in your scenario — where Trump acted to “fix” something — he ended up breaking something far more valuable in the process. He shattered the illusion that the U.S. plays by the same international rules it demands of others. The very rules it once wrote and enforced. Those laws weren’t symbolic. They existed to stop the world from sliding into a third world war.

And now? The message is loud and clear: Russia’s sovereignty is sacred — not out of principle, but because they have nuclear weapons. They can invade, threaten, assassinate, and the U.S. will tread carefully. Why? Because Russia can strike back.

But if you're an enemy of the U.S. and don’t have nukes? You're on your own. No law will protect you. No treaty will matter. Your sovereignty is optional.

So what lesson does the world take away?

If you want sovereignty, get the bomb.

India, China, and Pakistan are already secure. And as for Iran and North Korea — you can bet they’re working on it around the clock.

I just read an article about a drunk husband killing his wife and shooting his daughter over a football game, and alcohol is legal. Ron Paul said it very well when he was running ( I would have voted for him ) I need the government to stop me from doing drugs! Drugs were legal around the world for thousand of years until about a hundred years ago when the rich decided to make a black market and fund gangs and cartels. I am sure some Think Tank back then thought exactly how it would work and all the prisons they would fill up. The for money prisons gave money to trump to keep the status quo. biden did do many mistakes and the border was his biggest or one of the biggest but when some people hate illegals more than pedophiles they should probably rethink their ideals!
