US forces have seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, in a major escalation of Donald Trump’s four-month pressure campaign against the South American country’s dictator, Nicolás Maduro.

Their far right, including the woman won a Nobel peace prize, are explicitly pro the U.S. attacking Venezuela to overthrow Maduro.
Maria Corina is not far right. C’mon.
Traditional right, yes.
Far right, nah.
She is literally calling for Trump to invade her country.
She’s a pro genocide MAGAt.
It’s more complicated than just saying she’s pro-Trump because she’s indulging him.
Listen, I don’t like that she’s done that.
But let’s be absolutely clear on one thing:
The Trump regime has more in common with the Maduro regime than whatever Machado has in mind.
I’ve seen Trump play the same book, step by step, that Chavez played back in the 00s.
They’re both Russian material. Though Chavez was more aligned with Cuba, but it’s the same BS.
So, no. Machado is not “maga”. Machado is pro “4th Republic” (or how things were before this “5th Republic” established by Chávez.)
Machado is just desperate because nothing the Venezuelan opposition has done has worked. Granted, the opposition has been so, so, so lousy through the years! If you think Democrats suck at opposing Trump, you should read everything the Venezuelan opposition has done to resist, and get nothing as a result. Just hippie, “we go high” bullshit.
Hell, they even ousted Chávez once! Look it up! They didn’t know what to do with the recently acquired power, doing a lot of bullshit moves that eventually the military was like “well, these people are crazier than Chávez. We gave them a chance, they blew it. Let’s bring Chávez back before these clowns start a famine or something”. It was hilariously sad.
So, again, Machado is not pro-Maga. She hates that ideology (America first, or Venezuela first in this case). She’s just a result of a desperate opposition that sees that the only way to oust this unending regime is through external help. And unfortunately Trump took the bait. If Madagascar had expressed interested in invading Venezuela instead of the U.S., she would be buttering them (Madagascar) instead.
if venezuela’s an aes country (think vietnam combined with nepal (which is NOT an aes country, but has socialist political parties), they would’ve fought back (and they should). seriously!
