Did Trump just set himself up for the Maduro treatment?

Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), issued a statement today in response to the snatching of Venezuela’s president. He had a number of strong points to make, but this is the one he started with:

“If the United States asserts the right to use military force to invade and capture foreign leaders it accuses of criminal conduct, what prevents China from claiming the same authority over Taiwan’s leadership? What stops Vladimir Putin from asserting similar justification to abduct Ukraine’s president? Once this line is crossed, the rules that restrain global chaos begin to collapse, and authoritarian regimes will be the first to exploit it.

I have a related question: What stops a group of countries from deciding that Trump is a danger to them and asserts that as justification to abduct the American president?

REMINDER: It is against the rules to advocate violence — and I am not doing that — so please confine your comments to the international ramifications.

As if kidnapping a sitting head of state/government wasn’t enough to get the rest of the world thinking about staging an intervention, Trump has now given them another reason: After capturing Maduro, Trump hints at military action in Cuba, Mexico and Colombia (Axios):

Hours after the U.S. invaded Venezuela to seize President Nicolás Maduro, President Trump sent a warning to the governments of Mexico, Cuba and Colombia that their countries could be next.

Cuba: “We want to help the people. It’s very similar in the sense that we want to help the people in Cuba, but we want to also help the people that were forced out of Cuba and living in this country.”

Colombia: “He’s making cocaine. They’re sending it into the United States. So he does have to watch his ass.”

Mexico: “We could be politically correct and be nice and say, ‘Oh yeah she is [running the country].’ She is very frightened of the cartels. They’re running Mexico. I’ve asked her numerous times would you like us to take out the cartels. ‘No, no, no, Mr. President, no, no, no, please.’ So we have to do something.”

Macho man gotta macho, heh?
