RE: Just like living in paradise?

I think most of this is more a case of history repeating itself than 'unprecedented' (well, maybe except for the Greenland thing). The Venezuela thing is reminiscent of what happened with Noriega in Panama. I have generally libertarian viewpoints so I'm not crazy about the U.S. getting involved in the politics of other country's. Having said that, I don't think very many people are going miss Maduro who decided to stay in power after being defeated in a democratic election and is basically a glorified drug dealer. The more important question is, what comes next? I also don't think this was about oil directly but more about keeping Chinese and Russian influence out of the Americas.

As far as the woman that was shot by ICE, while it was certainly a tragedy, I'm pretty sure that ten times out of ten, if you are ordered out of the car at gun point by law enforcement officers (of any agency) and instead accelerate striking one of them, you are going to get shot. I know that wasn't so clear from the original camera footage that was out there but the footage showing the front angle and especially the body cam footage from the officer make it pretty obvious.
