Hopefully he'll croak it soon enough but who knows?

Cuba in bother now apparently as they'd been relying on Venezuelan oil. He's welcome to Tyrone though :D

I'd imagine there's another psychopath to  continue the madness

Vance, but he wouldn't have the same God like status with the MAGA clowns.

Can you really picture the c***ts allowing another election though? They own practically every media outlet and  social media platform anyway.

CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NYT, Washington Post, BlueSky all have a left wing slant.
Go outside for a walk!

Blue sky is irrelevant. Progressive echo chamber. Not sure when I last saw anything quoted from there, unlike Twitter.

CBS is moving right under the management of Bari Weiss, who was installed by the Ellisons as they suck up to Trump in the hopes of getting approvals for more mergers and acquisitions. Weiss shelved an expose on the Salvadoran gulag a couple of weeks back right before it was due to be broadcast.

WP is keeping a very tight rein on its journalists because Bezos doesn't want to piss off Trump. Plenty have quit this year.

We'll see how long CNN lasts. If the Ellisons get Warner, CNN is included. Apparently purging the ranks is part of the pitch they're making to Trump to get his approval ahead of Netflix, who also want Warner.

What passes as "left"(sic) in yankland would be moderately right wing in Europe.

"Captured"
He was ILLEGALLY ABDUCTED or KIDNAPPED.

The legal case against Maduro is fake.

This is a mental take.
He was arrested.
I don't like Trump as a person but it is ridiculous how people here are jumping though hoops to defend an actual dictator just because Trump was the one who got him.

Arrested?

On the authority of whom?

Wildweasel74

Is there a international arrest warrant out for him or just the one from the wanbee Worlds policeman.

Just the Thug States of America turning Venezuela into a vassal State colony.

He was kidnapped.

Disgusting that anyone would believe a word the orange clown says. Or that anyone thinks this is a good idea given America's track record in removing leaders of other countries.

Read today that although Venezuela has any amount of oil, it's very difficult to extract and maybe not all that profitable to do so.

Not sure how Venezuela is going to play out for Trump and the US in the immediate term let alone the long term.

This new Venezuelan leader hasn't toned down her rhetoric during the inauguration.  That may be for the die hards loyal to Maduro but for Trump to get his oil there will almost certainly need to be US boots on the ground and then the fun begins in the oil regions heaving with heavily armed militias  .

Guerilla warfare in terrain these lads know like the back of their hands could make this an expensive and yet another stupid foray for the US army as the body bags start arriving back in the US.


Trump is yet another evil **** to be in the hot seat of the US presidency and military interventions in Latin America, coups funded by the CIA have been going on for decades so this is nothing new, he's just more brazen.

Venezuelan flag wavers out in Belfast last night. I'll be disappointed if there's no counter demo by Jamie and the boys at some point.
