Crowing about bully in sandpit dangerous

There will be many celebrating the order President Donald Trump gave to the US military to put in a strike on Venezuela and “extract” its president, Nicholas Maduro, to American soil so he can stand trial on a raft of charges ranging from “narco-terrorism” to possession of weapons.

- 

Prominent among them will be the millions of Venezuelans forced into exile during the years of the Maduro regime, which, apart from being accused of stealing an election, is also said to be detaining and torturing opponents.

Those exiles are scattered all over central and South America, as well as the US itself, not to mention further abroad.

Perhaps not marking “liberation”, though, will be millions of joyous Trump supporters who have watched a real-time Rambo movie... but with even better scriptwriting than Hollywood could manage.

Here at home, many right-wingers, who have found, in Trump, their new best friend, have been cheering, too. Some have even been warning our government that something similar could await this country because of the “terrible things” happening to white people.
