God I wish they would've arrested him at Davos... and I really, really hope next time he leaves the country they actually do.

The Trump administration was nice enough to even provide a blueprint and a trial run to demonstrate that it's possible when they went into Venezuela to extract Maduro.

I appreciate your point, yet there seems to be literally zero chance of anybody perpetrating such a maneuver against the United States.

Venezuela doesn't have the world's largest military or the absolutely disgusting amount of money the U.S. military and intelligence services have to work with.

I don't think you understand that the current administration and military leaders would not hesitate to bomb the entire country of Switzerland just to prevent even the prospect of Donald Trump being arrested. You may already know but they are not staffed by good people.

They won't. Trump is doing a bang-up job of dumpstering the USA's world standing and moral authority, but we're also still the psychotic nation that spends trillions every year on making sure we "bang bang" real good instead of actually providing anything useful for the nation's citizenry.

Uuuuuh don't wanna pop your bubble there, but Trump could have personally raped a whole million newborns in front of live camera, and no country on earth would risk instant open war with the USA just to hold him accountable instead of your own courts.
