Venezuelan strongman Nicolas Maduro escalated hostile rhetoric toward the U.S. this week, declaring in a public speech that his regime stands ready to "smash the teeth of the North American empire" amid rising tensions with Washington.
Maduro delivered the remarks during a televised rally, where he mixed threats with spectacle.
At one point, he sang a rendition of "Don't Worry, Be Happy," danced on stage, then urged Venezuelans to "fight back" against what he portrayed as U.S. aggression.
The performance appeared aimed at projecting confidence as his government faces growing international pressure.
Maduro also invoked nationalist symbolism, holding the sword of independence leader Simon Bolivar while calling on supporters to remain on "maximum alert."
He accused the U.S. of trying to destabilize Venezuela and undermine its sovereignty.
"In these times, things have to be different, but we must always stand like warriors, women and men," he said in a translated interpretation, according to the New York Post. "With one eye wide open — and the other one too — working, producing, building, keeping everything running, and ready to smash the teeth of the North American empire if necessary, from Bolivar's homeland."
The comments followed U.S. authorities seizing an oil tanker, what it called part of a shadow fleet of ships illegally transporting Venezuelan crude in violation of sanctions.

Balancing the Venezuelan national budget by state sponsored drug running has been taken off the table. 82 drug runners are DRT (dead right there.) And 22 boats sunk, and millions lost. And the Americans support it by 57 percent. LOL Maduro better learn to sing better because his day job is floundering.
You know that pic makes me wonder. When we blast their drug boats up do the sharks get high?
Maduro sounds like Baghdad Bob when he was loudly proclaiming “No Americans Are Anywhere Near Baghdad” when a US vehicle was passing behind him.

LOL! Anytime you feelin froggy, just jump, mofo.
But they still have a great party just because those boats "blowed up real good." Tasty body part hors d'oeuvres all over the place.
He be getting high on his own supply. Lil Nicky going to be swimming with the fishes.
My first thought when I read this article.
“At one point, he sang a rendition of “Don’t Worry, Be Happy,” danced on stage, then urged Venezuelans to “fight back” against what he portrayed as U.S. aggression.”
IOW - he did the Tampon Tim Walz pic at: https://www.usatoday.com/gcdn/authoring/authoring-images/2024/08/08/USAT/74721018007-xxx-mjs-harris-07-3-130320698.jpg?width=1320&height=740&fit=crop&format=pjpg&auto=webp)
...that’ll scare Trump and Hegseth for sure🤪
I'm waiting to hear that dolphins have been guiding our military to the drug boats.
Mother of all dentists😂
And 43% don’t, so dim constituency now includes Karen’s, illegals, trans, and drug runners🤔
I wonder if camera crews are racing to embed with the their beloved drug runners? From the perspective of the left this will have to spun as the evil Yankees taking out women and children. You know it’s coming. The left hates US that bad. The first jungle coke kitchen hit will be portrayed as a Venezuelan baby formula supply depot. You can’t hate the media enough.
Maduro had better walk it back while he still has the chance. He’s in the Western hemisphere & is fair game if he doesn’t follow the rules. What I see (am hearing) is that his country is in poor financial condition, altho it apparently has many possible tourist attractions. But I wouldn’t go there on a bet; not if you plan on returning to the USA unscathed.
“Say hello to my little friend”
Next dims will complain that Trump is causing inflation by causing price of illegal drugs to rise, and demand taxpayer subsidies 😎
That has to be one of the stupidest things I ever heard, assuming this is referring to recreational drugs, but if this is from a Democrat.....oh,well.
