New York Times columnist Bret Stephens again made the case for the Trump administration to overthrow Venezuela's authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro, laying out six different reasons to support his case.
In a new column, Stephens argued there is a "vital American interest at stake," that Trump rejected a "quasi-colonialist" bargain to get a large chunk of Venezuela's mineral and energy wealth, and that there is a moral case for regime change. He also argued this case is different than Iraq or Libya's to minimize the chances of an operation turning into "another fiasco," and that the risk of inaction is larger than moving forward.
