"Millions of people around the world, most of all in Venezuela, are celebrating the downfall of the dictator Nicolas Maduro. President Donald Trump's decision to capture him on Saturday is one of the boldest moves a president has made in years, and the operation was an unquestionable tactical success, began the Post. This is a major victory for American interests. Just hours before, supportive Chinese officials held a chummy meeting with Maduro, who had also been propped up by Russia, Cuba and Iran. No doubt millions of Venezuelans will remember who backed their oppressor and who effected his removal."
"The end of Maduro will be a failure if it doesn't also corrode the influence of American adversaries in this hemisphere. Maduro's removal also sends an important message to tinpot dictators in Latin America and the world: Trump follows through. President Joe Biden offered sanctions relief to Venezuela, and Maduro responded to that show of weakness by stealing an election, it added. Trump had telegraphed for months that Maduro could not remain in power, yet Venezuela's arrogantly illegitimate leader clung on."
Trump authorized an operation to capture Nicolás Maduro, and the operation was a tactical success celebrated by many, especially in Venezuela. The capture is framed as a major victory for American interests and a rebuke to countries that supported Maduro, including China, Russia, Cuba and Iran. The removal is cast as a message to other authoritarian leaders that promises of action will be followed through. Prior U.S. measures such as offered sanctions relief are contrasted with Maduro's alleged election theft. Observers warn of possible negative outcomes, including the rise of another anti-American leader or national chaos, even as hope and celebration spread. For years, Maduro served as a symbol of the false warmth of Latin American collectivism.
