Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s comrades in the Democratic Socialists of America want deposed Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro returned to power.
The Democratic Socialists of America put out a lengthy statement demanding “the return of President Nicolas Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores to Venezuela.”
Meanwhile, the DSA is starting a “join our “Hands Off Venezuela” to get the “imperialist” United States out of the socialist, oil-rich country.
“Solidarity with the people of Venezuela! Solidarity with the Bolivarian Revolution!”, separate DSA International Committee policy statement says.
In its statement on the removal of Maduro, the DSA claims the Trump administration has started “an illegal war” against Venezuela.
“This is a nakedly imperialist war to install a US puppet government that will give Venezuela’s oil resources over to US corporations and to force US hegemony over Latin America — the new `Trump Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine. This war is illegal both under international law and the laws governing the declaration of war within the United States,” the left-wing group’s statement says.
“Trump’s war has nothing to do with drug trafficking. There is no substantiated evidence that high-level members of the Venezuelan government are `narco-terrorists.’ Yet, the Trump administration is using this claim as the pretext for this illegal war.”
DSA likened the US military’s action to the “failed” war against Iraq, claiming it will only “impoverish the people of Latin America.”
DSA demands:
A return of Maduro to Venezuela and restoration of diplomatic relations with the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela — the Maduro-led regime
An immediate end to “military violence” against Venezuela and a total withdrawal of all US forces and operations from the Caribbean
Ending sanctions against Venezuela and suspending the failed “war on drugs”
A US foreign policy centered on peace, multilateralism, and respect for national sovereignty and self-determination

The enemy within.
Arrest him, toot sweet.
SEEMS LIKE TRUMP HIT 2 TARGETS WITH ONE STONE...
CERTAINLY SEEING MAMDANI’S TRUE COLORS REALLY FAST.
A sphincter says what?
Not that it is any revelation but we are seeing is that Mandi had no intention of running for mayor to run NYC. He think this is some national level position that allows him to rule the world.
I love it! The more he neglects NYC, the sooner the elites who live there can suffer.
Is there a thread I missed re a betting pool on mandamni being arrested for unspecified crimes in the very near future?
I can only state that I hope fibby still has patriots on board to help such a scenario (my other hand remains full, however).
Dear ‘dsa’..........🖕
Am I forgetting something?
I don’t know how we can get rid of these commie bastards and still honor the constitution.
But we have to figure it out.
Two words......and it ain’t “happy birthday”
did they demand a fleet of socialist ponies, too? ... and free Purina Pony Chow to feed them with?
“Am I forgetting something?”
a fleet of free socialist ponies and free Purina Pony Chow to feed them ...
Felix Unger?
I hope when Maduro was arrested, they read him his Miranda rights. If not, it’s a perfect excuse for a leftwing judge to order the immediate release of the tyrant.
Edited for clarity/accuracy.
Of course they do. Maduro is a democratic socialist, just like them.
They are so predictable. This an iteration of the SDS of the 60’s. I remember them on campus. They used a “Socratic” method of exposition that was nothing of the sort. It was a tactic the brainwashed nincompoops used on those who, much like the trans-victims today, confuse thought for ideology.
Nothing changes. The longer I live, and it is getting truly long at this point, I can see that humanity is incapable of change without higher power.
But, the fight goes on.
What did y’all think the Monroe Doctrine meant? Vibes? Papers? Essays?
I wonder,
When Trump called Maduro what they talked about:
I really think (pure speculation) that a call like that probably entailed things like:
(Trumps thinking)
—Leave now and you can have whatever money and possessions you can carry out of Venezuela.
—Stay and we’ll oust you.
—Make sure Maduro leaves the conversation knowing we know where he is at all times and have the capabilities to “take him out.”
—And, if he puts up a fight, his nor your wife’s safety will be a high priority for us when we come.
(Maduros thinking)
—You’re bluffing. That’s all he really has left. What can the guy do? Trump is more show (form) than (function) and let’s “hope” the US don’t come.
Then once little green men with US flags on their helmet and uniform were all over the map, Maduro made a very good decision, don’t fight back too much. Otherwise, he might not have a hand or thumb left to give the thumbs up and peace sign.
I really wish we could hear that conversation the two had a month ago!!!
As to Venezuela, the cartels and drugs, bla bla bla.
You can find people in the US government selling arms that ended up in the hands of Mexican cartels: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATF_gunwalking_scandal
Most the drug money is laundered in big multi-billion dollar North American banks and it’s been going on for DECADES: https://justiceinmexico.org/wachovia-bank-accused-of-laundering-billions-from-mexican-drug-cartels/#:~:text=04/02/11%E2%80%94After,stated%20a%20recent%20Guardian%20article.
Some drugs like meth and pot, the US is one of the world’s biggest producers of: https://www.justice.gov/archive/ndic/pubs13/13853/product.htm#:~:text=Illegal%20methamphetamine%20production%20occurs%20in,that%20supply%20U.S.%20drug%20markets.
You can use a topic like that and twist it anyway you want.
The whole cartel and drug issue, IMHO is the BS moral justification for the masses so they feel good about it.
Here is what I know for sure:
It’s Mexico that is THE major route from Central and South America drugs come through.
It is Columbia, Peru and Bolivia, where the bulk of cocaine comes from, and Mexico produces some other illicit drugs. In actual market value, only about 5% of “certain” drugs come from Venezuela (it’s really a minor player).
What is it really?
—Venezuela is one of the world’s larger oil producers and sits on some of the largest proven reserves.
It’s NOT the current production: https://www.voronoiapp.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.voronoiapp.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9c4b9262-cd5c-4087-a3e3-6264b24af65a.webp&w=1080&q=85
It’s the proven reserves. A very telling map of Venezuela’s significance: https://www.visualcapitalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/worlds-biggest-crude-oil-reserves-by-country-1.jpg
—Venezuela under Chavez (Maduro’s predecessor) aligned themselves with the Russians.
A very bad idea now that a new sheriff is in town.
Kinda funny though. What happened with that whole national “sovereignty” idea we kept talking about regards Ukraine and Russia not having a right to go in and fix a problem they saw?
What happed with that “war of aggression” where he who shoots first is at fault?
Do I disagree with taking Maduro out? I don’t know about the morality of it all, but it surely does benefit our national interests, and it was executed masterfully.
