No other country is allowed or dares to extract presidents of other countries, even if they are in war. USA was not in war with Venezuela. What does this tell other countries? They can just do the same and face no consequences?
That said, afaik Maduro was bad and good he is gone but this sets a very bad precedence imho.
What's next? Russia extracting Zelennsky and/or EU leaders?
On a more serious note, does the regime fall apart with just Maduro gone? No second row to step up, opposition will just take over?
2026 is off to a crazy start.
