All types of media have been censored by the government, no one can stand up and talk freely without risking jail, torture, forced disappearance, etc. Anyone inside lives with fear, and anyone outside knows that they can’t step back into their country. People are being detained in the literal airport and arrested/kidnapped. Everyone needs to realize that what’s going on in venezuela is not a Left/Right type of difference. The country is being held captive by #Maduro and his party. Any attempt to remove him becomes a silver lining for all #Venezuelans." #fascism #corrupt #corruption #terrorism #statesponsoredterrorism #statesanctionedterrorism https://archive.is/RUE7E "I am #Venezuelan. 90% of us want a full-throttle aggro-crank on the pressure gauge. Both the old "sternly worded sanctions" and conventional diplomacy have been as effective as politely asking a tapeworm to spare your Hot Pocket. There will be no war with Venezuela for the sole reason that the Maduro regime lacks any sort of military capacity. "And why should we care about #Venezuela?" You might ask. Well, since the Hugo #Chavez years my country has become the safe house for everything from #Hamas and #Hezbollah, under the blessing of #Russia and #China, pumped to the eyeballs with #Cuban [#Cuba] intelligence. Even if Maduro is an illegitimate president leading a narco-tyranny, drugs could be the least of the US' problems. Having a terrorist safe haven in their own backyard, is. "Why haven't Venezuelans done anything about that", we have done everything. Unarmed protests became meat grinders under Maduro's paramilitary forces. Elections have been rigged since the early 2000s. We have been murdered, disappeared and exiled. We have literally nothing left to lose at this point. "But can't you see that the US government is after your oil", If it was up to me, help us get rid of Maduro, help us secure the legitimate government, and I'd give the US 50% of whatever is in our soil for 20 years. I'm sure many other #Venezuelans feel like this. China and Russia are not going to do much. They'll look the other way. They have their own troubles and Venezuela is no longer as useful as it used to be. Just a reminder that whoever uses the "regime change" words is wrong. 70% of us already chose Edmundo González #Urrutia as president in 2024. #Maduro simply stole the elections and won't concede. But since these criminals control everything, from the military, the judicial system, the electoral system, the national guard and literally every other institution, we have no more options left. So yes, I approve the ship blockade and vaporizing any drug boats with overkill rigor. This is the only language that these bastards understand." https://archive.is/mlRbA
