    That’s what overconfidence does to you.

    Seriously, I still don’t get why the heck the media were so overly confident that the US had taken over Venezuela despite the fact they don’t occupy so much as a square meter of Venezuelan territory, what’s up with that?

      I think it’s more important to stress this was an attempted invasion, not just a kidnapping of a guy. They snatched the head of state of a sovereign nation, no ifs and buts about what they are trying to do.
