Look, I’ll come right out and say that if anyone needs to be kidnapped at dead of night and black-bagged on board a U.S. Navy ship to face a trial for all sorts of unspeakable bastardy, that Commie rat VenezPres Nicky Maduro would rest comfortably in the top ten.
What amazes me is that with all the domestic bastardy we have right here in the U.S. of A., why does it seem to be easier to arrest someone in South America than to do the same to, oh, Somalian fraudsters, Congressional thieves… and ne’er-do-wells like [pause to take a deep breath] George Soros, Barack Obama, Eric Swalwell, Ilhan Omar, the Clintons etc. etc. etc.?
In other words, can we at least start to get some of the well-known local assholes into orange jumpsuits before venturing into furrin countries?
Because — and here’s a parallel thought — I have to say that unless the DOJ has some serious goods on Maduro, and by this I mean evidence of actual crimes that he has committed against U.S. citizens, I’m profoundly uneasy that we can just grab the leader of a foreign state, bring him Over Here and book him. (I know, there’s the Noriega Precedent for this kind of thing.)
I mean, what’s BritPM Keir Two-Tier Starmer? Chopped liver? Surely he should have been ahead of Maduro on the list of kidnappees? [pause to let the storms of applause from my Brit Readers die down]
And if we’re going to nab Maduro for shipping the eeeevil droggs to the U.S., what about the Mexican drug exporters? (Okay, maybe they’re better-protected than Maduro, but still.)
All that said, if one of the end goals of this action is to make the other South American assholes (like that Colombian Commie tool) uneasy about their future prospects, then I can see why Generalissimo Trump dun wot he dun.
