JESUS CHRIST DONALD, IT WASN'T FUCKING NORMANDY

I heard most of Trump's speech this morning.  You would have thought he was Dwight Eisenhower on June 6.  Yes, it was an apparently well-executed military move.  It was not a live fire exercise.  People were shooting back.  We did take casualties, though no deaths.  We blew the shit out of their anti-aircraft capability and then went in and took care of business.  Grabbed Maduro and his wife and took them away, probably to face trial in the U.S.

Trump says we are staying to run the country.  I am doubtful that that is a good idea.  IMHO we would be much better off staying in there just long enough to find and recognize and interim government, make sure to explain to them what time of day it is and then get the fuck out.  But then again I'm not president and nobody asked my opinion.

Short term, massive success.  Medium term and long term, TBD.
