Venezuelans who come to the US tend to be wealthier, in order to be able to get here, and have enough issues with their country in order to leave, issues that they will usually blame on the leadership.
None of this is to say Maduro has majority support, he doesn’t by most accounts, or that they don’t represent a sizable chunk of Venezuelans who don’t like Maduro, but that his support isn’t as non-existent over there as it is here.
It’d be like if Trump took over the US and you only got your views on what Americans think from expat communities in Canada. They would probably cheer his death, even if it was by a foreign empire, but that wouldn’t be representative of average Americans who probably wouldn’t like the foreign intervention, even if they don’t like Trump.
Maduro and Trump are friends
Maduro gets to escape his country and save face instead of being assassinated or executed.
Trump gets to manufacture a conflict so he can start martial law and become a dictator, and to distract from us learning he came inside little girls.
The only thing this is about is Trump getting PERSONAL control of the oil, so he can be as wealthy as his friends the Saudis.
I don’t know about this. He’s gotta know that it’s incredibly unlikely that he’ll live to see any profits from Venezuelan oil. It’ll take way longer than he’s got left to actually make a sizable amount of money from it.
I don’t know why anyone is buying that propaganda. They’ve been stopping huge oil tankers filled with Venezuelan oil. They’re producing enough oil that we wanted it, and plenty of other countries are pissed that we’re taking it from them.
Of course Trump only cares about the oil. Has everyone been asleep for the last decade?
Jesus this is a bad take
80 people were killed, cities were bombed, and we’ve got shits on here doing “it was an inside job, aktuly”
Fucking vile.
Trump doesn’t have any friends, and by that I mean his severe narcissism prevents his brain from ever being able to form healthy two-way personal relationships with anyone. In his mind, everyone else exists solely to service or benefit him, even those in his own family. He desperately wants to impress those he sees as powerful, like Kim, Erdoğan, and Putin, so he does things that he thinks will make them like him.
Him and Maduro have sucked each other’s dicks in speeches plenty.
He’s a dictator Trump is close with. That’s who Trump’s friends are
