Venezuela and the re-discovery of the Monroe Doctrine

Re: Venezuela

In 2020 Chuckie Schumer wailed that Trump hadn't taken out Maduro.

Within hours of the U.S. military capturing Maduro--on Trump's orders, of course--Schumer was bleating the equivalent of "How DARE Trump do dis to such a fine, upstanding national leader?"

That reversal perfectly illustrates the Democrat Party's approach to any U.S. policy: bitch about Trump not solving it, then if he does, bitch about him solving it.

One of the biggest Democrat "victories" has been to force the U.S. to abandon the Monroe Doctrine: Dems have resolutely opposed almost every U.S. effort to keep communists out of the western hemisphere.  I suspect that's why the White House didn't brief congress about the coming operation to arrest Maduro.

Fifty years ago 100,000 Americans weren’t dying of drug overdoses every year. Cuba and Venezuela weren’t emptying their prisons and mental institutions into the U.S.  Unvetted foreigners weren’t streaming across our border, killing, raping and robbing Americans.  

Fifty years ago the region’s main exports were things like coffee, oil and sugar. Today they're cocaine and fentanyl.  And Venezuela was among the worst offenders, sending tons of drugs to the U.S.

Vice President Kamala Harris was tasked with getting to the “root cause” of illegal immigration from Latin America. It turns out the “root cause” is Latin Americans.

Since U.S. troops captured Maduro and sent him to the U.S, Democrat leaders have put out the word to their Mainstream Media allies that the arrest is "starting a war in Venezuela."  It's to be compared to the U.S. invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan.

We captured Maduro and brought him to the U.S. for trial because he'd been repeatedly indicted in U.S. courts for trafficking drugs that have killed a quarter of a million Americans.
