"In the long list of Trump's brazen deflections and acts of unbridled arrogance, his invasion of Venezuela and capture of Nicolás Maduro certainly competes for top of the list. It was a breathtaking example of his self-absorbed and illiterate approach to foreign policy. ...

He wants the oil. He wants revenge. He wants to distract."

Editorial: With Venezuela, Trump dares us to confront what we've become

With his invasion of Venezuela and capture of its leader, President Trump dares us to take stock, dares us to say that he has gone too far, and dares us to engage in acts of resistance equal to his destructive behavior.

"The aspiring autocrat knows how to survive. The Venezuela venture was another act of lawless chaos that further emboldened Trump to look around the hemisphere and wonder aloud at taking over Colombia, Mexico, Cuba and Greenland.

In any previous era such would be considered the unhinged ravings of a madman. Today? He's daring us to look the other way."
