"The "Opposition" are US stooges. Juan Guido first in line.

Nicolas Maduro won Fair.

The US just doesn't like it.

There you are again posting lies and propaganda you lousy rotten stooge.
I live in a Latin country with almost 1 million Venezuelans have entered undocumented many tens of thousands of them and they would like to have a word with you. They tell me what's up about their country and it is like nothing that you write. Facts are better than fiction as well over 8 million Venezuelans spread out in Latin America that were not allowed to vote in this election. Maduro also tossed the opposition campaign manager into prison just because. Chile just cut ties with these -------- over the fake count in this election and Boric the president of Chile is a hard leftist. I have tapes of these Venezuelans crying and screaming in agony from this fake election in my barrio that are pretty sad and I keep telling them to go home and take up arms against these criminals who are not communist but criminals. You just keep spreading your disinformation and someday your karma will catch up with you jerk traitor.

"That said, the US is not helping with the idiotic sanctions. They've had the obvious effect of forcing Venezuela to cozy up to Russia, which is NOT something we need right now. The best thing we could do is end them immediately." DARKVADER

Well, most of your post was correct but Chavez was cozying up to the Russians, Cubans and Chinese durning his tenure. Without their help Maduro would not be able to hold onto power. He really needs to go and when he does Putler will suffer some problems for it and the Chinese too will have more issues getting that oil. I have taught and played sports with many of my Venezuelan neighbors coming into Santiago, Chile since 2015. The first four years I was teaching engineers, doctors, lawyers and nurses and then the next wave of folks from there were the semi illiterate and many of them are just straight up gangsters who along with the the Colombians have flooded Latin America with weapons(mainly smuggled in via Texas) and Chile never had gun issues before but now every teenager is armed and robbing everyone else. We also now have 38 car jackings per day. Kidnapping for extortion is now a thing and there is even shanty towns that the Haitian immigrants started all over the country with some of them having up to 15,000 people crammed into their makeshift towns within cities. Vigilanteism is all the rage and criminals that get caught by neighborhood people robbing and hurting get serene rapped to telephone poles after a beating and salt poured on their wounds until the cops finally get off their asses and show up. Now, the newer immigrants with their gangs from Venezuela
and Colombia have taken up residence inside the Haitians communities and have their own cemeteries where they bury their kidnap victims of the families that could not pay up the ransom. These people steal the water, electricity and anything not nailed down from the poor Chileans who live in legal housing nearby and Chileans have had it with Venezuelans and Colombian gangster who also have thousands of barber shops all over the country now(eight within two blocks in my barrio alone) where they wash drug money. They also control the migrants who sale stuff on the street by renting them sidewalk space and murder and robe and rape with no thought to the locals and within the migrant communities. Loud all night criminal parties destroy the peace of the neighborhoods and people have become xenophobic with good reason towards them. The congress here has made a new law especailly for these criminals that they catch that attempt to play stupid and have no legal identification to prove who they are so now if they get caught and play that game they stay in jail until they can legally prove who they are and from where they come. Some of the criminals decided to leave but the countries of Peru and Bolivia, which they came through to get to Chile, refuse to let them back in and Maduro refuses the Chilean air force to fly them back into Venezuela after they kick them out. I am an old airborne soldier and tell people we can put parachutes on these deported criminals and drop them off with a strong back breeze into that gawd awful country two hundred at a time from Ecador or Colombia. I will even teach them to land as I am so sick of them. My sister in law has been robbed five times by Venezuelans
and many of my other friends and family also has been robbed and hurt by them. All because Maduro has to stay in power.
