It's less complex when you consider that Trump is possibly working in tandem with Putin, under the guise of something else.

I condemn Trump for unilaterally making decisions he's not entitled to make (kidnapping leaders), for killing hundreds and for being a sociopath.

The cynics think today's attack on Venezuela is staged and transactional. Maduro is allied with Putin, but in 2019 Putin offered Trump a swap: Russia cedes Venezuela and gets Ukraine. (See Fiona Hill's testimony in Trump's first impeachment trial, h/t @davetroy.com). Even Maduro may be in on it. 2/
