What’s your alternative? Keeping Nicolás Maduro in charge?

The alternative is not fucking stealing other countries’ natural resources and just leaving people fucking be???
Show threadSpecial WallJan 4
“Leaving people be”, in this case meaning to allow a fraudulent president to continue to commit human rights violations on its citizens
Show threadCowbee [he/they]Jan 5
Incorrect, Maduro was democratically elected and supported by the Venezuelan working classes due to continuing the legacy of Hugo Chavez.
Show threadMandrillerenJan 3
Yes exactly that. Just stay out of it. Just like the US don’t give a fuck about other undemocratic regimes around the world.
Show threadSeductiveTortoiseJan 3

And like the US shouldn’t ever look into a mirror.

“Are we the baddies?”

Yes, Jesus Christ! If it wasn’t clear before, it’s 100% set in stone for everyone to read now.

Show threadCowbee [he/they]Jan 5
To be clear, Venezuela is democratic, and Maduro legitimate.

A sovereign nation has the right to choose how it governs itself and manage their natural resources, unless they cause harm to other nations, which is not the case for venezuela.
Show threadms.laneJan 5

Do the people get a right to choose though?

Maduro was a brutal dictator that rigged elections, in 2024 his opposition got 67% of the vote, but Maduro remained. They chose to remove him but the Dictator decided we wanted to stay anyway.

Show threadCowbee [he/they]Jan 5
This is bullshit, actually. Maduro got 51%, his opposition 43%. You’re falling for the same WMD story the empire used to bomb Iraq.
Show threadCarlJan 4

They only took him, because of oil. Trump is just being more honest than when the u.s. invaded the middle east. Except that was approved by congress, this wasn’t.

Trump is a war criminal.

Show threadcornishonJan 4
If not for Venezuela’s oil, you wouldn’t know who Maduro is.
Show threadflandishJan 4
… yes. 100% yes. THE US IS NOT RESPONSIBLE TO POLICE THE WORLD. Have you not seen Team America? Sheesh.
Show threadHiddenLayer555Jan 4
Because US regime changes have such a high rate of improving the lives of the people. Sure.
Show threadSaymazJan 5
I wish unlimited genocide on the west. 🙏
Show threadCowbee [he/they]Jan 5
Yes, that’s correct, that’s what’s supposed to happen and is what Venezuelans want.
Show threadLushed_LungfishJan 3
Ah, I see the USA is setting up the foundation for yet another bunch or terrorists that will REALLY want to kill Americans.

Hurray for the corporations about to suddenly get more oil land to not use so price of oil doesn’t crash
