Maduro World Politics

What is this kidnapped nonsense when it comes to Maduro? The United States has never recognized Maduro as the rightfully elected President of Venezuela.  Five years ago a judge in the Southern District of New York issued a warrant for his arrest, alleging Narco Drug Trafficking among other crimes.  When the United States issues a warrant, for suspected crimes against its citizens, there are no borders -- no recognized safe havens in the world.  If they can get to the suspect, they will.  Maduro will be fairly tried in a court of law.  100,000 Americans died of drug overdoses last year.  If anyone thinks that this is hilarious, which I have read in comments on Soup, they have a serious problem with right and wrong.  If Democrats in the US Congress, do not like what Trump did, change the law.  He is acting well within his rights as President of the United States.  This type of Law Enforcement has been done by other US Presidents in the past.  Nothing new here.  What is new is, a Democrat Congress and Mainstream News Media, who seem to have lost their minds if not souls.   If any opposition reading this, is into the bible, try reading the 9th commandment again.  Let the legal system play out.  As for the politics of oil, other natural resources, would you rather communist dictators remained in control, instead of transitioning all rights back to the citizens of a liberated Venezuela, restoring health and prosperity to a once very prosperous neighbor nation?  

On January 10, 2025, the Biden administration bumped up the reward for information which would lead to Maduro’s arrest to $25 million. The reward was previously set at $15 million by the Trump administration. The Biden administration also announced at the time that it would be offering a $25 million reward for information which led to the capture of Dusisdadi Cabello, the country’s interior minister, a $15 million increase. In addition, a new $15 million reward was created for the detention of the country’s defense minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez.  According to former Mayor of New York Eric Adams.

Hi Joe; not about who is pure or purest. It's about getting rid of self serving tyrants who don't have America's best interest at heart. Getting rid of all Marxist influence from the Americas' Hemisphere. It's about liberating Venezuela from an illegally imposed dictatorship. It's about getting communist, Marxist Filth out of the South American entirely.

-- no shortage of drugs that I ever read about. No government is entirely blood free. No one is totally corruption free. If God had that same purity test, He would have destroyed this world a long time ago. Just my opinion. Not speaking nor imploring God to do something. He gave us the power to help ourselves. About time a Free World leader is fearless enough to attempt to use that power for the good of all humanity. If the US wanted to control the world, they would have done that at the end of World War 2. It's nonsence. Just my uninformed opinion. I have no inside information beyond what I feel in my heart. I voted for Trump. So far He has done all I could hope for given the evil oppositions around the world. Is he Pure? I doubt it. Doubt that He himself would even jokingly say so. He is a human, in my opinion, who feels he has been given a second chance to leave this world better for his having been here.

Is America pure? No! But I will take it over China and Russia and Iran any day of the week. Is Venezuela a Sovereign Country? Yes. A Sovereign Country whose freedom was usurped by Totalitarian Thugs. Thugs who have persisted for intolerable years to perpetrate terrific horrors on the people of Venezuela, confiscating private property, imprisoning and murdering those who would not acquiesce. You hear...who in the CIA ran drugs into the country? I also would like to know. We need names, not unnamed sources. As Mainstream News like to promote as fact. Trump is cleaning house. If you have some specific information, we would all like to know. From what I see, there have been for decades plenty of Criminal Nations willing to supply drugs to the Americas, without the CIA help --

My reply above, Joe; just not enough space allowed in comments, so I added my further opinion to the original document. Carney of all people, or NATO? At times, folks work the best they can with what they have. That's all I can say. Even sometimes better to keep enemies closer than friends. Other than that, don't know how to reply.

I taught ESL for years when the monsters took over Venezuela. We had some students who had to flee for their lives. I love those people. Many of the educated ones were tortured, imprisoned or even killed. I know they must be celebrating like crazy right now

Thank you for speaking out with plain common sense and facts. I am so sick of people hating anything good if it happens to come from trump. He is doing what other presidents in the past have done. You can't hate a good thing even if it comes from a person you have hatred for. I don't like him but at least I see some progress happening at last!

Thank you, Andrea; 3 now for the sane good guys. Have a great writing day my friend. Insane are plotting, scheming, exchanging Soup mail for coordinated response. No end to it.

Excellent summation of the Maduro situation, Joe. Trump should be commended for the action he took vis-a-vis the inept biden crowd who had no grasp of international politics nor anything else for that matter! Bob H

Joe, I think Christ tolerates fools, but doubt that He chose any to be His Apostles. Joe, I am not trying to debate with you. Feel about things as you like. The FBI makes mafia look like choir boys, sometimes with their tactics. I have seen in movies. They may have used Mafia, who knows...there may undercover cops, a job I would not want for the life of me, who do things that revolt their senses...then have to go home and try and be normal with their wives and children. Don't know anyone, who can be in the world and not part of it. Again, just my opinion. My wife has been a school teacher and military. She was a young women during world war two...and most of my history I get firsthand from her as recalled...of course, everything gets filtered through our own inherent and developed predilections. As much as possible I avoid professors and opinion writers (hear-say students) since then. Peace brother. Sorry to be abrupt...but I am clearly patriotic.

Thank you, Robert; another for the good guys. I can't believe the junk I'm reading, from people who do not have the foggiest idea what they are talking about. Comparing Trump to a Mafia boss...out of their cuckoos.
