New York Times: “Mr. Trump appears newly emboldened, buoyed by the seeming success of striking Iran’s nuclear sites and sending an Army Delta Force team in to seize Nicolás Maduro from his bed. If Mr. Trump is successful — and if his luck holds — the world may look back at these remarkable few months as a burst of American interventionism and say that Mr. Trump managed to bury Iran’s nuclear program in rubble and oversaw the fall of repressive regimes in Venezuela, Iran and Cuba.”
“Of course, wiping out repressive regimes and ushering in a new era of freedom for people in different parts of the world are not part of Mr. Trump’s national security strategy…”
“Nonetheless, there is a new argument brewing among some Republicans in Washington. They say that despite the MAGA credo that Washington should avoid foreign entanglements, an exception can be carved out for getting rid of repressive leaders who once shouted, ‘Death to America.'”
