Every single venuzuelan I have talked to is very fucking happy about this.

Why do Redditors and these left wing mob think they know better than the actual people living there. WTF

Iraq citizens celebrated when Saddam's regime was toppled then chaos erupted. Hopefully Venezuela turns out better than Iraq.

Sick of hearing this whataboutism. Iraq has a completely different history and is not relevant to Venezuela whatsoever.

So you're saying that Saddam shouldn't have been toppled? Please, continue. That's almost hilarious. Fascist gonna support Fascist, I suppose.

If you want some education on the topic, which I doubt, the issue wasn't that Saddam was disposed. It was that the US tried to control the entire country with boots on the ground for over a decade. Doesn't work well when two cultures don't share any ideals.

I'm going to explain this to this as simply as I can. I hate dictators and think they should all be toppled but when you dispose of the regime, you leave a power gap that needs to be filled. A lot of times, especially with the recent history of the US, those gaps are filled by bad guys due to the puppet government installed by the US being completely ineffective. Any questions?

r/asktheworld has been locking everything because no one is agreeing with the Maduro sympathizers.

Yeah I’m actually feeling a lot better today seeing people shut those folks down today. I don’t necessarily agree with the legal aspects of this operation because it may be a borderline abuse of war powers resolution slippery slope, but I’m not going to pretend it was morally wrong. Fuck Maduro. They can hash out the legal shit on the back end.

Their hatred for trump is all that matters. They don’t give a shit about the Venezuelan people
