    Lmao, so hol up.... This whole time y'all been b****ing because Trump "conquered" Venezuela and wanted the regime to stay there intact but when Rubio comes out and says the immediate course is for the regime to stay in power for now until stability can be accomplished you cry about the regime staying in power????

    Bruh what are y'all doing... Y'all want the regime or not???? Gotta pick a position and stick with it dawg, you embarrassing yourself again....

    no MAGAT we were saying Trump has no authority to illegally remove another leader in office without any sort of plan. You MAGA have been spamming this thread for the past 10 pages that freedom has come to Venezuela and how happy everyone is when the admin is saying there wont be any regime change and Maduro has the overwhelming support of the people of Venezuela

    How do you cultists not feel utterly embarrassed by your cult hero throwing your ass under the bus every time

    You are such a complete idiot lol -near 8 million left due to Maduro gutting the country and literally destroying it... The ones that could leave have left the ones that have stayed have no choice of a voice - But you don't get that
    Somehow the Venezuelans that fled don't count because they weren't brave enough to handle the consequences

    Anyone opposing Maduro - this is what they could expect and why nearly 8 million fled and yet CF dumbass of the year @astros123 thinks the people that couldn't leave in Venezuela had any other choice lmao / @tinman
    • The Maduro government has arbitrarily arrested and detained opposition leaders, activists, demonstrators, human rights defenders, journalists, and military dissenters — often on vague charges such as “terrorism,” “incitement,” or “treason.”
    • Human rights groups report hundreds to over a thousand political prisoners held at different times, with many denied due process or subject to prolonged detention.
    • Sometimes the government has targeted relatives of opposition figures (e.g., arresting family members to create fear or pressure critics).





    Violent Repression of Protests



    • Security forces and pro-government militias have used lethal force, excessive violence, and intimidation to break up protests. Multiple deaths, hundreds of arrests, and serious injuries have been documented during demonstrations against the government.





    Judicial and Institutional Control



    • Maduro’s administration has packed courts and judicial institutions with loyalists, allowing the regime to use the judiciary as a tool to suppress opposition legislative powers and decisions.
    • Opposition politicians have been disqualified from running for office, had their mandates stripped, or faced legal and administrative obstacles to political participation.





    Criminalization & Harassment



    • Political opponents, critics, and activists have been harassed, surveilled, and criminalized for activism or dissent.

    Nd the ones that have left Venezula will never go back to venezula so who gives a **** what they think? If you own a business do you cater to your old customers or the ones in hand? I dont give a **** what people in Florida think we should do.

    The Trump admin is now on record stating there will be no regime change and no elections anytime soon and the only thing they want is oil lmaooo. Im sincerely laughing my ass off at how utterly stupid you people look @Salvy @tallanvor . You cultists actually thought Trump gave a *** about the Venezulan people lmaoooooo

    They'll be hiding in embarrasment soon enough. They spent the past day spamming this thread about how Trump brought freedom to the country and now Trump is saying he dont give a **** about elections and he just wants the oil lmao. This is such a hilarious development

    blah blah blah blah. If Trump gave a **** about those wrongly arrested people he could force the VP to release them or pressure them to do what he wants. Instead he said he only wants to make a deal with her on the oil and he dont give a **** about anything else. This is so funny

    The Libs are so confused! Bending over backwards to support Maduro -- a vicious dictator who ruined Venezuela. But their negativity after this triumphant military mission just makes them look like fools!




    GOOD DAY

    Leftists libs to Venezuelans that left the country or maybe had family that suffered : your views don't count ! / you are part of the near 8 million that left the country - because you're in Miami and now safe, your views definitely don't count...lol gimme a break
    After the July 28, 2024 disputed election, at least 24 people were killed during repression of protests, mostly by gunshot wounds. These are deaths linked directly to state force...
    Under Maduro’s rule:
    • Opponents have been arrested, charged with serious crimes, imprisoned, or held under house arrest on politically motivated accusations.
    • Many leaders were barred from office, forced into hiding, or driven into exile.
    • Supporters, advisors, and grassroots activists have also faced detentions, harassment, and intimidation.
    • The judiciary and security services have widely been used as tools to neutralize political opposition and maintain regime control.

    All I know is the people of Venezuela are dancing in the streets and China's foothold in South America became less. Our Oil companies built those plants and had an agreement before a dictator took over the country. With this said, I dont really like invading other countries, but capturing a leader that's been indicted isn't a bad thing. This is really no different than when we invaded Panama and brought Noriega to the USA to stand trial after he was indicted. That turned out well and I suspect this will too. On a side note my son is currently stuck in Carousel. We hope he can make it home tomorrow or Tuesday.

    Congrats! You got rid of the dictator and now the more competent VP with the same regime officials will be ruling! The only difference now being Exxon/Chevron can drill more heavy crude for themselves and ease up on drilling in West Texas as they wont need as much light crude which will lead to a recession in west texas which is already happening after OPEC increased drilling.

    Congrats MAGATs on America First!

    The reason why Trump is allowing the Vice President of Maduros regime to stay in power was cuz she was soo successful at evading US sanctions that the admin was impressed by how savy she is and dont want her as an enemy. Congrats that you got rid of the incompetent dumbass Maduro and replaced him with a savy more intelligent dictator with the same regime officials.

    Truly 4d chess

    Not sure who you're responding to but your takes on the domestic oil industry, esp wrt Venezuela, need a whole lot more work.

    how does it need more work? Most of our refineries that we have in the USA were built pre shale boom which cater to mostly heavy crude. Majority of the oil that we pump nowadays we ship to Asia to get refined into gasoline. The oil thats found in Venezuela is similar to that of Saudi which is heavy crude which is what our refineries are built for. What exactly have i said wrong?

    Nd I was responding to the biggest troll @El_Conquistador
