Their lawyers are saying it was a "law enforcement operation" to execute and arrest warrant.

But Trump admits it was an attack to "take over" a whole country.

The level of lying to Congress here puts Iraqi WMD to shame.
Trump on Venezuela: "That was a perfect attack. We've taken over a whole country. We've taken $4 billion of oil in one day. That will increase."

Now do you understand why he launched his term with the insane tariff wars?

It was to intimidate the rest of the world into silence when he launched his wars for oil and minerals.

JD Vance says we captured Maduro because of cocaine.

Does he seriously think Americans forgot that Trump just pardoned a former Honduran president convicted in the U.S. for flooding the country with over 400 tons of cocaine?

I want to remind everyone that the US has sanctioned members of the International Criminal Court for going through a formal legal process to identify international leaders who engaged in war crimes, making them vulnerable to arrest.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Why wasn't congressional authorization necessary?

RUBIO: It wasn't necessary because this was not an invasion. We didn't occupy a country. This was an arrest operation.
