My one “really!” Thing about this is that the country wasn’t invaded, the leader doesn’t seem to have been used as an excuse for a forever war and a trillion dollar process of rebuilding with a staggering decade long racket for govt contractors, all to leave them no better off than they started.

At least none of that appears to be happening. Because they just went in without any collateral damage, nabbed Maduro, and peaced out. That’s actually so massively different from any engagement the US has been involved in for the past century that I’m actually a tiny bit hopeful that this won’t be the usually disaster that a US military campaign nearly always is.
