CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — At least seven explosions and low-flying aircraft were heard around 2 a.m. local time Saturday in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas. The government accused the United States of attacking civilian and military installations in multiple states.

Venezuela’s government, in the statement, called on its supporters to take to the streets.
“People to the streets!” the statement said. “The Bolivarian Government calls on all social and political forces in the country to activate mobilization plans and repudiate this imperialist attack.”
The statement added that President Nicolás Maduro had “ordered all national defense plans to be implemented” and declared “a state of external disturbance.” That state of emergency gives him the power to suspend people’s rights and expand the role of the armed forces.
Goddamn war criminals and a country full of pathetic cowards who are too weak to put a stop to their criminal mafia regime. Absolutely disgusting!
Some of us are voting progressive and protesting/boycotting at every opportunity while still trying to make a wage to live on so I dont really appreciate the global hate. I get it, but I dont appreciate it. (edit: spelling)
At some point we will have to pick up pitchforks.
Unfortunately, I’m afraid that this point will never come - and that’s why I’m pissed off. I don’t think anyone can complain about that, because you are represented by a criminal, a rapist even.
In fact, I think you should see that something is being done as soon as possible, because it is obvious that your regime is in the process of establishing a totalitarian state - and then you will have to reckon with repressive measures like in Russia. Why do you think ICE has a budget that corresponds to the military spending of a medium-sized country? Well, it’s obviously a secret police force that will soon no longer be harassing only foreigners.
I’m sorry to be so blunt, but no one other than the US citizens themselves can eliminate this plague, because you have an invincible army and nuclear weapons - all in the hands of that orange monster and his ruthless henchmen.
And a pedophile. And a murderer. And he pees and poops himself.
Yes, unfortunately, it is hardly possible to list everything that disqualifies this inhuman being, so I have limited myself to criminal and rapist. Oh, what about the more than $400 million he still owes the state of New York for massive financial fraud, for which he should have gone to prison for decades? Never mind, I’m getting carried away again with details of his criminal career…
As a matter of fact, it turns out that it is NOT impossible, it just takes a long time to say:

Granted, that one and its twin list only cover trump’s two terms in office, but it’s a start.
I just wonder what else it will take for your obviously criminal president to be removed from office.
I mean, you are ruled by organized crime: the state not only protects a pedophile ring, but makes it possible in the first place; you invade sovereign states; your elite enriches itself to an unprecedented extent at the expense of the citizens; and masked thugs roam the country, randomly attacking people with the wrong skin color. And these are just some of the completely obvious crimes committed by your government.
I realize that there are many opponents of this regime, but the fact remains: your pedophile president and his henchmen are getting away with whatever they do because there is no serious resistance, such as a general strike. Individual days when people take to the streets will not be enough to put an end to this, because your media is controlled by those who have been shamelessly exploiting your people for a long time. And yet: US citizens are putting up with it – I don’t even want to imagine what it will take for Americans to finally throw off their yoke.
I’m sorry to have to say it in such broad terms, and I am aware that there is resistance, but your regime not only exploits US citizens, it is a danger to the entire world.
Unfortunately, voting has never been an effective way to channel political power. Without serious organization behind them, voters are as easy to disregard as farts in the wind.
If you feel powerless, find or make a group within your community who can band together to amplify your voices. Groups get attention, while individuals - even seas of individuals like the No Kings protests - get ignored.
You’re literally not doing enough.
Thanks, very helpful
Boycott anything from the US. Hit the billionaires in their pockets. That’s what’s driving this.
Hopefully Venezuela can finally recall all of their nuclear engineers and astronauts that came to our countries to increase the crime with their Caribbean vibes
