But who cares if Trump is doing the right thing for the wrong reasons? Instead, some on the far left seem to hate Trump more than they hate Maduro. That said, progressives are right to warn, as Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) does, against a military intervention in Venezuela. Launching air strikes against the Maduro regime would likely lead to the disintegration of the army, the only institution capable of keeping order once he is gone. Venezuela is one of the few places on Earth where Trump is pursuing a pro-human rights agenda in concert with U.S. allies.
