I have seen what happens when a powerful navy arrives with a map and declares it will organise the place for the locals' own good. It begins with order and ends with resentment if you forget that a nation is not a harbour to be administered. If Maduro has been taken to New York after the Jan 3 raid, the world will watch the court process closely, because law is the only language that can justify such force. But when Trump says Washington will "run" Venezuela, and when officials talk about selling seized oil in the tens of millions of barrels, you invite the oldest accusation: conquest with a receipt. If you want to prove it is not, the exit route must be drawn first, not last. Set a timetable, protect civilians, and let Venezuelans choose their leadership quickly, or your chart will become a warning sign on future voyages.
