NU Times OPINION THE EDITORIAL BOARD Trump’s Attack on Venezuela Is Illegal and Unwise Jan. 3, 2026
“Washington Post” Editorial Board Justice in Venezuela: The next challenge is setting the country up for long-term success
What happened in Caracas was a clear reminder that America's military, intelligence and cyber capabilities are second to none. More than 150 aircraft supported the Army's Delta force in capturing Maduro and his wife. The couple are being extradited to the U.S., where they will face narco-terrorism, weapons and drug charges in Manhattan. There were no American deaths, although some U.S. service members were injured. Follow Trump's second term Follow + 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. But the end of Maduro will be a failure if it doesn't also corrode the influence of American adversaries in this hemisphere.
The @nytimes is still in camp “there is an international rules-based order, or at least there should be”.
The Bezos Post is now firmly in camp “Might makes Right”.
Cancelling my @WashPost subscription now. This is the last straw. Bezos has ruined a once great paper. #ByeByeWaPo
