I think what’s difficult to grasp is how easy they kidnapped Maduro. If it’s as easy as a few months of training, simulation and intelligence and then just do it, how is it possible that none of the other much worse world leaders have not had this happen to them until now? Has this ever even happened in recent history?

You’re telling me the US had the capability to eliminate any of the worst ones in much more problematic countries and chose not to because there was no oil in it for them? That’s a grim thought.

    If I remember correctly, the seals were compromised by a fisherman, not exactly high tech security.

      The seals were approached by a fishing boat who had heard their ruckus, and murdered them. The us has a thing for killing fishermen.
