president Maduro captured after US strikes

[quintessentone]

I agree fully, they’re just fishing boats, right?   Who again WAS in charge of Venezuela?    You know the place with the loading docks where they blatantly load 100’s of thousands of lbs of drugs
Like I said and I’ll repeat it for you AGAIN.  You do exactly what you accuse others of.   You’ve zero credibility and trying to call others out for what you do is just lame.  Yes you constantly attack others, it’s kind of all you do here or is it just silly ol’ me?

I gave you 18 intel agencies that disagree with Trump's findings and you tell me I am not credible.

I will never go to America. Sounds like a truly horrible place, with gun crime greater than any other country in the world and they all wave their flags and talk of freedon under an authoritarian system that imprisons more of its citizens (both per capita and in absolute numbers) than just about any other country.

Besides, they are all foreigners there.

Great news everybody!!
It’s a relief to hear that you won’t be visiting.
Dealing with your online turds is so much better than if somebody physically stepped on you on a sidewalk here in America. What a stinky mess.

That's just, like, your opinion, man.

anyway

The plot thickens!

Key words from all of that: U.S. oil companies granted access / All charges dropped.

There are many around the world that feel the same way. I am sure their tourism and trade industry is feeling the brunt of people's disapproval of Trump and his cronies inside and outside the U.S.

Yep! Trump knew exactly the carrot to dangle, then snatched it away and took everything anyway.

He ate the cake and has it too!

Russia and China get none.

With Rodríguez in there now, the people will also accept anyone else without resistance, now that this news is out.

Overnight on Sunday, Colombia’s former vice-president suggested the entire operation to remove Mr Maduro had been an inside job led with the help of Ms Rodríguez.

Francisco Santos Calderón said he is “absolutely certain” that she betrayed Mr Maduro by allowing him to be captured by the US without much of a fight.

I had no idea.
I figured her for the Imelda Marcos type, only useful for hoarding expensive shoes and jewelry.

Maduro's wife has got her own list of indictments...she's serious bad news.
The whole family are criminals.

Unsealed indictment reveals charges against Nicolás Maduro and his wife

"The new indictment unsealed on Saturday, which adds charges against Maduro’s wife, was filed under seal in the Southern District of New York just before Christmas.
 The US accuses Maduro and his wife of ordering kidnappings, beatings and murders “against those who owed them drug money or otherwise undermined their drug trafficking operation”. That includes the killing of a local drug boss in Caracas, according to the indictment.
 
Maduro’s wife is also accused of accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes in 2007 to arrange a meeting between “a large-scale drug trafficker” and the director of Venezuela’s National Anti-Drug Office.

In a corrupt deal, the drug trafficker then agreed to pay a monthly bribe to the director of the anti-drug office as well as about $100,000 for each cocaine-carrying flight “to ensure the flight’s safe passage”. Some of that money then went to Maduro’s wife, the indictment says.
 
Nephews of Maduro’s wife were heard during recorded meetings with confidential US government sources in 2015 agreeing to send “multi-hundred-kilogram cocaine shipments” from Maduro’s “presidential hanger” at a Venezuelan airport.

Dang.
They put a bullseye on her head.

Listen to an actual Venezuelan who debunks the online Trumpster's social media propaganda. He says the only Venezuelans that are celebrating are few and they are not in Venezuela and they are trying to spin a narrative online which isn't what is happening on the ground there.

Total of 40 civilians and military killed in the US strike in Venezuela. Blood for oil.

Also the people there aren't too impressed with the lack of evidence that the boats that were blown up were actually drug boats...some think they were fishermen.

The new President there has mentioned Zionist influence with your government's warfare actions.

The truth will set you free.

Yeah, the Venezuelans seem awfully pissed about it. You should go tell them what you think.
I’m betting both ranches that they’re not having it. 

I was going to post more of them but DI only allows 3 at one time including your reply which I fully understand but there’s a lot, vid after vid after vid of very happy Venezuelan’s busting your narrative.

I don't know who they will be a presidential forerunner when Trump has dismissed Machado, the female Nobel peace prize winner. 

Machado's support is not universally recognized throughout the country.

Who else is there - Edmundo Gonzalez? Within the article below it looks like there are serious issues for other frontrunners.Contenders to replace Nicolás Maduro as Venezuela's leader - Newsweek

Of course it's going to be Machado.

Haven't you seen Trump's tactics enough to predict this?

First he says "no of course not", then he "chickens out" and allows what was the plan all along. Moves the argument from whether he should have any say at all to the context of what he is willing to allow. It's called owning the window.
