| 5. Author: hurricane_jimmy Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 09:47 Saw on BBC that Trump is claiming to have captured Maduro and his wife...quite the dramatic turn of events if true...amazing how weak these posturing strongmen actually are and they always tend to be toppled quite suddenly and decisively...the Venezuelans I encountered always said only about 1/3 of the country support Maduro and it`s genuinely the oldies who miss the "Golden Days" or Communism, so hopefully it`s a positive thing for the people!

| 8. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 10:21 Would imagine this will be over in a matter of hours not days. With Maduro out of the country any armed opposition will cease resisting. The fact that a majority of Venezuelaans wanted rid of Maduro will give whatever regime now takes over a type of legitimacy. For as much as Trump rolls over to Putin at every opportunity he`s not been afraid to neutralise Russian partners and allies. And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |

| 10. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 11:39 Tad Allagash, Sat 3 Jan 10:51 It’s all about the oil they stole from America! Nothing else 😂 And to think theres genuinely people out there who think Trump is good for the world as a whole….. Reply |
| 11. Author: Bletchley_Par Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 17:23 Trump press conference, this is what politics should be.  Reply |
| 12. Author: jake89 Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 17:47 Trump claims the US will run Venezuela for the time being. The guy can`t run a bath! What`s a bet there will be a hefty bill for the US being so kind-hearted? Still, I suppose this is a distraction from the President being an alleged kiddy fiddler and rapist. Reply |
| 13. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 17:57 They are also going to send their oil companies in, revamp the infrastructure and make the country lots of money…….not sure if he means Venezuela mind you! The guy is an utter lunatic, and folk like Bletchley just feed that ego - even if they are fishing on sites like this. Reply |
| 14. Author: Bletchley_Par Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 18:09 Topic Originator: Dave_1885 I`m not fishing, I just have a different opinion that seems alien to you. I will judge the Venezuela situation by the metric of how it improves the lives of it`s people, not a difficult bar to reach looking at the current state of that nation. I`ve only commented on the press conference which was blunt to say the least. Reply |
| 15. Author: hurricane_jimmy Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 18:35 Watched the "speech" in its entirety and it was genuinely painful to listen to...repeating the same thing 3 times and rambling away on irrelevant tangents about the national guard in Louisiana etc...the cognitive decline really is apparent with Dementia Don. That said, hopefully things can improve for the Venezuelan people and they can rid themselves of the corruption that plagued them, but really can`t see that becoming the case with Trump involved. Curious to see what this does to Cuba and have a feeling Iran will.be on the Orange Man`s radar. Reply |
| 16. Author: Wotsit Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 20:06 It didn`t take long for trump to admit that this is entirely about control over Venezuela`s oil infrastructure. The enemy travels by private jet, not by dinghy. Reply |
| 17. Author: Dandy Warhol Date: Sun 4th Jan 2026. 08:08 The puppet being installed, forget her name, gushes about her support for and from Netanyahu, ffs is anything not them? I don`t wanna go down like disco. Reply |
| 18. Author: ipswichpar Date: Sun 4th Jan 2026. 08:49 Art of the deal...... Reply |
| 19. Author: Bletchley_Par Date: Sun 4th Jan 2026. 10:09 The magic happens when Trump takes questions. We will be running Venezuela. We are going to rebuild the oil industry. The oil companies will pay for it, then be reimbursed. We are going to get the oil flowing. The people of Venezuela will be taken care of. The Venezuelan exiles can return home. I mean it`s up to you guys we can either have politics this way or the weapons of mass distraction (deployed within 45 minutes) way. Reply |
