      For all the people that agrees with the intervention, let me ask this: why do we still have elections in our countries? We should just let Trump choose our governments, give them all our natural resources and just bend the knee. Because let’s just be clear, they are doing this regime changes everywhere, exchanging their military power for resources. And then they complain about immigrants? They are the ones creating the caos in all these countries. Of course Maduro was a dictator but no one gave the police of the world badge to Trump.

      France is amongst the only few countries in Europe which has some level of Sovereignty and independence in their foreign policy

      A lot of apologists here but it’s just like another country going in, bombing Washington and kidnapping Thump and Melania because he’s a pedo and a rapist.

      You can’t enforce your laws in other countries unless you do it unlawfully.

      There was no immediate threat posed to the US, and the executive conducted military operations without congressional approval.

      Regardless of the ends, we have a means that exists to ensure that actions taken are lawful and appropriate. What just happened is a slippery slope for diplomacy and foreign relations, and will almost certainly be exploited by others with colonial ambitions.

      Without knowing much about the specifics of why the US took out Maduro, my first reaction is that this further undermines international efforts to stop Russia, Israel, and other states, recklessly bombing and killing their neighbours. War crimes can be justified with a shrug and a “look what the US did to Venezuela”

      After all the failed lies and the propaganda. After they had to call in a CIA favor. After their Islamic militants raped and videotaped Gaddafi with a broomstick in the middle of a dirt road. Theyre gonna critique 7 precision strikes and a surrender on an airplane to stand trial in NY? Man, talk about gall, France.

      Amazing geology: there’s always some undemocratic country staying above unbelievably large oilfields.

      Anti-Trumper here.

      Maduro was indicted by US Courts in 2020 for drugs and weapon trafficking. Maduro lost the 2024 election, but retained power through force. No Latin American countries even acknowledge his position. He squandered their number one asset (oil). This is good for the world.

      Now, of course the US is hypocritical in that we are doing this for drugs, but haven’t said a word to a China about the fentanyl.

      Ironic coming from the country that still practices large economic coloniaism over African countries.

    16. afro_samaurai on

      I don’t agree with the Trump regime, but to hear this from France who is actively trying to assassinate Ibrahim Traroe just for the reason of trying to give his people sovereignty. The hypocrisy of the West.

      Who gives a shit about what tje French think? Venezuelans are cheering and we supposed to worry about these french think?

      Typical….Wake up France…Venezuela has become the most significant extra-hemispheric foothold for strategic rivals of the United States in the Western Hemisphere, and the scale of that penetration is measurable. Since the mid-2000s, Russia and China have together extended well over US$60 billion in loans, oil-backed financing, and military support to Caracas, making Venezuela the single largest recipient of Chinese lending in Latin America and Russia’s most militarily integrated partner in the region.

      Russia has supplied advanced air-defense systems, combat aircraft, and intelligence cooperation, while Chinese firms now dominate key Venezuelan sectors including oil infrastructure, telecommunications, surveillance technology, and digital ID systems.

      Venezuela’s debt-dependency has translated directly into geopolitical leverage: ports, energy assets, and data infrastructure sit effectively under foreign influence less than 2,000 miles from the U.S. mainland. From a balance-of-power perspective, no other Western Hemisphere state offers Moscow or Beijing a comparable combination of proximity, institutional collapse, and regime alignment.

      Allowing this situation to persist carried compounding strategic costs for the West.

      Venezuela’s economic implosion has already displaced over 7.7 million people, the largest refugee crisis in the hemisphere, destabilizing Colombia, Peru, Brazil, and beyond ….states that are core U.S. partners.

      Meanwhile, the Maduro regime’s survival model; resource rents traded for authoritarian backing, offers Russia and China a template to entrench influence in other fragile states. If left unchanged, Venezuela risks becoming a permanent logistics, intelligence, and political platform for adversarial powers inside a region long central to U.S. security doctrine.

      From a data-driven standpoint, measured in foreign military presence, debt leverage, refugee flows, and regional spillover, the cost of inaction is not neutral; it is cumulative.

      For the United States and its allies, facilitating a democratic transition in Venezuela is not about ideology, but about preventing the normalization of rival great-power control within the Western Hemisphere and preserving long-term regional stability.

      Love the americans using the “russian” tactic of whataboutism about France’s colonial past. You are just like Russians. Different sides of the same coin.

    20. Promptly-late on

      The US military is nothing more than bodyguards for ExxonMobil, Chevron, and Conoco Phillips.

      Americans don’t have healthcare because our government spends those funds on bombs and Apache helicopters to protect US oil interests.

    22. Chance_Warthog_9389 on

      I hope Venezualans don’t experience what happened in Iraq, apparently $15 trillion in oil was something to fight over. For decades.

    23. vizorni on

      Well 1973, President Allende in Chile was killed and replaced by the sinister Pinochet, with full force support of CIA.
      Different country, same methodology.

    24. SnooPeanuts626 on

      I’m from the uk and feel the following:

      1. We need to have an identity distinct from the US
      2. We need to stand strong with Europe.
      3. War is coming and we need to choose sides
      4. We need to operate like Taiwan and Switzerland. Move towards an era of strategic ambiguity.

      As much as I LOATHE the orange bloat, but I must admit I’m not particularly sad about the removal of a guy who lost the elections and refused to let go of his power…

    29. silask93 on

      Trump is an illiterate, warmongering rapist piece of shit, as an american i cannot condemn his ass hard enough, he is a traitor to the country and to the world and he needs to be removed from power.

      It’s very telling that the people who want to open the border to unlimited Venezuelan asylum seekers are also opposed to rooting out the source of why they are seeking asylum in the first place.

    33. nottheone414 on

      Fuck France. Has everyone forgotten the Rainbow Warrior incident? Their hands are hardly clean, when it comes to unilateral violence in other countries.
