I'm completely flabbergasted by our actions. Apologies aren't enough to begin to address what we did, but I'm so sorry that my government has chosen to terrorize you and the people around you.

Which military is patrolling? Asking bc information is not being shared correctly through mainstream channels. Does USA actually have control of the country?
I saw that the TV stations are still broadcasting pro-Maduro stuff, I don't think the US is actually in control in Venezuela.

It sounds like it's Venezuela's military trying to stop people looting in their own country.
People can do stupid things when they panic.

Stay safe and take care of your family ,
greetings from Belgium
Yep the world doesn't feel safer. I am far from being informed enough to have a proper opinion on Maduro, and I have big doubts about the opposition as well. However I totally disagree with USA taking over anywhere. Hope you guys manage to find a few good leaders to see you through this mess.
The big problem with this is who is next? the US always had the power to do this but now that its actually doing it with bogus madeup reasoning... Is Canada next? Greenland? Mexico? Costa Rica?
Noem is already meming with Greenland draped in a US flag and Trump said Gistavo Petro has to watch his ass
No love lost for Maduro, but then none for Trump, Putin and on and on.. What' a shit show the US is.

All heads of state who are either turning a blind eye or openly celebrating this should bear this in mind: if they do the slightest thing to annoy the United States, they are next, and no one will help them.

I'm seeing a hell of a lot of parallels to the Falkland Islands from when I was growing up.
It's all a distraction, and they don't care how many human lives they have to destroy. The astroturfing AI bots are, frankly, disgusting.
I'm really sorry that you're suffering, and I hope your beautiful country's recovery is swift and as uneventful as possible.

I hope you know that Americans didn't want this either. The world is praying for you.
Part of the usonians didn't want this. A non-irrelevant part actively voted for this, and another non-irrelevant part couldn't care enough to vote so indirectly allowed this.

Mucha fuerza desde España, todos aquí estamos con vosotros. Espero que puedas estar seguro y ojalá encontréis la fuerza para llegar a un futuro mejor pronto.
Como ciudadano de a pié haré toda la presión que pueda para que los gobiernos europeos encuentren sus huevos y se opongan de verdad a esta mierda

I am so sorry. I am in the third that hates Trump and I feel helpless.
That percentage has been shifting. Seeing a lot less trump flags out there. Like Mr Rogers said, look for the helpers. Maybe find a way to help yourself, too

My apologies will never carry enough weight to balance against what our mistakes at home have done to affect you and your loved ones. Nonetheless, my heart goes out to you, and I apologize for what we've let happen.
Truly nothing can make up for what has already happened. I am deeply sorry for the victims of our military and everyone else who lives in fear because of us. It never should have gotten here, and every American should one day reckon with our failure to enact change in time. I fear the day of that reckoning is coming close, and that it will not be voluntary any longer when it arrives
Bruh, the Venezuelans are celebrating in Miami.. who cares about you? \s
The only true Venezuelan are those living abroad. It is a known fact that there's no Venezuelans living in Venezuela \s
