This is building consent for a US war on Venezuela.

Nobel war prize more like, considering the people they award this to.

Isn't that the reason she's trying to reestablish democracy in Venezuela, to get rid of an authoritarian leader she knows can't be satisfied?

    The parallel can be drawn since the USA and other western countries was involved in the post Arab spring. France fought to keep it's neo colonial influence in Tunisia. In Egypt , the USA was involved in taking down Morsi and put Sisi instead who is serving the USA and Israel interests .

    She is be the same type of traitor. She doesn't hide her support for Trump and supporting military intervention in Venezuela. Do you really believe the USA help any country for charity? It doesn't matter how harder it could be but Venezuelans should remove Maduro by themselves with no foreign interference

    No, I think she's trying to flatter Trump to make sure the US still supports a democratic transition in Venezuela. Trump doesn't need to be goaded into not liking Maduro, even if they're both authoritarian lovers

    This is also the reward he apparently coveted most. Frankly she might be doing this just not to be directly targeted by him negatively.

    I have no idea, but i wouldn't want to be the person who beat Trump for this award, the dude is not afraid to kill civilians in cold blood.

    yet you have no issues pretending to justify her behaviour?

    ok, so either she wants the usa to install her (or someone close) as a puppet regime or she is too stupid to understand that

    either way we are both speculating and your “I'm not Maria" makes no difference

    Yes, we are both obviously speculating. But you accused me of being naive about the US and it's role in democratic transitions as an answer to my speculation of her tweet. I don't think you read what I wrote especially close or you wouldn't be this confrontational. 🙄

    so you get to speculate for free but we cannot challenge your speculation because, at that moment, it's not yours, it's whomever you placed the speculation on?

    by the way, you did not even clarify you were speculating, you outright stated her position

    Trump doesn’t need to be goaded into not liking Maduro, even if they’re both authoritarian lovers

    Feel free to "challenge" what I think about her reasoning.

    you did not even clarify you were speculating, you outright stated her position

    See, you are not reading before answering, I even start the sentence with I think. Usually one does not need to put up a disclaimer when commenting on a forum..

    Was transactional, and you could bet on how he would act. Now grandpa does as he's told. Not being funny. His dementia has been sliding off the cliff since '21 or '22, he's very near free-fall.

    Look at the general's meeting and his UN address. He's fucking gone.

    At this point I'm surprised his handlers let him speak in public. How long can they sustain that and what comes next?
