Does anyone have a link to the other angle that isn't on a dinky little instagram interface that can't be enlarged?

#12- you're wrong on this one. She was clearly driving away in the video.

I guess this is a bigger story than the muder in Minneapolis?

This isn't rocket science.

If someone is doing hard illicit drugs in public, which I actually saw one of the times I went back to my hometown, they should absolutely be arrested and prosecuted.

Even most of the Chavistas are happy that Maduro has been taken out of power. Except for the ones who are also Maduristas and aligned with Putin.

I think this is mostly just trolling to wind up Trump's opponents so that they're making knee jerk reactions that they can portray as "TDS".

"The SANCTIONS ON THAT REGIME DISPLACED 8 MILLION PEOPLE."
Factually untrue. Prior to Trump (the guy you voted for), the sanctions were very limited and targeted, but there were still millions of people displaced and hyperinflation. The sanctions didn't cause the regime's human rights violations, corruption or mismanagement. They were in response to them.
"Just Ending the Sanctions would have stopped the exodus from Venezuela."
What are you basing this on, other than wishful fairytale thinking and ignorance? Most of the analyses I've read suggest that there would have been at most about one million fewer refugees if there were no sanctions at all.

"Was all this for something other than the well being of The Venezuelan People?"
The primary reason is for regional stability and security, in response to the crisis fueled by the Putin/Xi-backed regime that displaced 8 million people. Regardless of what anyone says, everything else is a sidenote to that, even Trump's grifting.

Sheesh people. It hasn't even been 48 hours yet. Did you think that a new government would be magically put in place overnight, or that the existing one would just step down or submit without any face-saving measures?

"Does this make Machado legitimate? Or Er, Gonzalez?"
Gonzalez is legitimately the democratically elected president of Venezuela, per the 2024 election.

"I really am curious about what the leaders of other South and Central American nations will have to say about all of this."
Most of them are likely in favor of it. You clearly have no idea how much of problem the displacement of 25% of Venezuela's population by the Chavez/Maduro regime has caused to the entire region.
And before anyone brings up Iraq again, unlike that country Venezuela's actually had a long history of stable democracy prior to those thugs subverting it (with Moscow and Beijing's support).

Looks like the talking points from Moscow finally came through.

Venezuela already has a democratically elected president, Edmundo Gonzalez.

This isn't really anything new. The USPS has been consolidating their processing centers for years now. Some letters don't even get postmarked at all.
