<p>Kitchen knives actually do have safety features, such as non-slip handles and finger guards, which users appreciate. I certainly do. Users also appreciate safeguards in cli tools, such as not deleting all data if input happens to be slightly wrong. Sure, you could design your tool to be used exclusively by leet hackers, but the idea of sanitizing your inputs is not completely preposterous.</p>

<p>> How doable is it with vanilla css?<p>Under all of the framework complexity that specific look is still achieved with CSS. In fact, you could rip out the CSS they use with very little modification and pair it with a ~five-line React component that doesn't require any third-party imports.</p>

<p>From a purely moral standpoint, my answer would be "yes, absolutely." Unfortunately, most of these interventions are not practically possible. Taking out a dictator in US's backyard is so much easier (and easier to do bloodlessly) than any of these examples.</p>

<p>I'd just call the police, since they're more powerful than your average robber.<p>Maduro's remaining cronies could call on Russia for help since they just signed a military alliance. However, that's not likely to work.</p>

<p>>  maybe slightly further cementing that the US will not come to Taiwan's aid<p>Isn't that the opposite? The US just demonstrated that it can still conduct military operations, and the presence of Chinese envoys in the country does not deter it in any way. As of now, China has one fewer source of oil it can rely on in case of an invasion.</p>

<p>The difference is that Russia's goal is the annexation of most or all Ukrainian territory, the looting of the country and the erasure of its national identity. Without western support, Ukraine would be in a much worse state than it is now.<p>Whatever US goals are, it seems they are not pushing forward after snatching Maduro.</p>

<p>It's not entirely unexpected - you must have missed the recent deployment of the US Navy in the region, which looked like a naval blockade. But this operation is certainly daring - far more impressive than simply blowing Maduro up with a drone strike, which I personally expected.<p>It's justified by portraying Maduro as a drug kingpin responsible for the fentanyl epidemic in the US. He is also blamed for some gang activity.</p>
