    I’d rather he’d do it to Russia. I think both Trump and Maduro are despicable evil people, but if we’re seeing deterioration of international laws already, I’d rather watch Putin being arrested and Russia to be put under western control. But of course, Trump won’t bite the hand that allegedly feeds him.

      Maduro is not a despicable person. Maduro is not an illegitimate leader. The Bolivarian revolution was widely supported among the people of Venezuela and freed millions from poverty, until USA sanctions demolished their economy. The express purpose of USA sanctioning, according to the US government is to, and I quote, “bring about hunger, desperation and overthrow of government”. USA+EU sanctions additionally murder half a million innocents per year according to recent serious sociologic and medical studies.

      By defending regime change under extreme economic sanctioning, you’re approving the murders of 38 million people over the past 50 years of economic sanctions, and directly supporting the CIA strategy of “impoverish them until they change their minds”.

        I disagree about Maduro, but I never supported US kidnapping him. I’d only approve of such intervention to Russia, which has completely different circumstances.

      Why even contemplate this when he rolled out a red carpet for him only a few months ago?
