International What is everyones thoughts on a war with Venezuela?

[filthybliss]

They just removed the top guy, there are still other guys down there.

a) Also elections have already taken place in 2024, Maduro stole them, the legitimate president is in exile

b) Snap elections can be held again if needed

The hard part is distinguishing between the torturers within the civil adminstration and the fellows, who are just there to run the water and electrical circuits, within the One Party State Apparatus.

The smart thing to do is just to host elections and get out. Dumping Guaido and Machado at the leadership position at gunpoint is unlikely to pan well.

Better turn around and grab the VP, boys!

Trump threatens Venezuela’s acting president in new interviewer
President Donald Trump gave a warning to Executive Vice President Delcy Rodríguez after the US captured President Nicolás Maduro during a military operation over the weekend.

“If she doesn’t do what’s right, she is going to pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro,” Trump told The Atlantic.

So why would she have to pay a bigger price?
Make no sense to me.
This timeline is fucked.

Call me crazy but that sounds like a death threat.

Its weird as hell.

Also if Maduro is the narco state dictator and the worst.
Why would she have to pay a higher price?
And why is the VP in a Narco terror state taking over?

make sense..

Cool then let someone else deal with it. It's not America's problem to free the world from their dictator's.

We kinda have our own authoritarian, wanna- be- dictator problem here we may need to nip in the bud.

You just need to start taking out people from the top down until some of them realize its better to cooperate with America in returning democracy to Venezuiela

The US recognizes Edmundo Gonzalez as president, he exiled himself, if he refuses to come back snap elections can be done.

A good healthcare plan does not need to be subsidized.

There is no such thing as a good healthcare plan, the whole concept is flawed which is why every other country in the world does not use that model.

Like Canadians?

 

[Roids]

Like Canadians?

Yes, Canadian heathcare system is far better, ask any Canadian if they would prefer the US system which is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy in the country.

Then why do Canadians come to the US for their non emergency procedures? It ain’t all that.

Invading a sovereign Nation and kidnapping its President is 100% an act of War. What f*ckin planet are you on?

If Kamala Harris did this youd be 5 beers deep before Noon

'The Biden-Harris administration increased the U.S. bounty on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to $25 million on January 10, 2025, following Maduro's assumption of a third term after a disputed election.'

'On August 7, 2025, the United States Department of Justice and the United States Department of State announced that the reward for information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of Nicolás Maduro had been increased to $50 million.'

Seems like you were wrong. They are not keen on bringing Gonzalez back nor are they allowing elections for Venezuelans to select their own fate.

I still can't believe how far this country has fallen in such a short period of time because of Trump and his cultists. We went from Obama to...this? This demented retard is going to have several chapters in the history books? That's a stain that cannot be washed away. Imagine your kids reading his psychotic tweets in school and studying his ties to child sex trafficking, and then having to explain to them that you voted for him multiple times.



The embarrassment is eternal.

I thought Epstein files might actually do him in but a regime change war of all things brings them back in. They really are evil. I try to look for the best in people but at this point it’s so comically obvious that Trump is a horrible president and person that anyone who still continues to support him just is a giant piece of shit. I often think to myself how many of these supporters have kids and wonder how they can be okay with just damaging their futures like this. Every action he takes is making this country a worse place to live in. Might actually retire abroad because like you said it really is embarrassing to be associated with this madness

They now need to have Delcy play along.

What would that look like?

Delcy is Maduro’s sidekick…This is like leaving Iraq under the ownership of Tariq Aziz.

It won’t make much of a material difference.

This happened in Canada just last week, on the same day that carnival Carney pledged billions more to Ukraine.

First to get fucked over. We just had a government shutdown and no money for the ACA but we do have money to rebuild another country.

Just the infrastructure to pump out their oil...
