Gonna pin this thread for now to prevent multiple posts
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%)
I absolutely wouldn’t put it past this administration to Livestream a public hanging
They hanged Saddam and bragged about it (obviously not the same, Maduro’s so much better), but that depends how insane Trump’s looking.
Fuck Trump and fuck the White House for this.
I hate how everything goes America’s way so easily
For the most part, it doesn’t. They can kill civilians but their coup attempts have failed and will fail. The US empire is crumbling and this is only going to speed it up.
Trump said the US will run Venezuela for the coming time. The US has today couped a country.
Again
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.
Vp is nowhere to be found and trump claims vp has been sworn in to replace maduro
Delcy Rodriguez seems alive and well, and not enthused with collaboration with the US.
I wouldn’t trust Rubio until any evidence comes out of Venezuela. There’s no official confirmation of her being sworn in as president (official outlets still refer to her as vice president, which is how it legally works) and she’s still a proponent of Chavismo. At any rate, even if she turns coat there’ll at least be a power struggle with PSUV, specially with the MoD announcing full scale mobilisations.
So, did they really managed their coup? Like the whole hope is lost, and all the build up was for nothing? (Like all the equipment that were bought, all the people, etc).
Im having a mental breakdown over this circus of the world and i wanna hear someone killing imperialism along with its soldiers
The US will not say anything that remotely seems like a weakness so take with a grain of salt whatever their parrots in suits say.
So, the VP was part of the coup and is going to sell out the country or what does that mean?
Trump can claim whatever he likes, he is not the arbitor of truth.
And Iran’s nuclear program was “obliterated.”
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.
Iran feels like it’s only a matter of time.
Death to America
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.
🇻🇪WHAT DO WE KNOW SO FAR ABOUT THE EVENTS IN VENEZUELA?
🔺At 2:00 a.m. (local time in Venezuela), air strikes were reported against targets in Fuerte Tiuna (military headquarters), Cuartel de la Montaña (museum, Hugo Chávez mausoleum), La Carlota Airfield (downtown Caracas), Puerto de la Guaira, Higuerote Airport (east of Caracas), and the Navy Headquarters in La Guaira.
‼️There are no reports of damage or casualties so far.
Thank you for the update, comrade. Stay safe!
Cuartel de la Montaña (museum, Hugo Chávez mausoleum),
fucking disgusting ghoul scum. How fucking pathetic.
And how fucking stupid? If they want to forment a civil war you don’t do that by attacking a popular leader’s tomb. All that is doing is making the people who already are on america’s side happy.
That could be the point. If things get ugly on the ground in Venezuela it just gives the US further context for escalation after escalation
My question with all these on the nose things is if it gives people the ability to deflect and say trump is russia/china asset because only they would do this?
No. Trump is hitting Venezuela because they are friendly to Russia and China. He wants all the oil and to not have to pay the prices that China will pay for it. When Venezuela was socialist but mostly sold usa the oil there was no problem but now that other nations are interested and the price is getting too high, so Chevron is unhappy.
What resources can I get to in order to follow closely? I wasn’t even an ML when Al-Aqsa Flood happened, I’m not sitting back and watching on this shit.
https://www.telesurenglish.net/ is a good source. Also I will try to publish stuff translated to English in this thread as well as updates.
I can hardly image what a depraved nazi fuck you would have to be to bomb Hugo Chavez’s mausoleum. No analyst is going to suggest that will weaken the resolve or morale of the people. May it backfire in ways that lead to the death of many Fourth Reich soldiers.
Unlimited death to Yankeeland. Fucking shitheads.
This is vile, I want to apologize to the whole world except isn’treal. I am ashamed of my country.
There’s not a moment I’ve been politically literate that I haven’t been deeply disgusted about the nation I was arbitrary born in.
From Venezuela. It is a confirmed attack from the USA. I can’t translate this at the moment but I will leave it here.
COMUNICADO REPÚBLICA BOLIVARIANA DE VENEZUELA.
La República Bolivariana de Venezuela rechaza, repudia y denuncia ante la comunidad internacional la gravísima agresión militar perpetrada por el Gobierno actual de los Estados Unidosde América contra territorio y población venezolanos en las localidades civiles y militares de la ciudad de Caracas, capital de la República, y los estados Miranda, Aragua y La Guaira. Este acto constituye una violación flagrante de la Carta de las Naciones Unidas, especialmente de sus artículos 1 y 2, que consagran el respeto a la soberanía, la igualdad jurídica de los Estados y la prohibición del uso de la fuerza. Tal agresión amenaza la paz y estabilidad internacional, concretamente de América Latina y el Caribe, y pone en grave riesgo la vida de millones de personas.
El objetivo de este ataque no es otro que apoderarse de los recursos estratégicos de Venezuela, en particular de su petróleo y minerales, intentando quebrar por la fuerza la independencia política de la Nación. No lo lograrán. Tras más de doscientos años de independencia, el pueblo y su Gobierno legítimo se mantienen firmes en defensa de la soberanía y del derecho inalienable de decidir su destino. El intento de imponer una guerra colonial para destruir la forma republicana de gobierno y forzar un “cambio de régimen”, en alianza con la oligarquía fascista fracasará como todos los intentos anteriores.
Desde 1811, Venezuela ha enfrentado y vencido imperios. Cuando en 1902 potencias extranjeras bombardearon nuestras costas, el Presidente Cipriano Castro proclamó: “La planta insolente del extranjero ha profanado el sagrado suelo de la Patria.” Hoy, con la moral de Bolívar, Miranda y nuestros libertadores, el pueblo venezolano se alza nuevamente para defender su independencia ante la agresión imperial.Pueblo a la calle.
El Gobierno Bolivariano llama a todas las fuerzas sociales y políticas del país a activar los planes de movilización y repudiar este ataque imperialista. El pueblo de Venezuela y su Fuerza Armada Nacional Bolivariana, en perfecta fusión popular-militar-policial, se encuentran desplegados para garantizar la soberanía y la paz. Simultáneamente, la Diplomacia Bolivariana de Paz elevará las correspondientes denuncias ante el Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU, el Secretario General de dicha organización, la CELAC y el MNOAL, exigiendo la condena y rendición de cuentas del Gobierno estadounidense.
El Presidente Nicolás Maduro ha dispuesto todos los planes de defensa nacional para ser implementados en el momento y circunstancias adecuadas, en estricto apego a lo previsto en la Constitución de la República Bolivariana de Venezuela, la Ley Orgánica sobre Estados de Excepción y la Ley Orgánica de Seguridad de la Nación.
En este sentido, el Presidente Nicolás Maduro ha firmado y ordenando la implementación del Decreto que declara el estado de Conmoción Exterior en todo el territorio nacional, para proteger los derechos de la población, el funcionamiento pleno de las instituciones republicanas y pasar de inmediato a la lucha armada. Todo el país debe activarse para derrotar esta agresión imperialista.
Del mismo modo ha ordenado el inmediato despliegue del Comando para la Defensa Integral de la Nación y de los Órganos de Dirección para la Defensa Integral en todos los estados y municipios del país.
En estricto apego al artículo 51 de la Carta de las Naciones Unidas, Venezuela se reserva el derecho a ejercer la legítima defensa para proteger a su pueblo, su territorio y su independencia. Convocamos a los pueblos y gobiernos de América Latina, el Caribe y el mundo a movilizarse en solidaridad activa frente a esta agresión imperial.
Como señaló el Comandante Supremo Hugo Chávez Frías “ante cualquier circunstancia de nuevas dificultades, del tamaño que fueren, la respuesta de todos y de todas los patriotas…es unidad, lucha, batalla y victoria”.
Caracas, 3 de enero de 2025Translation (machine):
From Venezuela. This is a confirmed attack from the USA. I can’t translate this at the moment but I will leave it here. COMMUNIQUÉ OF THE BOLIVARIAN REPUBLIC OF VENEZUELA.
The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela rejects, repudiates, and denounces before the international community the extremely serious military aggression perpetrated by the current Government of the United States of America against Venezuelan territory and population in the civilian and military areas of the city of Caracas, capital of the Republic, and the states of Miranda, Aragua, and La Guaira. This act constitutes a flagrant violation of the United Nations Charter, especially Articles 1 and 2, which enshrine respect for sovereignty, the legal equality of States, and the prohibition of the use of force. Such aggression threatens international peace and stability, specifically in Latin America and the Caribbean, and places the lives of millions of people at grave risk. The objective of this attack is none other than to seize Venezuela’s strategic resources, particularly its oil and minerals, attempting to forcibly break the political independence of the Nation. They will not succeed. After more than two hundred years of independence, the people and their legitimate Government remain firm in defense of sovereignty and the inalienable right to decide their own destiny. The attempt to impose a colonial war to destroy the republican form of government and force a “regime change,” in alliance with the fascist oligarchy, will fail as all previous attempts have failed. Since 1811, Venezuela has faced and defeated empires. When in 1902 foreign powers bombed our coasts, President Cipriano Castro proclaimed: “The insolent foot of the foreigner has profaned the sacred soil of the Homeland.” Today, with the moral strength of Bolívar, Miranda, and our liberators, the Venezuelan people rise again to defend their independence against imperial aggression. People to the streets! The Bolivarian Government calls on all social and political forces in the country to activate mobilization plans and repudiate this imperialist attack. The Venezuelan people and their Bolivarian National Armed Forces, in perfect popular-military-police unity, are deployed to guarantee sovereignty and peace. Simultaneously, the Bolivarian Diplomacy of Peace will file the corresponding complaints before the UN Security Council, the Secretary-General of that organization, CELAC, and the Non-Aligned Movement, demanding condemnation and accountability from the U.S. government. President Nicolás Maduro has ordered all national defense plans to be implemented at the appropriate time and under the appropriate circumstances, in strict accordance with the provisions of the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, the Organic Law on States of Exception, and the Organic Law on National Security. In this regard, President Nicolás Maduro has signed and ordered the implementation of the Decree declaring a state of External Commotion throughout the national territory, to protect the rights of the population, the full functioning of republican institutions, and to immediately engage in armed struggle. The entire country must be activated to defeat this imperialist aggression. He has also ordered the immediate deployment of the Command for the Comprehensive Defense of the Nation and the Directorate Bodies for Comprehensive Defense in all states and municipalities of the country. In strict accordance with Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, Venezuela reserves the right to exercise legitimate self-defense to protect its people, its territory, and its independence. We call upon the peoples and governments of Latin America, the Caribbean, and the world to mobilize in active solidarity against this imperialist aggression. As Supreme Commander Hugo Chávez Frías stated, “in the face of any new difficulties, no matter how great, the response of all patriots…is unity, struggle, battle, and victory.” Caracas, January 3, 2025
Colombian President Gustavo Petro:
“The pedophile clan wants to destroy our democracy. To prevent the Epstein list from being made public, they are sending military ships to kill fishermen and threatening our neighbor (Venezuela - Ed…) with invasion for its oil,” Petro stated.
Yesterday, Trump urged the Colombian president to “watch his back”.
My heart has dropped seeing some of the footage. I knew it was coming but had some hope we could continue down Nothing Ever Happensville. The US is such a deeply evil country.
fuck the us
Yeah, the US definitely just invaded Venezuela, and I’m ready for a riot.
No matter how many times I say this, it’s not enough. Death to the United States!
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.
Step-father of mine was spouting some bullshit about “how they stole basically stole our shit”. He’s a petite-bourgeois so, it’s not surprising but there is at least three people if you include my uncles too, lol.
Head over to vzla reddit right wingers are loving it
It’s what astroturfers do, yeah.
Of course the Eglin AFB crowd are loving it, we’re talking non feds here
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.
MARG BAR AM(E)RIKA
Someone add the burning US flag emote to lemmygrad.
Why don’t I have that?
Oooh, hell yeah
As well as burning Wikipedia globe logo
