For those talking trash and saying oil oil, Maduro was indicted by a grand jury under Biden. If u know what a grand jury means in the USA then you’ll understand why he was a dead man walking. |

josielewa:Exactly! Fentanyl kills Americans the most and China is the headquarters. Xi Jinling should have been captured by now. But trust them, they only bully weak countries. The whole military might was established with weak countries. |

HacheNoire:Wow. Wow. They didn't even hide it. Had to double check what you posted above and I realized it was utterly true. This is a sad precedence for the international system.

Nothing like Sovereignty when the World's most powerful country is on your case. May God in his infinite Mercy continue to bless and preserve the United States of America...God's own country. If not for America, Terrorists and unrepentant criminals would have overrun the World. |

So now the US is the accuser, the prosecutor and also the judge! The world at large needs to brace up and challenge these impunities of Trump. The US is powerful today due to the collaborations and cooperation it gained from other powerful nations. Trump is transgressing and this could be catastrophic to the US. This is a total disrespect for the rule of law! Death that is killing our peers is sending a big signal to us. It’s Venezuela today, did we know who’s next? The earlier this monster is called to order the better it is for the world at large. |

The sins of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro Nicolás Maduro, president of Venezuela since 2013, faces widespread accusations of serious human rights abuses and authoritarian practices. These come from reputable international organizations, including the United Nations, Human Rights Watch (HRW), Amnesty International, and the International Criminal Court (ICC). Key allegations include: Crimes against humanity: UN Fact-Finding Missions (since 2019) and reports conclude that Venezuelan authorities under Maduro have committed widespread and systematic abuses, including extrajudicial killings, arbitrary detentions, torture, enforced disappearances, and persecution of political opponents. These acts are described as part of a coordinated plan to repress dissent, often involving security forces like the Bolivarian National Guard and special police units (FAES). Extrajudicial executions and repression: Thousands of killings, particularly in low-income areas, have been documented, with Amnesty International reporting severe violations including thousands of executions between 2015-2017. Impunity is rampant due to lack of independent investigations. Political persecution and erosion of institutions: Maduro's government has stacked courts, controlled media, disqualified opponents, and prosecuted critics in military tribunals. The ICC opened a formal investigation in 2021 into possible crimes against humanity since 2014, resuming it in 2025. Economic and humanitarian crisis: Policies under Maduro have contributed to hyperinflation, shortages of food and medicine, and mass emigration (over 7.8 million Venezuelans fled). Critics attribute this to mismanagement, while Maduro blames external sanctions and "economic warfare." Maduro and his government consistently deny these accusations, rejecting external reports as biased interference and asserting sovereignty. The 2024 Presidential Election (July 28, 2024) The election pitted Maduro against opposition candidate Edmundo González Urrutia (supported by María Corina Machado, who was disqualified from running). Official results: Venezuela's government-controlled National Electoral Council (CNE) declared Maduro the winner with ~51% of votes (vs. ~44% for González), based on partial counts without releasing detailed precinct-level tallies. Opposition claims and evidence: The opposition collected and published tally sheets ("actas" from over 80% of polling stations, showing González winning ~67% to Maduro's ~30%. Independent analyses (e.g., by academics, media like The New York Times, and statisticians) found this data credible and described the official results as statistically implausible—one of the largest electoral frauds in Latin American history.International observers: The Carter Center (the only major independent observer invited) stated the election "did not meet international standards of electoral integrity" and "cannot be considered democratic," citing lack of transparency, restrictions on observers, and irregularities. The UN, OAS, EU, and many governments (including the US, which recognized González as winner) rejected the results and demanded full tallies. Post-election repression: Protests erupted nationwide. Authorities responded with a brutal crackdown: at least 24-28 deaths (many potentially extrajudicial), over 2,400 arrests, torture allegations, and enforced disappearances. UN experts called it "crimes against humanity," including persecution. Maduro encouraged reporting protesters via apps and launched "Operation Tun Tun" (door-to-door arrests). Some prisoners were later released amid international pressure. Maduro was sworn in for a third term in January 2025, amid ongoing disputes. Allies (e.g., Russia, China, Cuba) recognized his win; most Western and many Latin American countries did not. These claims are substantiated by cross-verified reports from neutral bodies like the UN, Carter Center, HRW, and Amnesty, representing diverse stakeholders. Maduro's government maintains the election was fair and accuses critics of coup attempts. The situation remains a deep political and humanitarian crisis. |

Miramonica:What has this particular issue got to do with terrorism? If the US is to attack any country for bringing drugs to the US it should be China. We all know that the reason for the attack is not about drugs but oil unfortunately kids like you cannot reason. Of recent trump pardoned Honduras president who was bringing drugs into the US is that not contradictory? All these childish comments and children on NL. |

This is major news US officials are now saying that President Nicolás Maduro has been captured and will be taken to the United States to face criminal charges, including drug‑related accusations. Let’s see how this develops and what evidence comes out in court. |

HacheNoire:I totally agree with you (double standards). Let the US try invade the brain box of Fentanyl. China is the world's leading manufacturer and exporter of Fentanyl precursor chemicals. Ironically, Fentanyl is the opioid responsible for the most overdose deaths in the United States. This says a lot about US's policies. |
