    What do you mean Venezuela’s new president? I haven’t heard of an election happening in Venezuela and the US, despite their weirdly overconfident (even by their standard) claims that they have Venezuela in their grip, aren’t remotely in a position to pick a puppet president to rule the country.

    Is this actually a thing or is that yet an other of the " We already won"-pilled articles that keep being published since Maduro’s kidnapping for some obscure reason I don’t get?

              Yes, keep that in mind as well. Latin America has a history with the CIA, so even drawing any kind of connection to her with the CIA is enough to cost her support amongst the population. Even if the connection is false, or distant from her. I don’t know how trustworthy this source is, and I also don’t have a reason to not trust them. But it could very well be a story planted by the CIA to get the story out there, and make her lose support.

    Probably had to do with the sanctions and espionage done by Obama

    Yesterday a CBS host was mad arguing with Marco asking why they didn’t kidnap more members of Venezuela’s government

    From what I gathered from this article, I’d say the 500k “gift” to Trump’s first inauguration was a gambit, and one that failed. But that’s politics, so I think it’s really fucking funny how Fortune tries to make it look like she’s an idiot.

    In general, the article made me like her a lot more than I did before. Let’s go Delcy meow-bounce

    My opinion is that she was in on it the whole time, the US needed a PSUV heavyweight to make their invasion as frictionless as possible and possibly create a split in the party
