I’m not making any claim of him being a dictator or a good legitimate leader or anything else here. In fact, I think Maduro’s moral character and his legitimacy bear no relevance to the question whether or not it’s okay to just bomb Venezuela and kidnap their head of state - which we are in agreement on.
I just find it absurd that some people have this “Well, this time America did a bad thing to a bad person, so I will not condemn the bad thing” attitude.

I’m actually okay targeting heads of state that aren’t popular among the populace. That part doesn’t bother me.
It’s like waterboarding a union organizer with really good whiskey.
