    So you had to fudge Kuwait to fit it…otherwise you had to go back to the 1940’s? Not the flex you think it is dawg.

    "Few are celebrating" Of course not, this is a country that disappears dissidents! There's a reason no one wants to give their real names.


    I would be very hesitant to say anything definitive about majority opinion because a lot of people will be keeping quiet.


    Do you have an example of "American Regime Change" where the locals hailed the US as benevolent saviours?

    Don't let conservatives gaslight you into thinking that Venzuelans on the whole support this. It's not true.

    I would expect the people supportive of the regime to be the ones decrying things in the streets, because in authoritarian regimes, loudly celebrating would be risky.


    Obviously a range of opinions exist. I expect celebrating to be easier outside the country, rallying in support of Maduro would be easier inside the country. Seems like a good number of people are cautiously on board insofar as they are glad to see Maduro gone even knowing by itself it won't necessarily mean much change by itself.


    It felt like (and I could be wrong) that they were in the streets decrying this as they may not like Maduro, but "American Regime Change" has a disastrous history that has mostly left countries they do it in, in much more dire straights than they were before...so they may not like their guy, but they know that US involvement means the same thing it meant in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan...occupation, and insurgency, and blood, and war....leaving them eventually as a destitute country while the US empire walks away with their resources and wealth. All they needed to do was look at history.

    So yeah, you can see how the conflict is there...was Maduro the best thing for them? No. Are Trump and the Americans better? Perhaps in the short term...but not in the long one....FFS he's talking about installing Stephen Miller there to run the show...If they think that this'll all happen without an eventual blood-soaked insurgency inside Venezuela, they have not thought this through.

    1. He will claims he's going to liberate Venezuela (and always be skeptical of when the USA does Regime Change for liberation, as it usually has imperialistic reasons, not altruistic humanitarian ones), and he will install Maria Marchado as the president (formerly excommunicated from all political life previously, but she's going to serve a purpose.
    2. Marchado will give the oil rights back to...you guessed it...Exxon, at something like 80% to them, and 20% back to the people...a new power is installed.


    Her name is Machado, not Marchado.


    Okay. Feel good about correcting me?


    More to the point though---do you still predict that Trump will install Machado as "president"? His response when asked about her was, "She's a very nice woman, but she doesn't have the respect within the country". Granted,


    Yeah, he's never said one thing and done another in his life...oh wait. He hated Elon Musk, until he didn't, and then hated him freshly again later. Are we operating on the notion that Trump is not a mercurial POS who will change his opinion almost hourly?
