Comment on Trump says U.S. operation captured Venezuela's president Nicolas Maduro

Comments

Kidnapping president of another country? That's new right?

Capturing the head of state has happened many times historically. I think the USA is the only sovereign state to have done it in recent history though (and multiple times at that!).

Oh, yeah Panama 1989 H.W.Bush

Apparently modern old farts in power can only reanact things they've seen in their 'youth'.

What about Saddam Hussein?

Wasn't he basically executed with extra steps after thoroughly trashing his county first?

I think that's a different thing.
