    Dear American libs: Think about what you’ve been saying about Russians and please start saying all of those about yourselves. Think about how much you wished every Russian to suffer and it’s only fair to wish the exact same amount for yourself.

    Remember how little you were willing to distinguish between the people and the government and I better not see you give any more leeway to your own country.

    I don’t want to hear any “but i don’t support it” bullshit out of you after the vitriol you spewed about the Russian ethnicity and culture using the Ukraine war as your cover while getting all high and mighty about not being racist. You deserve as much empathy and sympathy as you give to others.

    And don’t forget to carry seeds in your pockets so useful things grow out of you when you die :)

      Just popped in at a spot where the rep from Argentina gave their full support for the kidnapping. Despicable.

        I’m still trying to work my way through the morass of the OHCHR report that is the source of the claims of “thousands murdered by the regime”, and one of the more curious things is that it was published under the guidance of Michelle Bachelet, former president of Chile and certainly not someone I would have imagined would publish a report with such paper thin backing.

    Ah the honorable BBC.
    Let’s also give recognition to the regime press doing their part with fake news trying to create the illusion the country is revolting and the government has fled:

    https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/venezuela-vice-president-rodriguez-russia-four-sources-say-2026-01-03/

    Their attempt FAILED. No army or popular support, not enough traitors.
    Tone-deaf americans wishful thinking.
    As usual there is no follow up, no long term plan or vision.

    The US will not ‘run the country’ just bcs they kidnapped 2 people.
    They failed in Iran and other places with their vulgar murders of leaders, simply hoping the locals would do the work for them.
    Never do they learn from their mistakes.
    Thoughtless violence as the last resort to save their dying empire is all they have.
    It invariably backfires.

    They only have shown the world nothing is too low for them and exposed what countries are vassals and hypocrites not even condemning these acts. Or even applauding them, like the regimes of Argentina, Equador, Italy and ukraine

      If anything positive might come out of such a fucked-up level of open terrorism. I hope that it not only leads to the resolve of the people of Venezuelan people standing firm. And all of Central and South American nations to unite in mutual defense. Might not lead to a wave of jumping all-in on socialism/communism, but they all have suffered under the boot of the USA. Any nation that keeps placing USA interests above their own sovereignty only keeps things like this happening.

      The right-wing news outlets are already pushing for Cuba to be next. Literally nations that their talking points about “suffering under communist dictatorships” only happen because the USA is allowed to control how other nations can/can’t trade with them. And any USA citizen and politician that can’t wake the fuck up continue to have the blood of all other nations on our hands. This isn’t just about Venezuela, it is also a massive push to further keep attention away from the active genocide that never stopped in Palestine.

      Propaganda is a hell of a drug. Nearly half of the country is being brainwashed by fascist propaganda. Your cho of word is spot on. It is truly insanity.

    Please report any pro-US-empire comments so we can ban them ASAP.

    We aren’t going to let people come into this space and justify US crimes like kidnapping heads of state, murdering innocent people, and starting wars based on lies.

      Captured is for people at war. Kidnapped is the right term for what happened here.

    Maduro might be an idiot, but the press needs to be vigilant here.

    “What right does the US have to do this?”

    “So other countries can do this to the US for similar reasons and not expect repercussions?”

      Kidnapping of a head of state is completely illegal, and south american countries should be uniting and mobilizing for coming wars with the US to prevent similar intrigues in their own countries.

        They don’t want to, they could do that easily.
        He is not liked as it is by ukrainians, and he would be replaced by the fascist Zalushny.
        Last year Zelenski gave medals to troops and Russia waited until he left to strike the building.
        They know exactly where he is and when.

    Viva Maduro. The US Empire is kidnapping a democratically elected president and his family in order to gain ownership of Venezuelan oil fields. The vassals in Europe only care that their master needs consent manufacturing, but the good working people around the world can see right through this naked terrorism and those that support it.

    May the empire and its vassals fall.
