      And now comes the part of the regime change America has 0% experience in pulling off successfully and we’ll watch Veneuela collapse into the next Iraq/Al Qaeda/IS wartorn hell-hole and innocent civilians will pay the price.

        Venezuela was primed for revolution even before the USA pulled its little stunt, tbh. Maduro lost his last election so bad that they couldn’t even make up any fake polling numbers to justify it: all the polling places got together and shared numbers showing Gonzalez won by a landslide, and that’s even AFTER Maduro tipped the scale by banning Machado from participating.

        BTW, despite her flattery of him, Trump refused to openly back Machado, due to her being a brown woman.

        Unfortunately I don’t have the right, that would be unjust foreign interference, but from what little I know of the situation it sounds like Caracas itself might be turning on the palace. Which is good.

          You know, you should start with the big, orange one then. Maybe clean up your own home before getting on that high horse.

            Americans have tried to kill Trump on several occasions. You can buy 8645 and 8647 T-Shirts, even. We hate that fucking guy.

              Reality doesn’t agree. How come he is your president, then? He (supposedly) got there legitimately.

                Because external forces, including a group of billionaires as well as Russia and China, held enough social media campaigns to convince 9 million people who voted for Biden in 2020 to sit at home in 2024, resulting in the second Trump term. Since then, things have rapidly declined in the USA and Trump’s support has dropped to new lows.

                  Oh, I see. Of course it was some external agent inflicting this on you. It was some evil cabal of foreigners! After all, how a country so intelligent and civilized could have done that to themselves?
