Maduro just met with Chinese officials less than 9 hours ago.

What is China doing about this? Because they have massive investments in Venezuela.
.China can't do shit, Maduro case, is a case of karma, the same fate await Nigeria political bullies like APC and TINUBU.

You must really think very little about people on this forum. Otherwise how can you assume that they have all have forgotten how the whole world was kissing Putin’s ass as he was amassing massive troops at Ukraine's border, begging him that Ukraine was no match for Russia. Putin was a god and if he had not invaded and exposed how inferior Russia's military was, he'd have stayed a god to the world.
People like you on this forum were saying the "military operation" (NOT war, according to Putin) would be over within a week with Russians in Kiev.
You have developed amnesia about all that!
I expected you to counter me with facts, fyi crimea was annexed in 2014, Russian build of military started late 2021 and the invasion commences 2022. That means since 2014, Ukraine along with it's European allies had been building up weapon to go against Russia.

Quite condemnable.

Trump’s US violated the sovereignty of Venezuela. The US keeps wielding military might against lesser powerful countries. This is an act of bullying.

Is this how democracy works?

UN will sit and say nothing - such a useless organisation.

How can US captures the President of another country and attempt to force change of Government just because they can.

Why not move this military might against Russia which keeps destroying Ukraine per seconds.
Is Ukraine a State in US? What have you done when they (US) invaded Nigeria? Terrorists sympathizers everywhere, pretending they love Venezuela.

If you ever see yourself searching for something else other than the truth that lies bare before your eyes, the what you want is a lie, and what you will discover later is logically a lie as well.

If you are searching for the truth about what Hamas did in Oct 7, then you are seeking for a lie.

If you are searching for the truth about America’s steps against Izlamic jihadist in Nigeria, then you are searching for a lie.

If you are searching for the truth about China’s communism as being better than America democracy, then you are searching for a lie.

You are not researching. You are only searching for ways to substantiate your bias.
You haven't grasped 1% of the world around you. I dropped a quote of Manly P. Hall here, do you know who that is? I'm sure you are seeing that name for the first time. Anyway, what I want people to ponder on is the quote itself.

When I began uncovering the truth about this world (still in the process), I recall being skeptical, but remained open-minded. Some of you think you know how the world works, you don't .

I want to you to do your research and uncover the truth for yourself. There are no shortcuts and it takes time. It's like putting a puzzle together.

I referenced their "great work" in my initial response to you, do you know what that is? Find out for yourself, so that you can SEE things as they are and not what you are programmed to see.

3. Saudi and UAE in Yemen supporting different factions
4. China rehearsing action in waters around Taiwan
5. The old Ukraine vs Russia
6. Israel unfinished war vs Iran ruling government
7. Iran internal crises ( Civilian protest against government )
please add yours if I have missed any
Thailand vs Cambodia
RSF vs Sudanese Army
Nigeria vs bandits
Mianma military vs the people

President Trump is currently giving a press conference, describing the dramatic way Mudoro was captured. He built a fortress and was surrounded by a special military unit, they were READY! Yet non of that could save him. Trump has announced US will now be running Venezuela directly, not through a stooge. What Putin hasn't been able to do in decades US has done in one day!😅

I don't understand. Does it mean Trump can come to Nigeria and capture our president and his wife?

Wow! Just wow! It’s a crime to be weak in this world. If you’re not powerful, don’t stand in the way of the powerful.

Again, kudus to President Tinubu for opting for diplomacy in resolving Nigeria’s issue with Donald Trump. We must do everything not to ever be in the same situation as Venezuela.

Sadly, the ordinary folks in Venezuela will be the biggest losers of this regime change. The Americans will come in, milk the country dry and then abandon them to another American backed puppet dictator. For the common man, it’s the same story. Nothing ever gets better.
Nope its a crime to be stupid to think u can hold ur country hostage and run it like ur family business snd empowering drug cartels. Trump is not indecisive sleepy joe.

Obama invaded libya and killed gadaffi Trump was nice enough to arrest maduro and put him on trial b4 he is sentenced.

Libya is ancient history. US has improved a thousand fold since then. Trump is currently giving a press conference, describing the dramatic way Mudoro was captured. That he built a fortress and was surrounded by a special military unit, they were READY! Trump hinted at a new weapon that was used to disable everything including electricity and communication, isolating Mudoro and rendering command impossible

Same way Babangida removed Buhari - he isolated him and then it was surrender or surely be killed with all your loyalists.
This was actually a military coup

Now, to all those Nigerian Zionists who insult Islam day and night, what stops Saudi Arabia from sending a comando to capture you in Nigeria?

The era of capturing foreign nationals abroad to face your own local justice has begun.
Re: US Has Captured Venezuelan President Maduro & His Wife - Trump by Ghostagain: 7:28pm On Jan 03
What stops Russia from sending a commando to capture any critic anywhere?

Trump just opened the Pandora's box.
From now on, obey the laws of every country on earth no matter where you reside. Saudi might send a commando to kidnap you if you do z magic trick in Ghana. The punishment for that is beheading.

Saudis have a military capacity that Nigeria can only dream of.

Saudi Arabia has the capacity to send a commando backed by airstrikes to kidnap people in Nigeria.

Before, such actions would have been seen as "terrorist" and barbaric, but your beloved trump whom you praise for whatever he does, has just done this action and he has made it "the right thing to do".

Both Putin’s Russia and Trump’s US violated the international law.

US especially lacks moral right to condem Russia action in Ukraine as it stands.

Even Spain has just released a statement that countries should respect international laws.

Who are we without laws? Barbarians?
Now let me ask this question,if one country is having a serious issue against another country,,the later is not showing any care ,how would such issue be handled under international law?, like in this case ,the US has been complaining for long about countries in southern America Venezuela inclusive pushing drugs to the US n of Maduro even belonging to n leading a criminal drug cartel, I'm sure the US has some strong evidence,how should this kind of situation be decisively deal with under international law?
Re: US Has Captured Venezuelan President Maduro & His Wife - Trump by Ghostagain: 8:02pm On Jan 03
The USA invaded to take the oil. Drug trafficking was an excuse.

Don't believe me, believe the USA as they say they now own the oil and will sell it.

You trust USA's lies too much.

All the countries you just mentioned where once part of Russia and China, maybe you skipped history...that is not called bullying but forced return to motherland. If Americas NATO had not wanted to build a military base at the Russian border do you think the war would have started in the first place, you don't even know the GENESIS of the war.

On the other Taiwan was part of the Chinese until they were seeking a pullout through the support of America who keeps shipping weapons to them just as they are doing with Ukraine.

I hope I have open your eyes to see the real enemy of this world, If not I cannot help you any further just do your own research in peace..

See ehn, the unprovoked Russia and China are the reason the Nuclear war hasn't started and Trump is hell bent on creating problems that will eventually lead to it. Anyways, it was prophecied that he will bring about Americas destruction so I am not surprised.

Google TRUMP SAID THIS CHRISTMAS WILL BE THE LAST CHRISTMAS when Trump spoke on Christmas day and tell me what he said correctly.







Why do you people carry your Nigerian politcal "I like Tinubu, I like Peter Obi" mentality everywhere you go thinking everybody reason like you? I just started verifiable facts you can check yourself with your phone, what has liking Russia or China or America got to do with facts?
A little history on the subject.

When Chavez died in 2013, he handpicked Marudo as his successor. Marudo inherited a country that was collapsing economically and made it worse (much worse). By 2017, 76 out of 84 processing plants in Venezuela were paralyzed (New York Times article: Once a Cash Cow, Venezuela's Oil Company Now Verges on Collapse).

Venezuela's oil production fell to 20% of it's total capacity. And no, this didn't happen because of US sanctions. USA hadn't even sanction them yet. Before 2019, US sanctions only targeted INDIVIDUAL Venezuela officials; human rights abusers, narco traffickers, and corrupt elites.

Venezuela was still free to sell it's oil, which they did. The first oil sanctions only came in 2019 under Trump's first presidency. He basically imposed an embargo on PDVSA (Venezuelan state-owned oil and natural gas company). But this hurt USA's oil company's in the Gulf too because they lost access to Venezuela's heavy crude that their refineries were specifically built to handle.

So why sanction Venezuela if American oil companies were going to get hurt? Well, it was during the time Maduro suspended elections and was creating a dictatorship in Venezuela. The sanctions weren't about oil, they were about politics. it was a move to support the opposition in Venezuela, which had won the election that Maduro refused to accept.

Six years later, Maduro is completely broke and running out of options. They now rely on drug trafficking and illicit activities to survive.

Marudo, more than Trump, funnily enough, desperately wants the USA to establish their oil operations in Venezuela. Listen to this, Two weeks ago, Marudo offered Trump all of Venezuela's resources including all the oil. They also agreed to reduce ties with China and Russia. Venezuela's Maduro offered the US his nation's riches to avoid conflict

SO IF IT WAS ABOUT OIL, TRUMP WOULD HAVE TAKEN MARUDO'S OFFER. BUT IT DIDN'T. SO NO, IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT OIL! Oil might be a piece of the story, but it's not the whole story.

No care about international law. Might is right. This is the way the USA maintains its hegemony.

Unilaterally attacking and invading a country?
Kidnapping the president of a country and his wife? Total violation of sovereignty and human rights.

What will become of Venezuela now? And the USA gets away with this? The law of the jungle is in full sway. The USA is just deceiving and preaching to countries about democracy and the rule of law.

Hear what the Trump you are defending said about his mission after the attack on Venezuela:

While speaking about his ambitions to rebuild Venezuelan infrastructure, which he called "old" and "rotted," Trump said he'll get the oil flowing and will sell it to several countries. He then said the wealth would "go back to the people" of Venezuela, as well as to the U.S.

https://edition.cnn.com/world/live-news/venezuela-explosions-caracas-intl-hnk-01-03-26

Now, comprehend again and tell me it is not about the OIL.

He even boasted to sell a sovereign nation's oil to other countries like he owned the oil, as in what manner of effontry is that?

I speak with facts from confirmed sources, you can fact check it, I have provided the link above.
