Bloomberg wrote today: "President Donald Trump believes his operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was swift and clean, a perfect action. However, on the other side of the world in Iran, his actions have turned into a much more complex situation than that."
Comment: Trump thought he could use the same template of power to win quickly around the world: in Venezuela it was a low-cost, showy political performance, but in Iran he hit a geopolitical dead end and a system confrontation, turning from "clean and efficient" into a deep quagmire and complete loss of control. In one word: in Venezuela it was a show, in Iran it was playing with fire; the former can be used for a promotional video, the latter can only be used to clean up the mess.
