Nicolás Maduro wasn’t going to resign, face voters or respect the law. Force was the only option left to remove him from power

There have been many opinions about the U.S. military operation that successfully captured then-Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro this past weekend. While few people have shed any tears about the brutal dictator’s removal from power, some are worried that it will set a bad precedent when it comes to respect and regard for international law.

I, like others, would have preferred that Maduro had either resigned on his own or been defeated in an election. Alas, neither scenario was ever going to materialize. Maduro, much like his predecessor, Hugo Chávez, didn’t have an ounce of respect for the rule of law. He paid no attention to the will of the people. He would have stopped any attempt to overthrow him with violence and bloodshed.

Hence, the only way to remove this dictator was with force and precision. That’s exactly what U.S. President Donald Trump and the military needed to do, and it was the right decision to make.

The U.S. military operation to capture Nicolás Maduro was justified because there was no lawful or peaceful way to remove him from power.
