Homie took control of the government. US/Europe did not recognize. Homie was offered a cush vacation home to retire to. He declined. We made explosions.

The US is continuing a long standing tradition of messing around various governments in South America.

Venezuela did not elect Maduro. The rightful ruler will be installed.

Venezuela is full blown communist against the peoples will.

Venezuela went from the best country in SA to the worst under communist rule.

Trump is extracting revenge for a number of reasons. One of which is the rigging of the election in the US and also elections abroad.

Maduro is ruling over the country as a the head of the drug cartels. We are at war officially with them.

Maduro emptied his jails by sending them to the USA. We don't want their drug dealing murderers here.

Maduro was waging war against the US. Trying to destroy us and bring us down by turning the US into crime ridden shite hole.

Trump has rightly shifted the focus of the USA to our neighbors instead of half way around the world, of countries that are separated from us by oceans. There is a reason our enemies have concentrated on influence in central and south America.

Hope this answers some of your questions. Oh and yeah the people of Venezuela are celebrating right now. You should too.

We invaded another country and removed their socialist leader and brought him to the states to be prosecuted.

I haven’t read the entire legal document yet.

Maybe others can provide cliffs for that.

Their govt spent 20 years saying “nana booboo you can’t get me!” and now got a pants-down-bent-over-the-knee spanking in the middle of Kmart.

Next comes the kneeling on rice in Supermax

Felt like we are the Taliban, blowing up historical communist religious sites.

The US hit Venezuela. During the chaos, Maduro and his wife were whisked off to an undisclosed, secure location.




Unfortunately for the couple, those doing the whisking were US special forces.

I cheated with chat gpt…

Narco-terror reigns
Long-suffering Venezuelans
Silence cracks in stone

Dictator removed
Crowds breathe, flags lift, voices rise
Oil waits, hope returns
