If president abductions are something that can apparently just happen how come Putin or Kim Jong Un aren't in some foreign prison right now?

If president abductions are something that can apparently just happen how come Putin or Kim Jong Un aren't in some foreign prison right now? - Divisions by zero

I think what’s difficult to grasp is how easy they kidnapped Maduro. If it’s as easy as a few months of training, simulation and intelligence and then just do it, how is it possible that none of the other much worse world leaders have not had this happen to them until now? Has this ever even happened in recent history? You’re telling me the US had the capability to eliminate any of the worst ones in much more problematic countries and chose not to because there was no oil in it for them? That’s a grim thought.

They have nuclear weapons. Love them or hate them, they are the only way a country can ensure its sovereignty.

North korea didn’t have them for the longest time. None of the middle east countries have them to this day. I wonder if Rusia would even retaliate like that, I suspect not.

Does pakistan have a particularly problematic leader? Or why are we taking about them?

Your statement about nukes in the Middle East was inaccurate.

But Pakistan isn’t in the middle east.

And yet he said there were none. So, still inaccurate.

Technically you are right, but we already know the us is in love with Israel so them having nukes would have no effect on the hypothetical situation of clearing out the trash in that particular country.
