& most agree: USA invasion, that USA neocons & Trump-hating USA Deep State planned for years, now is way off the table.

& Maduro clips, he looks very confident & comfortable in USA custody.

It smells almost like Maduro might give evidence / witness of something or be USA ally(??), & point of kidnapping him was to liberate him from the Cartel, Cubans & Chinese guarding(??) his palace? while not really invading?

it sounds wild - but -if- true......it would mean Trump did "save him" just not how libs pictured

suddenly all our [Cuba, Russia, China] radar systems shut down
The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions
barely eight helicopters. From those helicopters, [USA] soldiers came down, but a very small number. Maybe twenty
They didn't look like anything we've fought against before.
we had no chance. They were shooting with such precision and speed
they launched something—I don't know how to describe it... it was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside. We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move.

I'd dismiss it as info ops..... except........ some people who have been right before, say it is legit

Report that he used diplomatic facilities to move vast amounts of drugs.

Other reports say, Maduro is eager to tell what politicians he bribed.

Well not really. I only want to know facts, if I can believe narrative that Maduro is cartel kingpin. But Dems r confused on basic principles.

1. "It looks weak": Dems fume at their party's response to Maduro capture

"I think it looks weak," a third centrist House Democrat said. "If you don't acknowledge when there is a win for our country, then you lose all credibility."

"What happened to when they had the election and Maduro stole the election? There were Democrats condemning that," the House Democrat said.

[but] Several House Democrats floated the idea of impeachment Saturday, with Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.) even telling Axios: "We are in 25th Amendment territory now."

2. Sec. Rubio talks about oil a lot, says President Trump was authorized by court orders. Lib sorta pushes back, but seems stumped.

3. Rep. Hakim Jeffries (D - Land of Monotone Dead-Eyed Psycho Liars) FORGETS how he supported Obama bombing every little country.

one of the problems with this action in Venezuela—how does it actually improve the quality of life of everyday Americans? How is it in America's national security interest?"

Easy.

• it kicks out China

• it gets oil

• & we hope, it lessens drug flow & USA deaths

4. speaking of China, their shit failed???
