The Vatican reportedly sought asylum for Maduro in Russia, according to the Washington Post. According to an international newspaper, the cardinal mediated contacts with the US and stated that Russia would be willing to grant asylum to the Venezuelan leader to avoid violence.
@Grebgreb@hexbear.net do you want to watch the halo cut content video today before the movies?
President Maduro’s son revealed that his father sent a message to the Venezuelan people: “Don’t be sad, we are well, we are fighters.” This was announced by the lawyer for the presidential couple, who were kidnapped in the US following the vile US attack a week ago, on January 3rd.
I think Milei tried to privatize YPF but it didn’t pass due to pressure from congress and the unions.
I think between Padrino (Military Faction) and Diosdado (Chavista “Radical” Faction) the US prefers Delcy since she is a moderate like Maduro.
I confess that the first official statement made me suspicious, but after delving into what’s happening, I’ve come to a conclusion and a hypothesis (as all analysts are doing). First, the conclusion is that the betrayal occurred. Scott Ritter, a former military officer and fugitive from the US government, has said that it’s impossible for Delta Force to have carried out something like this on its own and that this type of operation requires a great deal of planning. It was, at the very least, a failure of Venezuelan intelligence.
Second, my hypothesis is that the betrayal didn’t come from the Chavista leadership. I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out that the traitors were killed during the operation itself. I think the leadership is aware of this and is buying time.
I believe that the continuity of Venezuela as a country now rests on Delcy Rodríguez’s shoulders, so that it doesn’t end up like Libya, Iraq, or Syria. She has to juggle the sword of Damocles hanging over her from the North and find those who betrayed the government before they stab her in the back.
The dismissal of General Marcano Tábata suggests that investigations are underway. It can’t be easy being Delcy right now. For the time being, those of us who call ourselves anti-imperialists and want a world without Western barbarism have no choice but to stand with her. And what are her theories? Nobody knows for sure what happened, so any reasonably argued idea is valid.
President of Venezuela, Delcy Rodriguez, hold another phone call with Lula and Petro yesterday. She thanked them for the support and aid they have been giving, seems like she also talked with the PM of Spain.
I read online that some Venezuelans/Chavistas have been saying that the US plan probably was to kidnap/kill Maduro, his wife, Delcy, Diosdado and Padrino, but they failed to find the others. They were also saying that if there was a betrayal or something, Delcy probably wasn’t part of it since her first action as President was to change her security personnel for people who were closer with Chavez.
Brazil will cease to represent Argentina’s interests in Venezuela, where Javier Milei’s government has had no diplomatic presence since August 2024. Italy will take over the Argentine embassy. >The decision was made after the Argentine leader published several posts and reposts on social media with direct and indirect criticism of Brazil and President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
One of these was a post in which Milei celebrated the capture of Nicolás Maduro with a video that ended with a photo of Lula embracing the Venezuelan leader. Another post by Milei that upset the Brazilian government was an image published by the Argentine after José Antonio Kast’s victory as Chile’s president-elect, which showed South America divided in two, with Argentina depicted as futuristic and Brazil as a large favela. Brazil’s economy is approximately 243% larger than Argentina’s. The poverty rate in Brazil is 19%, while in Argentina it is 42%.
“Sorry but democracy only works for white people, thats why we call Cuba a dictatorship despite the fact there are literal elections to pass laws like same-sex marriage”
Chavismo was never anti-american, they are anti-imperialism and in favor of peaceful coexistance between the US and LatAm.
US.
Jan 23, 2019: The United States officially recognized opposition leader Juan Guaidó as the legitimate interim president of Venezuela, declaring Nicolás Maduro’s government illegitimate. In immediate response, Nicolás Maduro announced he was severing all political and diplomatic ties with the U.S. and ordered all American diplomatic personnel to leave the country within 72 hours. The U.S. initially refused to comply with the expulsion order, stating Maduro lacked the legal authority to issue it.
I think Ethiopia could be a little pissed off that the Saudis are going to fund Somali groups against Somaliland, but I doubt they will do anything about it considering they have a lot of interal problems and Eritrea (who spent decades taking money from Israel only to literally kick them out and never speak with the Israelis again) next to them.
Some journalists were saying this is all propaganda to help Trump during the mid-terms.
“I have seen in the faces of mothers the face of a woman, my mother, when my father was murdered. In the faces of the wives of the fallen, I have seen the face of my mother, who also lost a husband. And in the faces of the girls and boys who lost their parents, I have seen the faces of Jorge and myself when, as children, we also lost our father, who was viciously murdered. I tell you that these wounds will remain with us forever.”
“Honor and glory to the men and women who died in combat! No one surrendered here! There was combat here, and there was combat for this homeland!”
Makes me wonder if the Saudis will finance Somalia/Khatumo/Puntland against Somaliland.
I guess the entire STC army was just a few militias and mostly UAE soldiers and mercs because in less than a month they got destroyed by the Saudis and their allies.
The STC leadership escaping to Somaliland just shows how much they are close with “israel”.
I’ll join blorp stream.
