So yes, Maduro was a dictator

And he was allied with Putin and Iran, and may have stolen an election…

That’s not what bothers me.

What bothers me is that every time the US has tried to force a regime change in another country, things have gotten worse. Much worse. This will be no different.

Trump: "We're gonna run the place."

How many times were the words "oil" and "wealth" spoken?....never once the words "election" or "democracy."

How long will Trump "run the place?"

Venezuela had an election and it was stolen by Maduro. Edmundo González, who won the election, is being ignored by Trump. The Nobel Prize winner, María Corina Machado is also being ignored.

There seems to be no real plan....except for protecting the oil.

Will Trump offer to make them the 51st state?

@JSul3 To be fair there is zero evidence Gonzalez won. His party just declared themselves the winners.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Where's the evidence Maduro won the election?

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow So should there not be a new election so the people can decide?

Who do you choose? Rubio....Don Jr ...????

@JSul3 The election was certified by the Venezuelan electoral body and the judiciary.

And you have it backwards.

The person claiming it was fraudulent is the person who needs to provide evidence. Not the other way around.

By your logic Trump should have been handed the 2020 election.

@JSul3 They already had an election. Whether the American government approves of the results is completely irrelevant.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow If that's true, why are people in VZ celebrating Maduro's exit!?

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@JSul3 Again another claim with zero evidence.

And even if True. If a leader is removed from any country you could find someone celebrating.

That is the most ridiculous justification yet.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Recall that many celebrated the removal of Saddam in Iraq.

How did that turn out?

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@JSul3 yeah 20 years of pointless bloodshed.
