    Again you want to stop the lying just have someone stand next to these morons with a giant shovel or tire iron. When they lie or sidestep the question just nail them right in the face repeatedly.

    Or have reporters who have the balls to ask them if they know how ridiculous they sound when they say stupid shit

    It's okay, though. I'm sure that the incoming TrumpCo. regime will be wise stewards of Venezuela's resources, will use them to benefit the Venezuelan people, and will not just funnel them off to a small crowd of insiders and family members.

    The people who would be in charge of it seem incapable of articulating it, when asked repeatedly to do so.

    I mean, you can’t just come out and tell the rubes

    As I mentioned above, populist authoritarianism is populist authoritarianism. The difference between “left” or “right” is insignificant. Our country is cheering on what we just took out.

    Yep. I guess soccer spray has bowed out, but the reason I mentioned “socialism” coming to Venezuela in the mid 70’s in response to his post is that the people did well until the late 90’s, when an autocratic demagogue was elected, consolidated power in the executive, and dismantled all institutions and killed democracy, ultimately leaving them in a famine. Trump is following tha playbook to the letter. Yet people like soccer spray think it’s “socialism” that is the problem

    Oh and their prosperity continued for another 12 to 15 years after Chavez came to power. He didn’t siphon money into his personal coffers like most autocrats but is family and inner circle were worth between 15 and 30B when he died.

    Venezuela GDP was around 550 B in 2013 when it crashed and around 260 when he died.

    Shoulda sung YMCA and some Kid Rock shit, and he’d not only still be in power, but would be in on some Trump crypto scam as well.

    The more I think about I think this is going to go pretty smoothly in terms of power transfer. All the right people in the remaining govt as well as the opposition, and the military have been bought off in the past several weeks.

    The US “contractors” are going to use taxpayer money to rebuild the infrastructure and get the oil flowing. The new ruling class in Venezuela will get rich, TrumpCo will get richer. The Venezuelan people may see a little bump from subsistence but their lives won’t be much different (and it’s the best case scenario for them)

    Before the socialists took over, ending democracy, and wrecking the oil industry, Venezuela was considered one of the most stable and prosperous democracies in Latin America. Why wouldn't they have a chance to return to that?

    Venezuela nationalized the oil industry in the mid 70’s 🧐

  7. If he was asked to take less money to stay and or told to expect less playing time, he could easily spin that as staying being “out of his control”

    It’s the new reality. These guys are all mercenaries

    No, I don’t have my head in my ass. Killers are killers. Motivation is irrelevant to their victims. Whether it’s to please their sky daddy or to suppress a populace it’s evil.

    Forget the fact that the sole motivation for this coup is to further enrich Trump and his cronies, this is going to cost US taxpayers around a trillion dollars, and the only material change in Venezuela itself is the country’s wealth will flow to the US oligarchs rather than Russia and China.

    Oh, and before American oil companies go in there, we probably should, and I'm just spitballin' here, we can workshop the details later on, but I think we should probably secure the country first. We start sending in oilfield workers and engineers without, I dunno, having boots on the ground, well I don't think it will end well.

    And that's putting aside the fact that it's not really our business to help companies deal with really bad decisions on where they invested in the first place.

    All I see is someone talking Mexican and a woke sign language interpreter. How can anyone know what’s being said

    OK, so I get that following the law is not the administration’s jam. But how is ANY of this even remotely legal? We are just blowing through stop signs and red lights, and flipping the bird to the world in the process. It is not a “flex” to topple a regime. It is criminal.
