What is your opinion on the capture of Venezuelan dictator Maduro?

[IknowthatIdontKnow09]

[Paige90]

I think the capture was perfect and exactly what needed to happen. Maduro was the illegitimate President of Venezuela and was running cocaine into the US. Democrats (Biden) put a $25 million bounty on him but never did anything to capture him. The people of Venezuela are celebrating. It was a great and the world will be a better place to live without him basically being in charge of the very large cartel.

[Gwendoline]

There are over 7.9 million Venezuelan refugees and migrants worldwide, 2 million in the US. That must be 30% of the population of Venezuela and Maduro is the reason for that.

[Miristheiss]

I am all for those 2 million going back.
But I would gladly keep the 2 million if we could just kick out all the Muslims.
No more Mosques and Islamic schools and attempts to get sharia law in our country and competing with our culture.
What the fuck were our leaders thinking over the last 60 years?

Mass Muslim imigration? Are you fucking nuts?

[RavVid]

I am about as far you can be from Venezuela. I am more concerned with the future. Removing Maduro seems to be making Venezuelans happy.

My concern would be it is a deeply corrupt state so it seems to me to be difficult to transition to an uncorrupt state. There is likely a new Maduro ready to step up and take over.

[Miristheiss]

Surprise and I am impressed.

I never expected it.

It is funny watching the contrast. Venezuelans are all over the news celebrating and partying, overjoyed the dictator is gone... while all the USA leftists are outraged and calling for his release.

[Filthy_Immigrant]

best thing that could ever happened to Venezuela. they are finally free.

[DryGermanGuy]

A bit too early, no? They just made the existing vice president the acting president. To be free, the country would need to get rid of the whole Chavismo/PSUV elite.

[Filthy_Immigrant]

@DryGermanGuy that's not what happened buddy, you should stop trusting the news for once in your life

[DryGermanGuy]

I will always trust *our* news. I can, as it's not connected to any politicized-to-hell American media circus.
www.theguardian.com/.../delcy-rodriguez-tightrope-venezuela-interim-leader
If "that's not what happened" then why are your SoS Marco Rubio and all other politicians already communicating with her in her role as interim president?

[Filthy_Immigrant]

@DryGermanGuy oh yeah lets trust The Guardian, the most leftist platform ever after CNN

anyways, is Germany really that boring? why the fuck are you so worry about our circus when your circus currently has clowns assaulting, raping and killing your own audience

https://youtu.be/aFC-KAMj_bE?si=fh_RywCFdzQSeOfx

[DryGermanGuy]

You can also read it on FOX News, if that's more to your convenience:

www.foxnews.com/.../trump-issues-direct-warning-venezuelas-new-leader-delcy-rodriguez-following-maduro-capture

www.foxnews.com/.../kristi-noem-delivers-trumps-ultimatum-venezuelas-vice-president-following-maduro-capture-operation

Why I worry about it might be complicated for you to understand, but I'll try anyway: The Venezuelan administration and oil industry being in limbo will force the Chinese to switch to Russian oil. Which means more income for the Russians to continue their terror war in Ukraine. And that is obviously of primary concern for the second largest supporter and weapons deliverer, Germany.

And why are you boring me with ten years old "news"? Those perpetrators have been convicted, incarcerated and deported, most of them years ago.

[Filthy_Immigrant]

@DryGermanGuy none of those links you uploaded proof your point.

if you really cared about Ukraine so much then you should of told Zelensky to take the peaceful opportunity he was offered a year ago. instead he wants to keep fighting that war while parasiting off other nations like the tough guy he is

oh and if that news was ten years ago then why did you just deleted it like a fascist chicken? are you sure you're bored not more like SCARED?

and no that was not 10 years ago that was this past new years eve. but go ahead and delete this one too if it helps you sleep better at night

[DryGermanGuy]

Hombre, I don't know what's going on with you mentally to be this agitated, but you need to calm down, a lot.

The FOX articles name Maduro's vice president of the same party and same administration to be in power now. What's unclear about that?

Putin doesn't offer peace. Not then, not now. Don't be an idiot like Trump and fall for the manipulations of a literal KGB operative. Russia will have to be defeated like they were in their Afghanistan invasion 1979-89. That's the hard truth. The Americans knew it then, they should know it now.

Nobody deleted anything. Again, calm down with your drama.

Yes, that happened exactly ten years ago, 2015. The very YouTube clip you linked is nine years old! You don't really know what you are doing, are you?

[Filthy_Immigrant]

@DryGermanGuy Mann you should take your own advice and calm down yourself. Delcy Rodriguez's job can be temporary now that Venezuela is independent.

I never said Putin offers peace, Einstein. I'm talking about the peaceful deal that Trump, the man you like to call an "idiot" offered him weeks after he got back in office that Zelensky rudely and adamantly rejected. so rudely that he was even kicked out of our White House, so you can again thank him Zelensky for choosing to keep fighting instead over peace regardless if he get both of our countries envolve in his drama.

oh yeah I should of uploaded this one instead. maybe you and your whole country should learn from your neighbors in Poland more often

x.com/HungaryBased/status/2007125961431503169?s=20

[DryGermanGuy]

Can, should, might... yadda yadda. Everything and anything is possible. But it hasn't happened yet and is no certainty. For an actual independence from Chavismo, Juan Guaidó or Maria Machado should have been put into power. Makes you wonder why that did not happen.

You can't be that naive and gullible! Trump CAN'T offer anything as it's not his war and Putin doesn't give a damn about him!!! You should have noticed that the second, that Trump's idiotic promise to end the war in one day fell through, which was obvious from the beginning. AGAIN: PUTIN DOES NOT LISTEN TO TRUMP, HIS FAIRY TALES, HIS PROMISES, HIS DEALS! Putin will listen to one million dead soldiers in Ukraine. Or an internal revolution. Whichever comes first. The result is: Zelensky has no choice but to fight.

Should HAVE, not "should of". There's also nothing to see there. It's X/Twitter - the sewer for ragebait and conspiracy nonsense. Try an actual news organization, I don't even mind which one.

[Filthy_Immigrant]

@DryGermanGuy Maduro was caught less than 24 hours ago buddy, lets not try to predict the future now.

it wasn't Biden's war either Einstein yet he decided to send Ukraine $200 Billions of OUR OWN hard earn tax money. I bet you were partying your ass off when Biden was doing that huh?

and it wasn't Putin's fault that the plan fell through. again it fell through because Zelensky decided to keep fighting despite him not having the cards or the economy to do so. he wants to be a tough guy and show off his ego while living off other countries. so when shit hits the fan and Ukraine knocks on your door for help then you can once again thank Zelensky for that.

oh and Putin doesn't take Trump serious huh? you might explaining why Putin did not invade Ukraine in 2017-2021 when Trump was serving his first term?

seriously dude lay off the fucking leftist propagandas already, your brain is already cooked enough. oh and it doesn't matter if its Twitter or not, those are REAL LIFE FOOTAGE of the fucking circus your country has become.

I guess you rather comfort to propagandas instead of actual footages. but that's ok, not everyone is fit to face the actual bitter reality.

[DryGermanGuy]

YOU were the one already cheering about the free Venezuela, I was the one asking for caution, remember? So now that you are agreeing with me, let's indeed see how it all plays out. Personally, I wish Venezuela the best and brightest future - without any political extremism in any direction.

It's the war of the President that's at the wheel, the moment the war started in 2014 and broke the 1994 Budapest treaty, of which the United States was a security guarantor of. It was signed by President Clinton (and others) to ensure Ukraine's territorial integrity after they gave up their nuclear weapons and bombers. Just because you and most of your silly news shows were busy with other things doesn't mean that all didn't happen. Yes, Virginia, Russia's war against Ukraine has been going on since 2014 in clear violation of an international 1994 security assistance treaty.
Also, the United States sent mostly older materiel (not actual money) in value of ~105 billion dollars. Trump's numbers are pure fantasy, but you can research that for yourself.

Yeah, that's real live footage of... what? What do you imagine you are actually seeing there? The infamous Muslim rape gangs? You know, I have the advantage of getting that REAL LIFE FOOTAGE every day, just by walking or driving through my country. I have yet to see any gangs, Muslim or otherwise. Heck, I have never even heard a gunshot here and I have lived in or near state capitals my whole life. But just to complete the picture - our current administration is deporting known troublemakers and will continue to do so.

[Filthy_Immigrant]

@DryGermanGuy I never agreed with you. I literally said dont predict the future that you chose to predict. you level of delusion is outstanding.

funny how you claim Bill Clinton a democrat signed whatever fucking documents you speak of yet his own party couldnt enforce those same document 3 decades later.

"Just because you and most of your silly news shows were busy with other things doesn't mean that all didn't happen."

that's because we Americans are rarely glued to the news like you folks in Europe are. we believe action more than paid propagandas.

"Yeah, that's real live footage of... what? What do you imagine you are actually seeing there? The infamous Muslim rape gangs? "

no actual footage of immigrants shooting up your streets and setting up cars and other properties with fireworks while your people dont do shit.

" You know, I have the advantage of getting that REAL LIFE FOOTAGE every day, just by walking or driving through my country."

no shit you do, but you are obviously not going to do any of that. you would rather stay in your own home and believe what NEWS NETWORKS tell you instead of going out and realizing reality for yourself. and I also bet that you used to spent half of your day on Twitter too in the 2010s when it was ran by leftists until Elon Musk too over it and flipped it around taking your favorite little toy away

"Heck, I have never even heard a gunshot here and I have lived in or near state capitals my whole life"

no shit you haven't. but I bet you hear explosions, riots, properties set on fire and people screaming on distress. I think I would rather hear gunshot over those things any day

[DryGermanGuy]

I have to pity *your* obvious delusions, wrong interpretations and reading problems.
The future of Venezuela is not set, period. It might work out for them to a real democracy, it might continue as Chavismo light, it mind end in utter chaos. We don't know.

Yeah it's really funny, that the West collectively dropped the ball on Russia, just because their aggressive Soviet imperialism nature lay dormant for a few years. No, wait it's actually not funny, it's pretty terrifying. And it will stay that way for a while, as long as Putin believes he can win back his old empire. And Ukraine is only the first step, you can believe that.

Americans are not glued to the news? Seriously, the country of 24 hours news bombardment, a hundred news shows and the shortest news cycles imaginable? Are you kidding me? :-D

I have never read Twitter, Facebook or all the other antisocial media shit. I don't have the time for that echo-chamber and algorithm nonsense.

Nope, wrong again, of course. The last burned down property I personally saw was 40 years ago, when two children burned down a farmhouse. But feel free to visit here and document every explosion, fire and scream and educate me! That's what I tell everyone that wants to inform me in what a barren, communist, unsafe country I apparently live! :-D

[Filthy_Immigrant]

@DryGermanGuy oh yeah lets fear the aggressive Soviet imperialism while ignoring NATO because the news network keeps telling you they are the good guys.

and no shit, we are the country that produces the most porn in the world yet for some odd reason we are nowhere near as perverted as you Europeans are.

" I don't have the time for that echo-chamber and algorithm nonsense."

but you rather trust free news networks that was literally designed to control us all since its existence. again I dont trust Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or Tiktok as companies either but when the folks who use it post footages of real life cituations then I'm obviously not going to ignore it.

" The last burned down property I personally saw was 40 years ago, when two children burned down a farmhouse."

yeah ok I'm starting to see a pattern, people in the UK are going through the same shit yet they are just in denial as you are. I guess this is a Europe thing so therefore, fuck no! I'm not visiting your circus, not even if you pay me the flight

[DryGermanGuy]

However confused you are, you should really decide on which side you want to be, especially since you are in a NATO country. Who in their right mind would consider NATO (a defense pact!) the bad guys? 😵

Yes, I do like our public TV channels, they don’t have to make money and can just report on the dry facts. I remember - from years ago - an American analysis of our primary news program, they were astonished how calm and simple everything is presented. No yelling, no flagwaving, no sensationalism… we have private TV channels of course, for those who want it a bit more flashy and loud. But even they stay away from the dirt that is antisocial media. But hey, if you need kooks „reporting“ about Democratic cabals, 2000 mules stealing elections and Jewish space lasers, knock yourself out.

No idea why you must mention porn, but that’s probably also due to your perpetual Incel angriness, I can’t really comment here.

It’s pretty obvious why you are afraid to come here, your whole construction of lies would instantly collapse. Do you know why here are no burned-down houses? Because 99% of them are made from stone and concrete. That farm building I mentioned from 40 years ago? That was made from wood. by the way., you could go the easy route and just watch all the YouTube videos from American travelers. Show me, where they report about all the riots, burnings and explosions here?

[exitseven]

The US has the best military in the world. Going into enemy territory and capturing the president of a hostile country is very difficult. The US Army did it in under an hour with no lives lost.

The woke military we had when Biden was president is gone and we now have the best military in the world again.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

All they have to do is not fuck up the transition of power (the part we usually fuck up) and this will have saved the US dollar, freed a country from poverty and delt a blow to china's imperialist, communist regime.

I don't think my mind will be made up till the end of the year

[Bricealan]

@IknowthatIdontKnow09 I don't like the idea of doing what was done, but with the caveat that, OTHER dictators will realize that this president will do what he says he will do, and is not afraid to do it. Too bad we can't snatch Putin's ass and put his miserable ass in jail here.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Its all a BS poly. American especially business men want Venezuela oil and used politicians to do their dirty work.

Venezuela is no match to war against America so Maduro agreed to some BS poly to face drug charges. LOL

[AviatorTom]

Maduro's capture is basically a repeat of Noriega's capture in Panama in 1990. The elder Bush was President then. The reasons for both captures are very similar.

[Kaneki05]

Taking out Maduro is a good thing but it's still out on what will happen in the long run obviously

[Chazmatazz269]

I was aggrieved until i saw all the videos of Venezuelans celebrating. The US appears to have done the right thing, even if for the wrong reason.

[DonaldDarko]

He's just a criminal. He was going to sell his oil to China. He was in bed with China in general. We had to stop that shit.

[Kelley1]

Trump should be impeached, convicted, and sent to prison.

[Miristheiss]

I am so glad women vote.
You do not have to be drafted in war time but you get to vote to let in millions of 3rd world immigrants, vote for more entitlements, forced vaccines or lose your job and abortion being the most important thing... obsessed with murdering your own children so you can keep being a degenerate.

LOL, all the Venezuelans seems OVERJOYED, he is gone. Only you psycho, traitorous, demonics leftists are butthurt.

[jshm2]

You mean kidnap, not "capture". We could see Trump getting jailed for acting outside legal norms.

[NathanDavis]

glad to see it was a quick one... and that it did not require even more people dying

[SeekerOfTruth007]

Go Trump. Hooray. We should have done this years ago.

[douride2]

I haven't heard or seen anything about this. When did it supposedly happen.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

[douride2]

@Maybe_Maybe_not Yes it is all over the news this morning.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Oh yes it is, as it should !

[Pterodon]

Well I know in Trumps first term Schumer and other top democrats were criticizing Trump for NOT doing what he just did

[Twalli]

Not necessarily a bad thing. He's not a good man, but the way it was done is illegal both by US and international law.

[Anonymous]

Do you think any of this had to do with the USA wanting to take oil from Venezuela?

[boundless]

What resource will it be when the next arrest happens and then the next and the next and the next... Before you know it you'll be screaming at the sky claiming the USA wants to take a country's glass beads. None the less, the plan goes forward...

[Opinion Owner]

Venezuela has a lot of oil reserves. To the best of my knowledge they have even more than the USA.
I wonder if this plan to capture Maduro still would have happened if Venezuela was lacking in oil resources and reverses.

[blackeagle007]

Makes one wonder. Most of the drugs came from countries Venezuela. We are once again playing decider on what regime is good to stand or not

[boundless]

Yep Maduro was going down for a number of reasons. But sure oil did help fund those bad activities as did drugs, human slavery, weapons, etc. His cash flow came from significantly more than just oil.

[Sal_Monella]

Another good move by the Trump administration.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Sweet. Now, Trump, leave the rebuilding of Venezuela to Venezuelans !!!

[itsannalee]

Trump and the US is the shit.
