Latin American leaders aligned with the White House’s pro-freedom stance celebrated the arrest and extradition of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro on Saturday morning, extended support to the exiled winner of the 2024 Venezuelan presidential election, Edmundo González.
Leftist leaders in the region, meanwhile, expressed alarm....Remaining Venezuelan authorities at press time have stated that they do not know Maduro and Flores’s whereabouts and it is not clear who is acting as head of state in that country.
Among the first to react was libertarian Argentine President Javier Milei, who reposted a speech he had delivered recently on the status of the Venezuelan socialist dictatorship with slogans he commonly uses in support of things he posts: “Liberty Advances,” the name of his political party, and “long live liberty, damn it!” his official campaign slogan.
In the speech President Milei shared, he described Maduro’s regime as “atrocious and inhuman” and called for its demise, celebrating President Donald Trump for taking action to stop Maduro’s drug trafficking and other illicit activities.
“The atrocious and inhuman dictatorship of narco-terrorist Nicolás Maduro extends a dark shadow over our region,” Milei says in the speech. “This danger and this shame cannot continue to exist on the continent or it will end up dragging us all with it. Argentina salutes the pressure of the United States and Donald Trump to liberate the Venezuelan people. The time for a timid approach to this matter has been exhausted.”

Latin American leaders aligned with the White House’s pro-freedom stance celebrated the arrest and extradition of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro on Saturday morning, extended support to the exiled winner of the 2024 Venezuelan presidential election, Edmundo González.
Leftist leaders in the region, meanwhile, expressed alarm and accused the United States of illicit military action in conducting airstrikes to ensure the safety of U.S. military personnel acting to detain Maduro and his wife, “first combatant” Cilia Flores. Remaining Venezuelan authorities at press time have stated that they do not know Maduro and Flores’s whereabouts and it is not clear who is acting as head of state in that country.
Among the first to react was libertarian Argentine President Javier Milei, who reposted a speech he had delivered recently on the status of the Venezuelan socialist dictatorship with slogans he commonly uses in support of things he posts: “Liberty Advances,” the name of his political party, and “long live liberty, damn it!” his official campaign slogan.
In the speech President Milei shared, he described Maduro’s regime as “atrocious and inhuman” and called for its demise, celebrating President Donald Trump for taking action to stop Maduro’s drug trafficking and other illicit activities.

Appearing on the Argentine network La Nación on Saturday morning, Milei listed the many reasons his government considered Maduro a massive international security threat.
“He is a narco-terrorist who has deep connections with, for example, with the Spanish socialist party, with Podemos, he has interfered electorally in Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, and Bolivia. He also receives funding from drug trafficking through the Cartel of the Suns,” Milei explained. “He has infiltration strategies through mass migration linked to cartels, he has alliances with woke NGOs to impulse radical leftism around the world, he has links with Iran, with Hezbollah, he has offered logistical support to Hamas.”
I only wanted to quote one paragraph for #2, but Breitbart has somehow made that difficult.
Cuba and Mexico, among others, have been given notice.
Here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson.
Speaking of scum bag lefties...

“...Over the past year, Trump’s foreign policy has been reckless, chaotic, self-serving, and unconstitutional. Congress should vote this week to reassert its authority on behalf of the American people before he oversteps again...”
.spit
Court-martial this traitor already !!!
Now sean penn needn’t fly so far to see his buddy....sav8ng the climate too!
Good job trump.
NY Post future headline: Sean Penn visits Maduro in pen.
Let him ramble. Free speech and all that. Every man has a right to make an ass (as in donkey) of himself. Nobody’s listening.
Nice!!! 👍
There was very little news about the buildup off the coast of Venezuela in US media. They ignored it as much as possible unless there was an issue they could somehow try to make it sound negative (such as hitting narco boats). Very few blogs about it either.
I had to depend on the spanish speaking blogs and news channels on YouTube for the best news. These anti-socialist blogs in spanish were coming out of Miami, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Dominican Republic and others including Colombia have shown the most respect towards our President and the US military than any of the American English news org including FoxNews.
If you listen to CNN or other US and European news since as far back as november you’d have thought the US is even worse than Russia itself.
Even more strange, the pro-Zelenski bloggers on Youtube in USA and Europe also condemn our President for taking action in our own hemesphere where Russia and China were forcing influence. The pro-Zelensky crowd actually hates Trump more than they hate the Russian invader himself, Putin.
What has been done in Venezuela by Trump HURTS Russia and actually helps Ukraine. These people have no credibility.
Unfortuately, the American people no longer know what socialism is. They’ve been dumbed down.
Where is the “panic”? The headline promised panic. Where is it?

Stop dictating to me what I’m supposed to think. You want to be a “crowd,” go right ahead. I support Ukraine, and I support Trump’s actions in Venezuela. But I’m an individual, not a “crowd”. Are you?
Enh. Headlines.
“”Remaining Venezuelan authorities at press time have stated that they do not know Maduro and Flores’s whereabouts””
That’s funny - someone should have turned the TV on for them..they could have watched their arrival in NYC...
Biden’s “20 Million” need to go home. They don’t need assylum or their due process coupons anymore.
I support Ukraine, and I support Trump’s actions in Venezuela.
So do I. I’m referring to specific people such as Deny the fat who downs our President in every Ukraine blog, moon face American who’s a democrat anti-republican masking as center and bashing Trump and others.
Stop dictating to me what I’m supposed to think
I have no idea what you think now or before in fact I don’t even know you and my comment was not even to you.
How about YOU stop trying to turn every comment by someone ALL ABOUT YOU.
Quite an over reaction to take something personal that was not even written for or about you in the first place.
It’s not all about you.
Agree. President Trump cut off those free-flowing billions that Biden was giving them and that’s all that matters to most of them, including Zelensky himself.
Russia’s all pissed off that their thug buddy Maduro has been removed. Now Ukraine is pissed off too?
Maybe we should see this as a positive, that Trump finally got them to agree on something. 😏
