US Takes Maduro and Wife from Venezuela, Takes Control of Country

Today, according to President Trump himself, we went in, took Maduro and his wife from Venezuela to come to America to face charges of many things.  According to Google AI these are the key allegations and charges: 

  • Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy: Allegedly working with designated terrorist groups to facilitate drug trafficking.
  • Cocaine Importation Conspiracy: Conspiring to bring vast amounts of cocaine into the United States.
  • Weapons Offenses: Using, carrying, and conspiring to possess machine guns and destructive devices to support drug operations. 

Nothing to shake your head at and let go un-addressed IMO.  I have to say I'm not against this action.  I have a feeling he will face a lot of legal issues.  I have a few worries from this, though.  Regime change in another country causes international tensions to rise.  I hope it's nothing to worry about -- but President Trump is right, America definitely has the strongest and most capable military, just taking into consideration how much we spend on it.  

I want to make a comment on the strength of the military seen here.  According to google AI we had Maduro in custody within 30 MINUTES of arriving where Maduro was, it was quick enough to get him before he went into a bunker.  Although had he, the military men and women had what they needed to combat that.

It remains to be seen what the Administration is planning on doing while in control of Venezuela.  

Thanks for taking the time to read the article!
