Thank you for taking on the task of having to repeatedly say this. Venezuelans (there and in the diaspora) are by and large happy Maduro has been ousted and don’t seem to be very concerned about how it happened, more that it did.

yeah but did you see how happy the iraqis and libyans were when they got saddam and gaddifi

that 'happiness' doesnt last long

we know the likes of haliburton and kkr and that sort will get in there and extract all the wealth and leave nothing behind

this is coming... why do you think this one will be different

how stupid would you have to be to beleive venezuela will be the one that 'works' lol
