What looked like a clean triumph was, in truth, a roll of the dice with history. The capture of Nicolás Maduro became a symbol, not just of American reach, but of how close the mission came to catastrophe. Trump’s own words betrayed the edge: “very dangerous,” “could have gone differently,” the language of a man who knew how thin the line was between success and disaster.
Yet it was what came after that was more revealing. Saying the mission must not be “in vain” turned a single operation into a justification for deeper involvement. Talking of making Venezuela “run properly” hinted at a familiar American temptation: to treat another country as a project, not a sovereign nation. With troops still poised, the United States now stands at a hinge point, where the glow of victory can either fade into restraint—or ignite a conflict no one truly intended.
