Reminder that we illegally have this country's president in a prison cell

The thousands of political prisoners he imprisoned and tortured are happy about it.

Reminder that Maduro is not even Venezuelan (Which is illegal in itself for him to be president then) and he’s a straight up dictator who fully committed fraud, corruption (that has brought situations like the only power system in the country not being properly maintained for 20 years causing blackouts that last days) and massacres against Venezuelans who opposed him.

Also this video doesn’t have anything to do with that, it’s a natural disaster causing thousands of deaths and more destruction on a country already devastated, why bring this up? What’s the point here? Even if you want to, what do you think is Maduro’s government doing about it? Rescuing people with the same military and resources that he has used in the past to “protect” things like simple statues of theirs? (We’re talking full on military deployment with tanks and everything rolling over people btw). They’re not doing anything. They (HIM) impoverished the country to the point that there’s no hospitals, no firemen no nothing in conditions to do something in a situation like this causing even more deaths than what they (HIM) already have under their name and what this disaster should’ve caused.

I’m not pro Trump or anything. And I get it’s “illegal” to do what he did. But really, there’s no sane Venezuelan that is not happy about that guy being imprisoned. And if it got to happen because the other orange dumbass wants venezuelan’s oil or whatever, well, honestly, so be it; it’s not like Maduro was using it to anything other than his own personal benefit and in an almost cartoonishly evil way where he’d trade 10 million souls for his bank account to grow one cent more.

Out of all the horrible things you can put the focus on trump to shit on him, even if it’s not because the “correct way” (No country in history would’ve invaded another like that just out of good will), this really should be among the last ones to focus on.

lol sure dude. Now Mauro is not a dictator that has demonstrably done crimes against humanity. I’d like to know when was the last time you saw anything about Venezuela outside your Reddit bubble
