Years ago, and it's like yesterday, there was a campaign loudly promoted under the slogan “Maduro Must Go.” That effort, despite sanctions, rhetoric, and international pressure, ultimately did not pan out.
Early-morning news in America today, however, reports something far more drastic: the Trump administration bombed Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, and President Nicolás Maduro and his wife were reportedly captured by U.S. forces.
What the campaign failed to accomplish years ago, this new U.S. foreign policy of bomb-and-capture appears to have achieved.
Oh, what a world.
We will be watching closely to see what follows-because history reminds us that the aftermath is often more consequential than the strike itself. Diplomacy is always the way to go, even when power chooses a louder path.
