Venezuela on the brink of collapse as protesters reject contested election result

In Venezuela, the streets pulse with the dissent following a hotly contested election that saw President Nicolás Maduro claim victory amidst accusations of fraud.

Across the nation, protesters have taken to the streets, with their voices becoming a chorus of defiance against a backdrop of electoral uncertainty.

The opposition cries foul, alleging manipulation and daring to claim their own triumph in the face of adversity.

President Maduro, feeling the pressure mounting from the swelling tide of discontent, has bowed to demands for a Supreme Court audit of the election process.

Internationally, patience wears thin as the United States and other global powers await transparent disclosure from Venezuela's electoral authorities.

The world watches closely, echoing concerns over the election's integrity and its compliance with democratic norms.

"The 2024 presidential election in Venezuela falls short of international standards for fairness," declares a spokesperson from the US State Department, amplifying the growing chorus of skepticism.

The Venezuelan people's frustrations and concerns with the government resonates louder than ever.

“Siding with Commies against freedom fighters now?”

Who are the good guys here? The government that wants to run their own country, or the Globalists who want to SHUT DOWN OIL?

Answer: Neither, but the Globalists are VERY QUICKLY destroying my country (the US), so, at this point, I really don’t care how they’re stopped, as long as THEY ARE STOPPED.

Neoliberalism/Neoconservatism trumps Marxism/Communism.

The CIA is enforcing the Monroe Doctrine by attempting to put leaders in place who are friendly to the US. It doesn't matter if those leaders are leftists, communists, fascists, anarchists, democrats, conservative, or liberal. All that matters is that they have to bow the knee to the US.

Milei is someone they like. Maduro, not so much.

From what I have heard, Trump didn't want to bother with Venezuela while he was president so he put Bolton in charge there. It was Bolton who wanted to overthrow Maduro. Bolton can always be guaranteed to be on the wrong side of any policy decision.

I'm no fan of Maduro, but I'm also no fan of the CIA interfering in South America so that those countries no longer have any trust in us and turn to China and the Soviet Union for support while sending their criminals and psychos our way.

Well... the CIA used to actually do some good back in the day. They covertly acted against the communists. Now... not so much. We have been compromised. And natch, that loss of trust fit right in with the agenda of the cretins in China and the Soviet Union. Convenient, eh?

“ I’m no fan of Maduro…”

Of course you are.

It’s like how they all say, I’m personally against abortion.
