Of course you would think that Nicholas Maduro was running a socialist utopia.

You can't ever be on the side that isn't getting argued with can you?

Get your facts straight otherwise people will never take you seriously.

I don't know about "destroyed". Rather "seized". And now Trump is dictating the seized dictatorship.
He's apparently already made threats against their new commander-in-chief.

And besides, we can blame the US for inciting poverty and destruction upon Venezuela.
But there are no one else to blame the destruction of the US, than the US itself, which elected its own dictator.

I wouldn't be surprised if the goons really running the show will at some point get fed up with Tronald and dump him in favor of some other assrag.

I agree with you, largely, especially because we have a long long history of forcing violent regime changes in South America and then screaming "SPEAK ENGLISH" at the refugees that inevitably head our way as a result of it.

But Trump is a demagogue who is part of a larger world wide trend of demagoguery, violently populist rhetoric, and creeping authoritarianism. Every country has their own version of Trump and of MAGA, and we have seen this point in the cycle before.

Given that most demagogues progress to dictators - I think it's accurate to call him a dictator with his repeated violations of the constitution, his history of insurrection, degradation of separation of powers and of people's rights, politicization of the courts, etc, at this point. He has openly said he will operate like a dictator on day 1, and for once he has kept his word.



Anyway, congrats fellow Americans. We have another massive recession and a new pointless war for oil!






I don't know why my post is bolding and I'm too stoned to figure it out rn.

I definitely don't want to take sides here. I want to say that Maduro was an absolute piece of crap. It's not like he was a nice guy. Then again I was going and just taking out whatever dictator President we want whenever we want maybe isn't healthy. Now I guess Trump says we are going to acquire greenland? Maybe we should. Maybe the acquisition of Greenland is a good idea. Really though Iceland is green and Greenland is just all ice. But I guess if Trump doesn't want to take that crap from Denmark and Denmark doesn't have nukes it's time to just go ahead and go acquire that land.

I don't know maybe none of that's a good idea. The interesting thing though is the amount of Americans that are protesting getting rid of the president of Venezuela. But down in Venezuela no one seems to give a crap mostly they're just like celebrating. It's like if we went in and got rid of castro. Yes yes I know Castro's been gone for almost a decade now or at least a decade now.

My main point is certain Americans might think that's absolutely brutal. LOL no one in Cuba would give a crap. To them it would be like freedom like you've never heard of before.

I kind of feel both ways about this. The US just extends itself and recreates Cold war situations like on a daily basis and yet I thought the Cold war ended in the 80s.

On the other hand the world starts talking crap about how awful the US is and how the US just invades and takes over whatever dictator they want and majorly opposed to it. But really they should all shut the fuck up. Honestly everyone does the same crap. If it was communism doing it if it wasn't supportive North Korea or China or Vietnam it would be no big deal. Then all the US allies would be saying it's brutal. When it's the US that does it all the allies of the countries against the US say it's totally brutal.

IMHO I'm just sort of like you know fuck what the US does it's just nonsense bullshit Non-Stop. This is what a taxpayer money does? But on the other hand I'm like fuck Venezuela. Another beautiful country tarred by poverty they could be totally beautiful place with some redevelopment. Screw that terrorism shit. Screw Maduro. Some country wants to go and take him back find out what happens when you mess with the US.

😂... But then again we don't want any more of that nuclear war crap. Maybe everyone can just knock all that stuff off.

I'm really thinking about acquiring some real estate in Greenland though. Check if someone else doesn't want it I'll go take it and fix it up and make it nice and pretty. Why not?

USA had been gripping Venezuela's wrist for decades, slapping them in the face with their own hand, going "Stop hitting yourself. Stop hitting yourself." Whatever you think Maduro did to deserve a bad reputation, just know we've been sabotaging Venezuela for a long, long time to make it look like he's a failure.

You think he was framed? I know for sure that many black athletes had a very hard time and then the Rodney King beating and the acquittal of the officers was unforgivable. I guess that means OJ was framed also?

Keep in mind that there is also a ton of AI slop flooding the internet rn that is swaying the narrative.

The Chavistas are still very much in charge and a lot of the "celebrations" are verified deep fakes.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jan/05/maduro-venezuela-ai-images


Not saying they don't have reason to celebrate Maduro being deposed (though it is not my belief that the US should be the one doing it), just saying the regime hasn't actually changed and more and more it just looks like we're literally extorting them for oil.

---

I think I said it best just as I said it. I'm not saying I have a feeling one way or the other. If people don't support the takeover and protest it fine. I'm simply saying most of Venezuelans seem to be celebrating the removal of this person the way that most Cubans would be celebrating the removal of castro. If he was still around.

Now on the other hand when Batista finally took off Castro stepped in. So celebrating the removal of one dictator is not always very smart. If history has taught us that.

I was simply just saying....

.... Many people are protesting this. I think most of them are not Venezuelans. I think most Venezuelans don't give a crap that he's gone. Any more than Cuba would miss Castro

GenesisCorrupted said:

Oh there is a protest group of loyalist Maduro supporters.
They have their little protest in the town Square. Everyone around them in Venezuela is celebrating.

I even heard some Venezuelan reporter try and make it sound like it was a 50-50 split. Not even close. There's a bunch of die hard and everyone else is happy about it.

Nicholas is a piece of shit. He got taken out by a piece of shit. That doesn't mean that we can't enjoy that Maduro has been removed from power.

What I am hoping and seems to not be happening is that the exiled opposition leader comes back and takes over.
So far the same government is in charge with the president missing. They've been rounding up and arresting opposition. Just like they were during the election. Nothing's changed. Yet Trump has said that America is going to run that country for a little while.

What does that mean?

I think I just realized Trump is absolutely serious about taking over Greenland. I thought it was some kind of joke. What the hell does he want with Greenland anyway? It's an ice ball.

I almost support it. Aren't there like less than 100,000 people that live on the entire continent? Well I guess it's not technically a continent. But might as well be. It's as big as Australia right?

Does that seem mean of me to think it's ok to invade and take it over from Denmark? LOL you think it will be like D Day invading Normandy all over again? Thousands lined up on the beaches shot to crap in minutes from mg 42s? Finally overtaking the beaches and then Patton going deeper inland, rescuing encircled troops with air support, slapping soldiers over exhausted from battle etc.?

😂 I imagine you could practically just walk right in and take the country and almost no one would care, not even Denmark.

Idk what do I know? You think it will happen? Trump sure knows how to acquire property though. He is after all precious owner of Trump Towers and now as the president he may just want to acquire more land. think anyone will stop him?

I think the USA made a mistake by capturing Maduro in his own country.
It gives every other country the moral right to take us out for fear of their own safety and ending up like Venezuela.
It's obviously an act of war.
