YEP.   
According to the UN documents, this action was just fine.
According to our Constitution, this action was just fine as well.
According to precedent, this action was just fine too, we've done it before.
The Democrats calling this 'illegal' are blowing smoke out their butts.
They may not like it ... but it's perfectly legal.
Trump didn't declare war.   He engaged in a police action against
someone with outstanding warrants.   Totally legal.

I’m going with “little” evidence although it’s blatantly obvious that Maduro allows them to operate with impunity.

Could be, but will that be enough evidence? Something being obvious without evidence?

Talking heads this morning all gave excellent info about how the 
indictment is rock solid and even better then the ones for 
Noriega.   Like I said ... precedent.

Again.  Already international warrants for Maduro’s arrest. Win win.

Exactly, and it's a wake-up call to all the despots and dictators, you could wake up with Special Forces serving you an American warrant... even if Maduro beats the rap, and it's possible it's New York, there's plenty of bought and paid for judges.

It should be an interesting trial where Trump has to explain a justified police action using military force. I do hope you all win win and I hope oppressed people everywhere in the world, Gaza, Ukraine, win win too.

I don’t think the US has much to prove when the UN already has loads of evidence on Maduro.

Regardless of political slant. The ends don’t justify the means. In Venezuela or anywhere.

And agreeing it’s for the better is to condone all the other times the US has done exactly this. And no it’s not okay for others to do either. That is all.

Oh, but; and if it makes ya feel better “Yay”.
