It seems that those who were celebrating maduro’s removal seem to be in danger now as the colectivos and other pro-regime paramilitary forces are allegedly allowed (likely by the state’s permission) looking and punishing anyone that celebrated it.
and it seems that the maduro regime is here to stay even with maduro gone. Trump seems to be leaning towards on the regime staying too including its current policies (but ofc this might change).

Except now the Chavista regime is headed by Trump or something.

Eventually everyone learns that Trump doesn’t care about Venezuelans, he cares about the oil.

If they want a foreign power to come take over their country and assume something good will come out of it, they are beyond stupid
Freedom can only be earned not granted

New boss same as the old boss. New oil recipient, same regime. Venezuelan people get jack shit. Hopefully I’m being over cynical.

Classic imperialism, take out the top guy, leave me the rest if the gang hierarchy in place, with you at the top. Everyone else continues to get their cut, so everything remains the same. Maybe with a bit more bloodshed.

We’re not here to help you, we’re here to steal your oil. Sorry.

-Trump wanted the oil, everything else is secondary.
-US knew that it was harder to get to the oil if there was a regime change because there will be resistance and possible a civil war similar to what happened in Iraq and Afghanistan.
-Trump wanted the oil, everything else is secondary.
-Is easy to make a transition into democracy slowly and have them pay for it instead the US footing the bill
-Trump wanted the oil, everything else is secondary.
-Trump had issues with the fact they gave the nobel peace prize to Machado.
-Did I said that Trump wanted the oil, everything else is secondary?

SURPRISE!!!
They’re gonna be more even dismayed when new “Venezuela Czar” Stephen Miller shows up with his goon squad and starts having people executed in the streets like he’s doing here in the US.

Weird. I know MAGA accused me of jumping to conclusions this weekend when I said what this outcome would be. You know it’s almost like I have some special ability to see the future or something…oh wait

Trump is retaining the oppressive illegitimate government and saying elections won’t happen. Trump is basically trying to install himself as dictator of Venezuela and merely replace Maduro with himself. We’ll see if Venezuelan government agrees.

It’d be like Trump dying. Nothing will change. There might be less radical decisions under the new president, but ultimately everything **IS** exactly the same.

When will people learn Trump doesn’t have their backs
He enjoys bullying people so occasionally he might give someone you don’t like a hard time
But he does not have your back, he does not care about the fallout from his actions
He believes that if you can get away with something it’s stupid not to do it, honour respect and common courtesy are signs of weakness simple as that
He has no morals or ethics or sense of right and wrong he will simply do whatever he can get away with

Rick Scott over at Lincoln Project did an excellent piece on this. This isn’t a new regime. It’s one person in the regime. The regime didn’t change.

trump used the military to steal a country’s resources so he gains more money under his control yo use outside of congress, like to terrorize americans.
same for tarriff taxes, paid by americans to terrorize americans.

Literally a few days ago anyone calling this out was being labelled a Maduro sympathizer, and yet here we go, what is happening is exactly what we all expected. Regime change was never the goal. Saving the people was never the goal. Giving them rights and freedom was never the goal.
Venezuela is now going to be even worse off, because the people pillaging it now are going to care even less about domestic issues and have zero care about the fallout of stripping the country of anything of value. The US‘ mentality will ignore reality and demand the blood payment in oil and resources regardless of what it costs the country and it’s people.

Maduro was just a cork on an oil drum that another gangster removed. There was never any cause for celebration.
HashRunner on
Still convinced it was pure political theatre where Maduro agreed to the performance with trump and gets safe extraction for photops/theatre and a retirement somewhere, and us gets ‚control‘ of mineral/oil reserves.
One fascist selling out his country to another that’s already done the same.

It was never about Venezuelans. It’s about stealing oil. Not sure how anyone has a single bit of trust for the US government to do the right thing.

Maybe the “new” government did a deal with Trump. Use the US military to remove Maduro and we’ll give you unfettered access to the Venezuelan oil.
Subject-Dealer6350 on
Are people not listening to what Trump is saying? He openly says that he don’t think opposition leader María Corina Machado is ”up for the job” even though 75% of venezuelans wants her.
He prefer Maduros second in command Delcy Eloína Rodríguez Gómez. She has background in the oil industry and very likely to allow the US access to it. This would mean nothing change in Venezuela, it is the same regime with the same ideology and are already in charge. The US would have the oil with minimal chaos.
Why do people want Trump to be a hero and fighter for democracy so badly? He isn’t
