I believe that international rules, norms, laws, and institutions serve America’s long-term national interests. Trump doesn’t.

Those of you not seeing the direct parallels to the invasion of Venezuela to the invasion of Iraq perhaps need a history lesson. youtu.be/NWICnxeVLp4?...

But if there’s one thing that History - including the history of my own people - has taught me, it’s this:

You cannot impose freedom upon others. They must seek that freedom for themselves, on their own terms.

I hope that in the case of Venezuela, Americans will learn their lesson. But I’m afraid they will not, because far too Americans today - like their President - believe that neither rules nor History apply to them.

They have acted - as President Trump acts today - with that same mixture of idealism, arrogance, ignorance, and self-interest.

Americans have made that mistake so many times in their 250-year long history.

They made that same mistake in my homeland of Guam, and even in my hanai (adopted) home of Hawai’i.

I do believe that one can celebrate the ousting of a dictator while also condemning the means to do that ousting.

And I believe one can still celebrate the freeing of others while condemning the arrogance of those who believe they know what’s best for those people whom they are freeing.

They are outraged for many of the same reasons that Venezuelans are grateful - that one man decided to do something about the situation, even if he ignores the rules and everyone else who cares about those rules.

But I can also understand why many others in Venezuela, around the world, and in the United States are outraged, not only at President Trump’s actions but also his words.

I can understand why Venezuelans who have suffered greatly under the Nicholas Maduro regime may be celebrating today.

For them, the removal of a brutal dictator is tantamount to liberation. And that’s something they are justifiably grateful for.

Several generations ago, an our grandparents fought to secure a world that would be free from the perpetual tyranny of war.

May God have mercy on all of us should we ever return to that world at war.

“That’s your problem.”

“You think you’re infallible. You think you can’t make a mistake.”

“It’s a pattern with you!”

“The rules are for other people. And what’s worse is that you’re using blind luck to justify your playing God!”

Admiral Pike, “Star Trek Into Darkness” (2013)

President Trump said on Saturday that Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in as Venezuela’s interim president and would act as a partner in letting the U.S. run the country. Less than two hours later, Rodríguez made clear she viewed the U.S. as an illegal invader that must be rejected.
Venezuela’s Interim Leader Defies Trump and Calls Maduro the ‘Only President’
President Trump said that Venezuela’s new leader, Delcy Rodríguez, would help the United States run Venezuela. She quickly said the opposite.

I went out to shoot the rising moon tonight but unfortunately clouds obscured everything. So as a consolation, here is the moon setting this morning over our town. Tap for full size. I hope you have had a great day!
