alt Hacker NewsMaduro is not the head of a sovereign state. The President of Venezuela is Edmundo González, the winner of their last election[1]. To know if this violates Venezuela's sovereignty, you would have to ask their President. Personally, I fully support this operation, unless their President indicates otherwise. It's a good day for democracy and freedom.

Yeah, I'll defer judgement of this for 5 years, after we see: results in Venezuela. How this emboldens other wannabe agressors elsewhere in the world, and where the erosion of respect for rules of UN charter will lead.
Until then, the only conclusion I’m comfortable drawing is this: anyone confidently declaring that kidnappings, bombings, and killings are great for democracy, without waiting to see if there are any real long-term benefits, isn’t offering serious analysis. They’re just enthusiastically clapping for violence and hoping history does the cleanup later.
How did that work out for Iraq?
It wasn't a good day for the million Iraqi civilians that the US murdered.
Completely agree.
Are we against democracy now?
Maduro is the elected president. Don't spread misinformation.
The world is full of dictators, one of them just a few miles from Florida, yet the USA only seems interested in dictators with plenty of oil.
You fool no one.
