I feel like I've entered some kind of Twilight Zone. On one hand saying I don't like the Trump Administration would be an understatement but on the other hand from what I understand the president of Venezuela is a dictator who ate on TV while his people starved[0] a few years ago.
Maduro sucks, yet stealing him then announcing to the world that your principal goal is to commercialize Venezuela’s natural resources is very stupid.
Will be hilarious if incompetent MAGA lawyers can’t fill out the paperwork properly or, I don’t know, someone raises a defense of selective and vindictive prosecution based on POTUS’s own statements both before and after the arrest, talking about seizing their oil.
I don't understand how that is weird. For some reason people have entered this point of view that if you dislike someone you suddenly need to dislike everything they do.
It's perfectly normal for a party you dislike to do something you like and also perfectly normal for a party you like to do something you dislike.
I'm not defending Maduro, but people forget that one of the reasons Venezuela was poor was because of US sanctions.
Sanctions are meant to make the people poor in the hope that they will rise up and topple the regime of sanctioned country. No need for US military operations.
