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.
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?
