4. The charges against Maduro are beyond ridiculous

The charges include drug trafficking—which will only be provable if SDNY starts allowing fabricated evidence.

But the one that totally takes the absurdity cake is that he was in possession of machine guns. The leader of another Souvereign country is going to be prosecuted for possessing weapons that are only illegal for individuals in the United States.

We are now going to prosecute leaders of sovereign nations for possessing weapons that they have every right to possess if they have a functioning military.

This is beyond what we did to Noriega. If our legal system proceeds to prosecute Maduro for violating domestic US law then that will be proof positive that we are in Soviet show trial mode.
