I understand the point of view of an American.

especially ones who disagree with the Trump administration on almost every single topic.

And as someone who also disagrees with the Trump administration on almost every single topic, it's a hard pill to swallow that what Donald Trump has done and his administration have done are in fact a step in the right direction for Venezuela and Venezuelans.

So we can argue the how, and we can argue the what, and we can argue the who, but the why and if, they're done.

Nicolas Maduro has been torturing the people of Venezuela for his entire reign.

He was way worse than Chavez, way worse than Chavez.

He took it to 11.

Chavez took it to 5.

He took it to 11.

Chavez, at least you could still eat and do business and have dollars and all that stuff.

Maduro painted Venezuela in a very difficult corner, and then he got into bed with some of the worst and the worst around the world.

There is a geopolitical

larger picture here, which I won't get into too much here, but just to say that China, Cuba, and Russia have been puppeting Maduro for a long time, and that is no bueno for the United States of America.

So there is a larger picture, but the smaller picture is, and the one that really matters, is that Venezuelans, native Venezuelans, people who lived under the Maduro regime or have family that did, or friends,

They know that this is one bad hombre.

He is a bad dude, and he is a criminal, and he has a criminal regime.

And they have been doing bad things to the Venezuelan population for a long time, up until and including murder.

And so taking him out was absolutely the right move.

And they did it with him alive and facing justice.

So there you go.
