Hurray for Venezuela!!

[ForRedPoet]

So disappointed but not at all surprised at the reaction from MNetters safe and cosy who have no real idea of what 26 years run by a drug/sex trafficking dictator has been like.

You have no idea.
Reasonable methods of protest have been shut down and punished, elections are a sham. There were not food let alone arms to do a coup.

We needed an outside force. We are not stupid and contrary to comments on the other thread like "Anyone cheering that is as stupid as it is possible to be", we are sceptical but at least now we have a chance.
How dare left wing keyboard warriors be so priveledged to think they know better than people living there.

Hurray!

To take down Starmer? In a heartbeat. As it stands, the NHS is useless right now anyway considering nobody can get to see a doctor unless they're dying, and even then I wouldn't bank on it

So you think the democratically elected Govt should be removed by a foreign power who would then change the society you live in?

Trump has taken the President, thats it, the VP is now running the show, no US troops there, no US aid.... no nothing.

He will not risk US soldiers coming back in body bags.

So i'm at a loss what the OP is celebrating....

I think we have got to breaking point. We need help. Yes they were elected, under false pretence and blatant lies.

Have you any idea how utterly ignorant you sound? If you are not a bot I am embarrassed for you

China gets majority of its oil from Venezuela. Cream is already scooped from the top of our country. We do no expect all sunshine and roses.

Those saying it is not looking good, can I ask how many friends and family members they have seen murdered by their Government leader? How many have been killed trying to escape their country? How they try and avoid being trafficked by the cartels? How many rats they have eaten as there has been no food?

Starmer was elected, do you not believe in democracy?

Please name one toppled regime which is now thriving. We all celebrated the Arab Springs. But those governments were replaced with arguably even worse tyrannical regimes. It is far far too simplistic to assume once the “mean dictator” is deposed prosperity will come about. These geopolitical situations are highly complex. I mean there is an argument that the ME would be far more stable (and therefore no immigrant crisis) had Saddam not been deposed. I’m not supporting these wretched dictators but just pointing out some of the overly simplistic thinking.

OP what are your thoughts on this?
Are you supporting the VP now?

I truly hope that it's not a frying pan v fire scenario.

I think most people would be delighted that a dictator has been removed. Their issue is with the motivation of Trump and the US. We would be very naive to think the natural resources aren't at play.

I think their is something weird going on in Trump's mind about the Nobel. Time will tell.

Wonder what Maria Machado is thinking.

What Venezuela has experienced is appalling.

But Trump is nobody’s savior , sad to say.

Thank god the kids go back to school tomorrow! Seems like lots of people don’t have their internet parental controls locked down properly

I’m so pleased to see the celebrating and so many accounts on IG from jubilant people there.

Quoting facts is neither ignorant nor privileged.

Resorting to name calling is pretty desperate TBH

No it doesn't, gets vast majority from Russia, Saudi ...

..and the current regime continues.

Nigel is that you?

I'm sure you'll get over it....

Trump has no clue as to what comes next & the VP is now running the show, with a militia of 250k and a large standing army, the place is ripe now for civil war, as seen in other SA countries the US has got involved in.

Why don’t you think it’s real? This op or people celebrating generally

The views on this thread are scary.

There are Trump supporters in the USA who believe that god has given Trump the power to rule the world.

From r/USdefaultism - it’s an eye opening experience.

You're wasting your breath.
Those idiotic comments are straight from the daily mail comments section.

Fact check - Not all Venezuelans are celebrating. Some want their own sovereignty.

Venezuela suffered for decades, not just from Maduro, but from US sanctions. They even stopped medicine getting to VZ FFS!
What exactly has Trump achieved? There has not been a regime change, but hey, VZ gets to be run by the US and who do you think will end up benefitting from it's oil? Let me guess, not the ordinary hombre en la calle.
I agree that Maduro and his gang needed to be replaced. This has not happened and VZ is not an overnight democratic state because of a US takeover. Be prepared to wait for years while the US rapes Venezuela, unchecked.

They are so consumed with hatred for Trump that they would prefer this and anything else he achieves to fail. It’s quite creepy how utterly brain washed and entrenched they are. I sometimes wonder what people who wish for the death of Trump and who dehumanise his supporters as stupid, evil, mentally incompetent, fascist, as so many have on here, would be capable of if ever it came to actual, on the street, civil conflict in their own countries.

Give it a rest OP, what people object to is the utter disregard for international and US laws that is so characteristic of that c**t Trump

Maduro was just one head of the rotten snakes running VZ.

The rest of the regime remain in place. And the VP has been threatened by Trump that if she doesn’t comply with US demands on oil, “ she can expect worse than what happened to Maduro”

So in answer to a previous post. Yes. Things can get worse.
