Viva Maduro. The US Empire is kidnapping a democratically elected president and his family in order to gain ownership of Venezuelan oil fields. The vassals in Europe only care that their master needs consent manufacturing, but the good working people around the world can see right through this naked terrorism and those that support it.
May the empire and its vassals fall.
We saw how great it was to do it in Iran \s
And Chile, Libya, Yugoslavia, Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, etc.
So what is Venezuela gonna do?
Not stand idly.
Hopefully

Arrest the criminals in the US banana republic embassy would be a good start, and every other americunt spy in the country
According to friends that live there, this is good news.
Bullshit.
Where do they live, in Miami with the other gusano population?
You mean english speakers on the english speaking web? Or people that you have come in contact with?
Wow amazing, your dogshit anecdotal evidence, has convinced me! You should bomb more countries, you sick fucks
That's funny cause my friends that live there say this is a crime, and death to America
Nope! Bullshit from the US Empire to manufacture consent for invasion, same as they did for Saddam and the supposed WMD.
It wasn't from the US I heard this from, it was from locals interviewed by Michael Palin. Didn't really take him for a US stooge
A western for-TV series run by a comedian is standard affair for propagandizing. Not all Venezuelans support Maduro, he got 51% of the vote, so it would be pretty easy to find people opposing him. That said, the working classes support him.
I understand it's not the best source but it's not like I was pulling it out my arse. It seems like the situation is very nuanced over there but no matter what, the US shouldn't be involved in whatever mess is happening regardless.
Also I would say he's no longer a comedian first and has primarily been a travel documentarian for about 50 years now, one who pioneered the format in fact. He also puts a big focus on the culture and the people of the places he visits.
The nuances are that Maduro is continuing the legacy of Hugo Chavez, trying to nationalize resources and industry to keep wealth for Venezuelans, rather than the US and Europe. Venezuelans that were very wealthy before the Bolivarian revolution fled mainly to places like Miami, similar to Cubans that fled from Castro. The US-backed faction is small but loud, and wants Venezuela to be recolonized so that they can take their position as compradors once again. The working classes support Maduro and the Bolivarian revolution.
Machado was never even close to getting elected, she has around 20% support. Are your friends gusanos?
he has no friends, only a state department script
Yep.
