Maduro was not Venezuela's president. He's not their leader. He's a criminal that inherited the country from another criminal, Chavez, who, as a matter of fact, tried a real coup in the early 90's and managed to get in power a few years later because the oil barons needed to make the price of oil to go up. Remember how the whole thing in Venezuela and turmoil in the middle east started happening at almost the same time?

Venezuela actually played a key role in making the price of oil go up after it had collapsed in the late 1990s.

Oil Price Collapse (Late 1990s)
In 1998, oil prices were very low, falling temporarily below $10 per barrel. This price crisis was partly a result of:
  • Global oversupply: There was an imbalance of supply and demand, with production outpacing demand.
  • Venezuela's policy at the time: Under pressure from its state oil company, Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA), the government pursued a policy of maximizing oil volumes and disregarding OPEC quotas, which contributed significantly to the oversupply and price crash.

Oil Price Recovery (Late 1990s/Early 2000s)
The situation reversed with the election of Hugo Chávez as president in December 1998. His new government, along with the governments of Mexico and Saudi Arabia, successfully promoted a new understanding within OPEC to adhere to production cuts.
  • Coordinated production cuts: The new Venezuelan oil minister traveled to other oil-producing countries and secured commitments to reduce production.
  • Price increase: These actions caused the price of oil to immediately go up, from an average of $12.28 per barrel in 1998 to $17.47 per barrel in 1999, and higher still in 2000.
Therefore, Venezuela's policy shift was instrumental in the price increase that occurred at the end of the 1990s and the beginning of the 2000s, not earlier in the late 1990s during the period of low prices.

If you are trying to educate LotusBud, it is not going to work. She has a mental illness that will not allow her to face The Truth.

Your insight is into the situation is valuable, though. Other people, like me, appreciate it.

I told my oldest sister about your opinion and thoughts (as a South American citizen).

But the US did it wrong @MANCID RILKO

They should have conducted the raid with the open blessing of the current Venezuelan regime (who actually supported the removal of Maduro) and then had him tried in Venezuela by Venezuelans. sending Maduro to the US made it look like regime change by the US which doesn't look very good
There was widespread support to remove Maduro by the current Venezuelan regime.

But the US did it the wrong way Reggie

Maduro should bectried by Venezuelans within Venezuela

Senile @Joe, could you repeat that?

I understand. You're a lazy bitch and, as a Leftist, a total hypocrite.

She is such a retard.

I am going to go downstairs and get some fruit to snack on.

I cannot find the international law that gives me the authority to do this, but I am pretty sure it is legal.

Thanks, I remember reading about the roots of the downfall of Venezuela being the low price of oil and I thought it'd be nice to remember how it all started

Brazil's current government is Venezuela's close ally and of course, they were against the whole thing

Since we have so many refugees here and their plight is widely known, many of those who vote for the left still think Maduro had to go, even though they still hate Trump.

From the reports seems like Maduros fall was an inside job.

The current regime gave Trump the green light to go ahead and remove Maduro

He wasn't even liked by his own regime

Mind you doesn't bode well for any future government

Must be an incredible amount of backstabbing all the time.

Under those conditions how can there ever be a stable government ?

You're the hypocrite, you tool. I didn't fucking vote for Biden. And I didn't support him taking a contract out on any foreign leader. You, on the other hand, are a goddambn fascist, who looks the other wy when righties do fascist shit, but not when supposed "lefties" do the same shit.

You need to sit down and shut up.

These are serious situations that are being discussed and you are not a serious person.

Amigo, I doubt you know Fascism from you dead asshole. Add in the fact that Fatso is a child molester. Proves he is a almost dead
Actually there was one historical figure whose crimes against children didn't go unnoticed @Seamajor. Even under a totalitarian regime it was still considered unacceptable:



But unlike Trump Lavrenty Beria didn't get away with his transgressions.

He was executed & rather brutally.

Why is the right afraid of owning what they believe in? @Reggie_Essent

Here is AI's definition of fascism:

Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian political ideology characterized by extreme nationalism, a powerful dictator, militarism, suppression of opposition, and the subordination of individual rights to the state's interests, opposing democracy, liberalism, and communism.

Good Lord! Are you denying that the inventor of Fascism as it is understood today was the Italian Communist Benito Mussolini?

Gee! All the textbooks must be wrong.
