    All that means is the vice president wasn’t important enough to be captured for the americans. 

    She can live next to assad in moscow now

    Getting crowded in Moscow, maybe they need to open some windows to vent the place.

  3. I’m excited to see the mental gymnastics redditors will have to go through once they realize how in bed this regime was with Russia

  4. So if she’s fled, that leaves the Minister of the Interior as the next biggest figure it seems.

  5. Well that was quick… I think the **orchestrated surrender** scenario (by Maduro and/or people close to him) seems more and more plausible, with many players ready to give up Maduro and head for the exit.

  6. Off to join Yanukovich and Assad in Putin’s exclusive Moscow’s Dictator in Exile Club(TM)

    Coward ran away, shows her commitment to herself and the millions of dollars she probably stole from the Venezuelan people.

  8. There are two possible options here:

    The dictatorship disbands and Venezuela lives happily ever after.

    Or…

    The various paramilitary groups fight for power in Venezuela.

    Maybe she can get her medical assistant license and work in Assad’s optometry practice.

  10. What a fortunate coincidence. She didn’t arrive with a suitcase containing 50 million, did she?

  11. >Jan 3 (Reuters) – Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez is in Russia, four sources familiar with her movements said on Saturday, after President Donald Trump said President Nicolas Maduro had been seized by U.S. forces after an attack on the country.

    >Her brother, Jorge Rodriguez, the head of the national assembly, is in Caracas, three sources with knowledge of his whereabouts said.

    >Delcy Rodriguez appeared in an audio message on state television earlier in the day, calling for proof of life of Maduro and his wife Cilia, while Jorge Rodriguez has not appeared since the attack.

    Tell me if you heard this one before? Assad, Rodrigues and Seagal walk into a bar…

    All you idiots: Russia isn’t hosting dictators as a service, these people have been doing Russia’s bidding so Russia owes them.

  14. > Russia’s foreign ministry said the report that Rodriguez is in Russia was “fake.”

    So it’s pretty much officially confirmed then?

  15. I thought Trump was going to be more focused on America at home…. And yet here he goes kidnapping foreign leaders…

    Trump 100% knew she was there based on the press conference today. He already knew she wouldn’t be taking over.

  17. Time for the US to invade Russia and bring this criminal to justice, for consistency’s sake… right?
