The US Attacked my country... (lemmy.world)

I don't care about Maduro, as far as I'm concerned, they can shoot him if they want. What matters to me is walking through the streets of my city and seeing the faces of fear on my neighbors. The military patrolling to prevent looting due to panic. It's a collective hangover, a horrible one.

It's 2016 all over again. It's seeing despair entering the circulatory system of all Venezuelans, only now it's more sudden, and we are painfully aware of it.

This is far from improving, and we know it.

Welcome to the regime change party.

Could probably count the number on countries on your hand that the USA hasn't attempted to intervene in.

Anyways, isn't the Venezuelan military also immediately at fault here? You don't just send a bunch of Chinooks into another country expecting zero resistance. Someone was onboard with a deal and let them in. I could be wrong, but it seems like the Air Force couldn't be convinced, hence the air strikes.

It's actually only unusual because they bothered to get directly involved. Maduro could have easily been couped and the US would pretend they had nothing to do with it.

That's something we've been discussing in my family. For us, it's a fact that Maduro was sold out, given the lack of resistance there was. What's more, the fact that they only took him and his wife and no one else from the Chavista leadership is like cutting off one head of a Hydra: it's useless if what you really want is to remove the Chavistas from power.

Something fishy (and probably anticlimactic) is happening.

I'm sorry and I'm sick. When I saw the news a few hours ago, I don't have the words. Had to repeat to my wife 3 times, "Trump kidnapped the President of Venezuela and his wife."

When I woke up this morning and my family told me the news I prayed it was AI or some Tiktok bullshit...

Then I saw the air strikes videos on CNN and I almost cried.

Ana Corina Sosa Machado is lining up to take over and sell the whole country to the orange toddler, and I'm sure more vultures are also getting ready for the power grab, I'm really sorry for the situation you are all in , just don't expect any help from the international community, cause it simply doesn't exist, get ready for a stream of meaningless comments and maybe a couple of press conferences, they already accepted the reality of the situation and accepted their absolute castration

The traitor of Machado was already scrapped from Trumps plans, So we're at the mercy of whatever Cheeto-Hitler says.

I'm very sorry that's happening to you. Seriously.

We will resist this. There are people resisting this in your country and people resisting this in ours.
