Hours after an audacious military operation that plucked leader Nicolás Maduro from power and removed him from the country, President Donald Trump said Saturday that the United States would run Venezuela at least temporarily and tap its vast oil reserves to sell to other nations. The dramatic action capped an intensive Trump administration pressure campaign on the South American nation and its autocratic leader and months of secret planning resulting in the most assertive American action to achieve regime change since the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Venezuela’s vice president Delcy Rodríguez demanded in a speech that the U.S. free Maduro and called him the country’s rightful leader, before Venezuela’s high court ordered her to assume the role of interim president.
For the most part, it doesn’t. They can kill civilians but their coup attempts have failed and will fail. The US empire is crumbling and this is only going to speed it up.
Think they’ll hold him for more than the 47hrs they held Chavez? I bet Maduro is out in 30, not because I think Maduro is more bad ass than Chavez just because I think usa is weaker than it was back then.
Trump has claimed to have Maduro as a hostage. Any news updates should be posted underneath this comment for visibility purposes.
Fuck Trump and fuck the White House for this.
I hate how everything goes America’s way so easily

Don’t forget that the empire is more unhinged now, so they could possibly even kill him as a show (but that would be the end of empire 100%)
I absolutely wouldn’t put it past this administration to Livestream a public hanging
They hanged Saddam and bragged about it (obviously not the same, Maduro’s so much better), but that depends how insane Trump’s looking.
