Overview

  • The column states U.S. Special Operations Forces seized Nicolás Maduro on Jan. 3 and flew him to New York to face narco‑terrorism conspiracy charges.
  • Harvard‑Harris polling cited in the piece reports 64% favor removing Maduro and 75% view his government as a dictatorship.
  • When respondents were given additional context, the poll showed 85% supported removal and 76% supported a U.S. arrest, according to the column.
  • The author argues the capture of Maduro and the strike on Iran’s nuclear program known as Operation Midnight Hammer reflect a faster, more decisive U.S. approach.
  • The piece links public opinion to a belief that perceived weakness led to global aggression and credits the new administration with closing the border and addressing Venezuela as a migration driver.
