    I’ll believe it when I see it. And not some bullshit ass AI generated photo that Trump will inevitably post. I mean real proof. Since when has Trump told the truth? And remember back in the day with Bush and his huge “mission accomplished” sign?

          That last tweet is definitely a lie lmao, though the next guy might let them stick a fat military base there for the favour.

            Unlikely, the working class supported the government and Maduro, it was only the fascist compradors that opposed him in significant numbers. The government still holds, and will likely place a backuo until the next elections. Coups don’t really work without popular support or more direct millitary intervention domestically (see Pinochet with Allende).

        I am still skeptical that this administration actually got Maduro. Like even if they were being completely honest, I need to see some video of Maduro before I believe that they got the actual guy.

          I hear you, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they perp walk him in a few hours. Fascists rely on their propaganda. Trump is doing a speech later today.

          There’s been alot of online speculation that either he was betrayed or cut himself a deal and willingly went

            Yeah I’m not even against speculation, but I’m not willing to incorporate into the “facts” part of my brain until I see the evidence. And I’ll also cop to it being a little bit of copium 🙃
