      Trump has claimed to have Maduro as a hostage. Any news updates should be posted underneath this comment for visibility purposes.

        Think they’ll hold him for more than the 47hrs they held Chavez? I bet Maduro is out in 30, not because I think Maduro is more bad ass than Chavez just because I think usa is weaker than it was back then.

          Don’t forget that the empire is more unhinged now, so they could possibly even kill him as a show (but that would be the end of empire 100%)

              They hanged Saddam and bragged about it (obviously not the same, Maduro’s so much better), but that depends how insane Trump’s looking.

      Thing is, will it? The Venezuelan state still seems to be running itself, with vice president and ministers still occupying their posts. Maduro himself isn’t some embodiment of PSUV and the party can continue existing and governing without him.

      Simply kidnapping Maduro without leaving behind boots on ground does very little besides intimidation. That can work for extracting concessions, but not for ruling a country. Either the rumoured second attack is coming soon or this might be negotiation tactics for full privatisation of the oil but leaving the government be.

        I agree, they want to start some sort of civil war by capturing Maduro and running a parallel goverment likely with the nobel prize witch.

      When I heard that interview of Machado saying “he has to go”, I had memories of every single time I heard that phrase about Assad. I thought it was impossible then, and I thought it was impossible for Maduro, now I don’t believe any anti imperialist country is safe. Not Yemen, not Iran, not even Russia at this point. The Empire is still this capable and they’ve shown it again.

    Today feels like living in a completely insane alternate reality. Kidnapping a foreign president and charging him on crimes based on another country’s laws is just insane beyond words. And all western leaders are having piss luke warm reactions. I don’t care anymore.

      “Will not negotiate” is good to see. Empire cannot be negotiated with, you must use force to defend yourself from it, it’s the only way

      I’ve been extremely busy for this last year. I almost never even get a chance to long in. But logged in tonight just to say this:

      DEATH TO AMERIKKKA. Glass that Fourth Reich shithole.

      Peace will never be possible as long as the Great Satan exists.

      Amerikkka is an existential threat to the world and must be dealt with accordingly.

      Sorry for having no chill. I can’t take this shit anymore.

    Practice proper discipline. Don’t share unsubstantiated news, don’t believe unconfirmed reports. 10 Twitter accounts reposting the exact same video is not confirmation of events.

    Don’t trust the enemy to tell you what’s happening, wait for confirmation from blue side. In a revolutionary situation we carry on as usual and wait for our side to give the go-ahead on how to react. Practice it.

    You can tell the US severely crossed some lines here by seeing 0 people supporting this. Like, I haven’t seen a supportive message of these strikes anywhere. Instagram, Reddit, the news, nowhere.

      even r/conservative on reddit, the vast majority seem to be against it. That might change though once the propaganda goes on overdrive e.g. Fox News.

      Wasn’t less than half of America supportive of the fishing boat murders? Not out of a sense of anti imperialism, but because they saw it as an obvious distraction from Epstein and prices.
