United States invasion of PanamaThe United States invaded Panama in mid-December 1989 during the presidency of George H. W. Bush. The purpose of the invasion was to depose the de facto ruler of Panama, General Manuel Noriega, who was wanted by U.S. authorities for racketeering and drug trafficking. The operation, code named Operation Just Cause, concluded in late January 1990 with the surrender of Noriega.[9] The Panama Defense Forces (PDF) were dissolved, and President-elect Guillermo Endara was sworn into office.
Noriega, who had longstanding ties to United States intelligence agencies, consolidated power to become Panama's de facto dictator in the early 1980s. In the mid-1980s, relations between Noriega and the U.S. began to deteriorate due to fallout of the murder of Hugo Spadafora and the removal from office of President Nicolas Ardito Barletta. His criminal activities and association with other spy agencies came to light, and in 1988 he was indicted by federal grand juries on several drug-related charges. Negotiations seeking his resignation, which began under the presidency of Ronald Reagan, were ultimately unsuccessful. In 1989, Noriega annulled the results of the Panamanian general elections, which appeared to have been won by opposition candidate Guillermo Endara; President Bush responded by reinforcing the U.S. garrison in the Canal Zone. Following the declaration of a state of war between Panama and the United States passed by the Panamanian general assembly, as well as the lethal shooting of a Colombia-born U.S. Marine officer Lt. Robert Paz at a PDF roadblock, Bush authorized the execution of the Panama invasion plan.
On December 20, the U.S. invasion of Panama began. Panamanian forces were rapidly overwhelmed, although operations continued for several weeks. Endara was sworn in as president shortly after the start of the invasion. Noriega eluded capture for several days before seeking refuge in the Holy See diplomatic mission in Panama City. He surrendered on January 3, 1990, and was then flown to the U.S., where he was tried, convicted and sentenced to 40 years in prison.
The Pentagon estimated that 516 Panamanians were killed during the invasion, including 314 soldiers and 202 civilians. A total of 23 U.S. soldiers and 3 U.S. civilians were killed. The United Nations General Assembly, the Organization of American States and the European Parliament condemned the invasion as a violation of international law.[10][11] Meanwhile, the United States government cited a responsibility to protect American citizens residing in Panama, along with a need to enforce democracy and human rights, as rationale for the invasion.[12]

Hope our Venezuelan ambassador and the people protecting him are safe. Because only democrats know how to overthrow a dictator the right way and then arm the nutcases who passed the arms onto ISIS. Of course the Libyan slave trade also exploded so the dems will take that as a win. Then of course there was the text book exit from Kabul which was mostly peaceful except for the dead Americans and innocent Afghan family that the dementia patient offed.

Also remember that the quisling that is the dementia patient advised barry that offing Bin Laden wasn't in the nation's interest while in the War Room before the mission. America Last indeed.

Anything that fucks China is good by me.
The simpletons here will scream about oil because they can't process anything more complex than 1 + 1.

I’d rather have oil than democracy.

It's their oil. What will happen is that they will negotiate with US oil companies to extract the oil and build and maintain the oil infrastructure. Just as it was before Chavez
nationalizedstole the US owned oil infrastructure and terminated the oil contracts. The result was they killed the golden goose. Also they will now take back deported Venezuelans.All for the good of the average Venezuelan citizens that the Chavez/Maduro socialists claimed to care about. God knows how much Maduro has stolen.

I messaged a couple from Venezuala- said they've been glued to the TV all day. They woke up to voice mails and DMs about the ousting of Maduro. The husband said he and his wife couldn't be more appreciative of Trump and Rubio's work to make this happen.
He said this is just day one and it won't be an easy road. But at least there is light where there wasn't beforehand.
I have to imagine their thoughts are the same as the majority of Venezuelans today.
