The dust has barely settled on the audacious US military raid that removed Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, but the American public is already looking nervously at the horizon. A new survey reveals a stark reality: while the operation to capture the foreign leader was tactically successful, the majority of citizens are deeply worried that the United States is walking into a trap that could last for years.
According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll that concluded on Monday, nearly three-quarters of Americans—72 per cent, to be exact—fear that the US will become too involved in the South American country. This figure suggests a widespread apprehension that Venezuela could become a long-term burden, similar to historical entanglements in the Middle East.
