So it seems, venezuelan hierarchy was bought before maduro was apprehended.

[syed putra]

The military were told to stand down and give US forces right of way. Of course some monetary benefit was promised. Or delivered. Plus it comes with power after that.

 

[eatshitndie]

rescue and escape of chiobu oppo prez candidate was a prelude. it was to ensure her safety. with her in protective custody, maduro’s options were limited and days got numbered. venezuelan generals got bribed and promised big pay day, and they turned against maduro. now chiobu will return, and these same generals will have to work with her. in a short while it will lead to a junta-cunta coalition gov in venezuela. junta-cunta coalitions don’t stay long. thighland was one sexample.

I dont think current maduro hierarchy willingly will allow the lady to be in power. They too want to be president.

They may apply this to iran now that mossad got protestors on the streets.
But this formula was applied to syria and Libya and that did not work very well.
And in iraq, the violent rogue IS rebellion was only quelled after i presume US started to pay the promised dues to the leaders. Who now run Syria.

Lets see what other south american nation reaction will be like.
Peru with its china port and railways.
Plus trans continental Peru to Brazil railway being planned.

Money is usually needed to grease the wheels of a revolution and in this case, to implement a 300 billion barrels business deal. The US will surely benefit from it, but not as much as Trump will.

China has commercial interests in latin america. It's all about business, infrastructure and trade. Nothing to be alarmed about. It's only the fucking americans who love to slap the communist label on everything china, paint china as THE enemy. China is not interested to convert countries to communism, it merely wants to do business.

Come to think of it, it is not the communist ideology that the US (and europe) fear, it's the might of China they fear. And china just happens to be communist. Hence more convenient to frame it as opposing/conflicting political ideologies, rather than losing face by losing to "inferior chinks". But it's too late now, the dragon has been let out of the bottle!

Trump is most certainly the best of the best. Venezuela has been liberated, the drug cartel that ran the country will soon be exterminated and the world will be a safer place all thanks to Trump.

they too will be incarcerated and thrown into jail to be manhandled by horny niggers in their cell.

It’s all about oil and the petrodollar. Last ditch attempt by a falling empire.

Lol all the china apologists getting their panties in a bunch.

This is the monroe doctrine at work. China and Russia better get the fuck out of the western hemisphere. The 9 dash lines is child's play compared to this.

You think the Fujian carrier is big fuck? Think again. It's a floating coffin.

The Jews have done that multiple times. They will change the regime when their puppets doesn’t deemed fit to their agenda

Not the smartest move by the US. When Trump breaks all the rules and invade another sovereign country illegally, it sets the stage for China to do the same to Taiwan. Basically Trump is saying: might is right, and the hell to rules-based world order.

Continue pushing the boundaries further and Trump may be impeached.

Venezuela

WASHINGTON – US President Donald Trump said on Jan 3 he was putting Venezuela under temporary American control after the United States captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in an audacious raid and whisked him to New York to face drug-trafficking charges.

“We will run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition”, Mr Trump said during a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. “We can’t take a chance that someone else takes over Venezuela who doesn’t have the interests of Venezuelans in mind.”

Mr Trump said as part of the takeover, major US oil companies would move into Venezuela, which has the world’s largest oil reserves, and refurbish badly degraded oil infrastructure, a process experts said could take years.


Critics said his focus on oil at the press conference raised questions about his administration’s efforts to frame the capture of Mr Maduro and a series of deadly missile attacks on alleged drug boats as a law enforcement operation aimed at choking off drug shipments to the US.

As part of the dramatic overnight operation that knocked out electricity in parts of Caracas and included strikes on military installations,

US Special Forces captured Mr Maduro

in or near one of his safe houses, Mr Trump said.


Mr Maduro and his wife, Ms Cilia Flores, were transported to a US Navy ship offshore before being flown to the US on the evening of Jan 3.

Thus comes back to the question. Who actually runs the US.
As trump was negotiating with zelensky, cia or mi6 attempted to assassinate putin at his house. Just like how iran and Hezbollah negotiators were killed while negotiating with US and israel.
And while netanyahu and trump was negotiating about attack on iran, protestors and rioters suddenly emerge in tehran.

Why China is not popular in the world is because it cannot behave like what America did: Topple other country's president with force. Imagine if Phillipine and Japan is next to America and causing a lot of disturbances in the sea, these two countries President and Prime Minister would be handcuffed and dragged to America for charges. China could do the same now, but it didn't

Singapore is kow-towing to America because the latter is willing to be a police and a violent force that benefit this tiny island. Singapore knew China is not willing to do the same to protect us. Thus, Singapore became very pro-America which China is still grasping to understand.

venezuela is a 20 year old project and first time coup on hugo Chavez failed as he was popular.
Maduro cannot match hugo chavez in popularity so its easier to depose. Plus all that CIA contacts made during that period.
It will be interesting to see who takes over. In syria, it was CIA guy Instead of US state department who financed another group.
