Huang: I Fear for the United States
This story raises questions about governance, accountability, and American values.
Huang’s warning treats the Maduro operation as proof of an unhinged presidency, as if any use of executive power abroad is inherently reckless. That framing skips a basic question: what happens when hostile regimes operate with impunity in our hemisphere. Conservatives are not allergic to action.

Unrestrained by a GOP dominated Congress, President Trump has exercised his latest executive whim: the capture and removal of Nicolas Maduro from Venezuela.

Huang’s warning treats the Maduro operation as proof of an unhinged presidency, as if any use of executive power abroad is inherently reckless. That framing skips a basic question: what happens when hostile regimes operate with impunity in our hemisphere.
Conservatives are not allergic to action. We are wary of action without a clear legal basis, defined objectives, and an exit ramp. If Maduro’s removal was executed under lawful authority and in coordination with regional partners, it can advance national security and restore public trust that threats near our borders are taken seriously.
The real test is whether this serves America First priorities without turning into open ended nation building. Rule of law and institutional stability are not luxuries, even when the target is a dictator.
