Little Marco Has Been Pushing Venezuelan Regime Change Since 2019

His effort were shot down in 2019 by Trump admin, but looks like he's back at it again.
If Maduro regime is culpable in cartel operations of smuggling drugs into US, there's a way to pressure him from stopping it without direct military involvement. Columbia and Mexico are bigger sources of dope moving than Venezuela, so it's not about that.

AI Overview In 2019, Senator Marco Rubio was a key figure in the Trump administration's "maximum pressure" campaign to remove Nicolás Maduro from power in Venezuela . As a vocal critic of the Maduro regime, Rubio was a chief policy architect and a frequent public voice advocating for Maduro's ouster and the restoration of democracy. His role and activities in 2019 included: Support for the opposition leader. In January 2019, when opposition leader Juan Guaidó declared himself interim president, Rubio strongly supported Guaidó and urged other nations to recognize his claim to power. This was part of a larger, two-year planning effort with other U.S. officials and Venezuelan opposition figures. Imposing sanctions. Rubio applauded the Trump administration's decision in January 2019 to impose sanctions on Venezuela's state oil company, Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA). The move was aimed at cutting off the regime's funding and redirecting revenue to the Venezuelan people through Guaidó's interim government. Visiting the border. In February 2019, Rubio visited the Colombia-Venezuela border to support the push for humanitarian aid to be allowed into the country. He condemned Maduro for blocking the aid, calling it a "crime against humanity". He also famously tweeted images comparing toppled tyrants like Manuel Noriega and Muammar Gaddafi, suggesting Maduro could face a similar fate. Ruling out military intervention. Despite his hardline stance, Rubio stated in January 2019 that he did not know of anyone calling for a U.S. military intervention in Venezuela. While leaving the option open to protect U.S. national security, he said change was more likely to come from the Venezuelan military and police refusing to follow Maduro's orders. Facing controversy over aid. In March 2019, reporting by The New York Times contradicted claims by Rubio and Guaidó that Maduro's forces had burned trucks containing humanitarian aid. The Times cited video footage suggesting that protesters, not government forces, had accidentally set the trucks on fire)]

I will add that Trump made another blunder putting the Cuban manlet as Sec State. Yeah, he got him out of senate but if he gets too much free reign in state department like HIllary did under Obama, you know what can follow. He's a 100% Bush/Romney era republican who dressed himself up to be MAGA culture-warrior.

It doesn't matter if Venezuela ranks wayyyyy lower than drug cartels across the western hemisphere, including the Usa. If they are saying I need to be extremely stupid in order to believe such obvious propaganda then you better believe I'll take Brice's travel ball bat and beat myself over the head until freedom rings.

What do you think this is about. Real motives? I think it has to do with crude oil/energy power play. Drug thing is a smokescreen, since Venezuela ranks pretty low on the list of smugglers. They're neither the source nor the key mover.

AI Overview Mexico and Colombia are far more involved in the international drug trade than Venezuela, particularly as key players in the cocaine and fentanyl markets . Colombia is the world's largest producer of cocaine, and Mexican cartels dominate the trafficking and distribution of illegal drugs into the United States. Venezuela's role is primarily as a transit hub, though with notable government corruption facilitating the trade.

There's a 50/50 chance he makes it through his full term and a 99 percent chance he gets removed if there's a debacle as a result of his neoGOPe initiative.

Well my money is on Big Marco making it. Plus, with Venezuela being in our sphere of influence. I don't see regime change in Venezuela as a bad thing.

And if Trump would have put some effort into, we may not have seen the large immigration movement from there years later under Biden.
People can't bitch about what Biden allowed, and complain about the fixes at the same time.
The Monroe Doctrine is a real thing, and important. Why the Right hasn't hung what happened to VE the last 25 yrs around the Democrats necks is a total failure in messaging.

Where’s this quote from?
- Cartel del sol is the lynchpin over all other cartels in Region
- This is also about Smartmatic software that was created by Venezuelan government and now is running all election vendors software in US…
