The US hasn't achieved anything so far except kidnap Maduro and his wife. Maduro isn't comparable to Gaddafi or Saddam. He wasn't an absolute dictator. Remains to be seen what's going to happen in the near future.
That was basically my point. This was not some war like Afghanistan, the goal was different and the method was much more efficient. I'm not defending the strike in any way but it is a different operation than what Putin did.
Not yet anyway. Probably just the precursor for the next war with Iran.
Either way Ukraine and Venezuela aren't really comparable. That stunt wasn't actually more efficient as Maduro wasn't actually defended. The entire Venezuelan military stood down. Seems like he was sold out so Trump could have a publicity stunt similar to how Iran was warned in advance of the bombing of Fordow and the US was warned before Iran shot back.
