Trump attacks Venezuela

The United States has launched military strikes in Venezuela. There has been no word yet on what the intent of the strikes are, and whether there will be a ground invasion.

The intent could be regime change, or to take Maduro into custody, or just to discourage the drug trade.

At this stage it appears to be more than just missiles from carriers. There are reports of numerous US planes in Venezuela air space also striking targets.

UPDATE: The BBC reports Trump saying they have Maduro and his wife in custody. Huge.
