America Bombs Venezuela

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Just because Madurno is left wing doesn't mean he wasn't an anti-democratic dictator.
Everything Trump wants to be in fact.

Your post is a complete non-sequitur.

My point is based on the erstwhile/putative International Rules-Based Order.

Didn’t see any sign of that on the news. Most were panic buying essentials in anticipation of the crisis getting worse.

Well a lot of them probably still have no idea what's happening.

Here's the reaction from Venezuelans around the world. https://www.reuters.com/world/ameri...ros-deposition-wonders-whats-next-2026-01-03/

Is it not more important what Venezuelans in Venezuela think?

People can take the piss out of Starmer but sadly he and every other European leader are not going to say boo to anyone. Trump has ruthlessly exposed the weakness at the heart of European Security, NATO and the UN. European leaders badly needs to develop a backbone and start putting some moral framework back into geopolitics. The trend for the foreseeable future is that the continent looks weaker an weaker everyday in the face of unpredictable and contemptuous ally.

And contemptible.

Because Americans regime change went really well in Libya, Iran and Afghanistan.

We'll have to wait and see. All my point is is that Venezuela was in turmoil under Maduro and a lot of people are acting like it wasn't.

That's like showing all the people who live in Spain who voted for Brexit knowing it's doesn't affect them.

Did you actually read my post? The first line of my post.

It’s not just about Venezuela, though.

So a sociopath is now someone who doesn't want to give an easy answer..

Your easy answer to his question means you'd be dead.

Yep his European free spirit attitude!

Conveniently uninformed that some people in that region can barely breathe let alone have undivided freedoms to fight for their rights and right to exist.

When he is a littler older he may realise that you can’t just go in and take over a nation of 100 odd million people to just give them the freedom to riot.

I let the “sociopath” comment pass. Don’t want to directly upset someone with counter offensive comment/label that I don’t know at all. Sticks and stones and all that…

I doubt theres one Venezuelan that wants regime change and the World Police taking a lot of their countries wealth out of the ground.

It's a disgrace.

No one is acting like it wasn’t FFS. That’s just bullshit man. Come on. But yes — the wait and see part is trying to figure out how things evolve there. Per my (and many others’) posts, Trump has a very long history of not thinking — or caring — about the consequences of his actions beyond the immediate and the visceral. I doubt this is different.

Well this is from a Venezuelan in Caracas.

“There should be a positive change for all Venezuelans,” motorcycle rider Ronald Galuee told the news agency, adding that “now is the time for transition in this country.”

 

[BlueAnorak]

It’s clear that the majority of Venezuelans aren’t supporters of Maduro but I’m fairly sure they wouldn’t want an external power getting rid of him in their behalf. It’s an extremely dangerous precedent and the US will end up losing out big time when no country wants anything to do them. The big winner is China.

I'm not sure about that at all.
After all, Madurno did nullify their vote to get rid of a legally elected Opposition leader. There was a lot of violence as a result that wS put down by the Venezuelan military amd police.

Certainly is, obviously the one's who fled the country because of the regime will be happy he's gone. Over the coming weeks we're bound to find out more about how those living there feel, they should at least be able to speak their minds now.

There should be. But there won't.

There may well be many that want regime change. But for me, I dont want another country making that decision for me, and I dont want them taking the natural resources of my country for their countries wealth.

Venezuelan oil should benefit Venezuelans.

Lots of countries run by cunts. The Yanks gonna go after all of them or just those with the heavy crude their economy and refineries need?

 

[i kne albert davy]

There should be. But there wont.

Not sure you can say that with any certainty.

I'm certain.

I'm certain.

Time will tell I suppose.
