Truth is stranger than fiction

I actually didn't believe Trump would do something like this. To take over Venezuelan Oil Fields under the guise of Drug Trafficking and Terrorist Groups being removed. I never would have believed he would take Maduro and his wife captive alive and likely bring them to the U.S. for trial.

However, I don't think I'm alone in all these things either. Now my question is: "Did he do this to give Venezuelan Oil to Saudi Arabia? So, any American lives doing this were actually fighting for Saudi Arabia?

Maybe we will never know.

The thing this reminds me the most of is Noriega in Panama who was removed from power too in much the same way by the U.S. Government. Can't remember which president did this though. Possibly Nixon who was the most like Trump of any president so far.
