Has it been mentioned that the US used "contracted forces" to remove Machado from Venezuela on Thursday? Ive been off line for a few days, was there a thread regarding that?

Here is a note from the BBC, by the way, this is an NGO I can support

quote:

The clandestine 5,500-mile (8,850km) journey from Venezuela to Norway was organised by Bryan Stern, a US special forces veteran who heads the Grey Bull Rescue Foundation, a Florida-based NGO specialising in the “rescue [of] Americans and allies from conflict and disaster zones”, according to its website.


Her daughter accepted her Nobel Prize and the following day, to everyone's surprise she shows up at the ceremonies.

Reminds me of the story about the woman years ago captured by some warlords in africa. For weeks moved from one place to another, got some terrible infection, lost weight, sick as a dog. Every night they getting high and firing off guns. Then one night firing of guns and screaming, she said she thought another group was attacking and she was definitely dead, curled up in a ball, blindfolded. Then she said she heard the sweetest words ever spoken "A man softly touched her arm and said....American here to take you home". He then asked if she could walk and she said she didnt think so and he said just hold on, Picked her up like a feather and carried her the whole way.

I don’t see anything from the 169th SOAR so it’s not close to popping off yet - or they aren’t saying they are there.

So you support invasion of Venezuela? I’m fine with striking drug boats but if we invade Venezuela with the goal of regime change that goes against the America First agenda

LOL at anyone that thinks freaking Venezuela will fight us.

Strangle Venezuelan bootleg oil and Maduro will be gone soon enough.

this is the plan as I interpret all these recent maneuvers.

I would hope we could bring back the rightful winner of their last election as the "real" leader. She seems to be a solid USA ally.

It’s always been about regime change.

in this case do you object to trying to oust the one who usurped the last election??

I wish there had been a higher power to do that favor for US after the theft of the 2020 election. We would be in a much better place now - MUCH BETTER place.

No oil, No money, No Maduro! Freeze his assets. No money, No host country going to take him. Life is cruel.

Folks miss the bigger picture. This is about regaining control or influence in Central and South America and eliminating/reducing Chinese influence in our hemisphere. It started with Trumps attention to the Panama Canal.

Also, Venezuela is allowing Islamic terrorists to train on Margarita Island and is friendly with Iran, add to that the narco terrorists and the huge quantities of natural resources in Venezuela.
We'd be stupid to sit back and let China have it by using its relationship with a dictator that has a US bounty on him totaling 50 million dollars
