Civilian casualties are always bad.
Civilian casualties are never “okay” nor are they “ok” or “OK”.
Whether civilian casualties are justifiable since they were caused by appropriate use of military force against valid military targets is a separate question from the above displays of a 3rd grader’s grasp of geopolitics, I don’t know that enough details are available to make that call about Venezuela yet but I haven’t seen any evidence that there was unjustifiable force used against invalid targets.
Whether attacking Maduro in this way at all was good idea remains to be seen. It seems like a much bigger gamble than I would have been comfortable with, were I in Trump’s shoes, but it went off pretty well in terms of execution, and it remains to be seen what geopolitical results are actually accomplished.
