I’m a fan of fighting for democracy and removing dictators strategically (ie when it doesn’t cause WWIII). Fantastic that we’ve freed the people of Venezuela (Let’s hope this doesn’t escalate).

They’re a political set piece with ~0% chance of any net public benefit and an extremely high likelihood of wasted resources and opportunity costs.
