US Captures Nicolas Maduro and his Wife

Now it seems that 'the Cartel of the Suns' is as real as the 'Ukrainian fascists.' When it comes to making up excuses to justify invasions, both world leaders are very similar, aren't they?

 

It seems to me that Maduro is present in the USA without an entry Visa, nor a Green Card, has been 'convicted (without a trial) of having a machine gun in his own country, therefore
qualifying for immediate deportation to El Krapistan or the deep jungle in the Amazon where head-hunters still live.

 

Prior to the January 2026 political transition, the Venezuelan opposition, led primarily by María Corina Machado and presidential candidate Edmundo González Urrutia, campaigned on a platform centered on "Popular Capitalism" and the restoration of democracy.
Their planned policy changes, outlined in the "Venezuela, Land of Grace" document, included:

• Massive Privatization: Machado proposed a quick and transparent privatization of over 500 state-owned companies that were "confiscated and destroyed" by the Maduro regime. This included opening the oil and gas sectors to competitive foreign bidding to reach production targets of over 3 million barrels per day.
• Monetary and Fiscal Reform: To curb hyperinflation, they aimed to eliminate the fiscal deficit and stabilize the currency through market-oriented policies. Machado envisioned transforming Venezuela into a $1.7 trillion economy through private investment and the rule of law.
• Justice and Human Rights: A primary goal was the immediate release of all political prisoners and the implementation of transitional justice processes to hold corrupt officials accountable while offering amnesties where necessary for a peaceful transition.
• Security Force Professionalization: They intended to depoliticize the military (FANB), removing them from political roles and ending their involvement in illicit activities like drug trafficking and gold smuggling.
• Social and Migrant Recovery: The platform prioritized "reuniting families" by creating the economic conditions necessary for the return of the millions of Venezuelans in the diaspora.
• Debt Restructuring: Machado planned to address the massive public external debt—which has been in default for years—through a bond swap process to restore the country's financial sustainability.

"There is an argument that socialism is only feasible for highly advanced, post-industrial societies with a deep-seated culture of civic duty and low corruption. In developing regions where survival often depends on navigating informal power structures and gang-like hierarchies, the radical centralization of socialism is premature. Until a society develops a stable middle class and a firm rejection of systemic corruption, socialism simply provides a more efficient tool for bad actors to control the population."

• Caudillo Culture: The historical tendency in Latin America to follow a charismatic "big boss" rather than a set of democratic rules.

In January 2026, the question of whether the "Bolivarian Revolution" was doomed by U.S. intervention or its own internal flaws remains a central debate.

Would it have worked without U.S. intervention?
Most economic historians and analysts in 2026 argue that while U.S. sanctions accelerated the collapse, the revolution was already failing due to its own structural and policy flaws.

• The "Sanctions" Myth: Significant U.S. oil sanctions did not begin until 2017 and 2019, yet Venezuela’s economy had already entered a deep recession in 2013 and hit hyperinflation by 2017.
• The PDVSA Purge (2003): Before the U.S. "undermined" them, the government fired 20,000 experienced oil professionals and replaced them with political loyalists. This led to a permanent decline in production that began long before any international blockade.
• Price and Currency Controls: These policies "broke the basic link between supply and demand," making it impossible for private businesses to survive and eventually leading to the massive shortages of food and medicine.

What would "success" have looked like?
Based on the original Plan for the Homeland (Plan de la Patria) and Hugo Chávez’s stated goals, a successful revolution would have ideally achieved:

• "Participatory Democracy": A state where citizens, through local communal councils, directly managed their own communities and projects.
• National Independence: A multipolar world where Venezuela was not dependent on the United States for energy sales or imports, instead trading with a "Greater Homeland" (Patria Grande) of unified Latin American nations.
• Eradication of Poverty: Success would have seen the permanent stabilization of the "missions"—state-funded programs providing universal healthcare, education, and housing—funded by a high-tech, state-controlled oil industry.
• Food Sovereignty: A country where 96% of the food was produced domestically rather than imported.

Why it failed to reach that "success"
In reality, the government used oil profits during the 2000s boom (when prices hit $140/barrel) to fund immediate social spending without saving for the future or maintaining the oil infrastructure. When oil prices plummeted in 2014, the state-run businesses were already hollowed out by corruption and technical brain drain, making the subsequent U.S. sanctions a final blow to an already crumbling foundation.



I don't know the place totally sucked that's for sure so something needed to happen.

 

And don't forget Iran.

Yes Trump said that Iran can't be killing its protestors wile American protestor is killed by American government and that's somehow OK.
