There's a very large Venezuelan ex pat community in Spain. I can assure you the majority are not celebrating. At the very least they are scared for what the future holds and probably quite rightly feel that the country is about to have a pro US puppet installed in order to steal their mineral wealth. |
How do you know the majority are not celebrating? Did you take a snap poll hours after the event? |  | | |

Yer, OK...
Who wouldn't be celebrating the thought of a pro Trump puppet facilitating the theft of your country's mineral wealth  | | | |

I’m in Madeira and at least a dozen cars driving round with Venezuelan flags with Líbre Venezuela on them so guess these people have more skin in the game than those pontificating here |
So were many Iraqis after the fall.of Saddam. But it didn't and still doesn't make the actions leading up to the war right. |  |

Stop making it up, when zero every day Venezuelans are benefitting from the countries wealth whatsoever. Do some research about their living conditions over there.
I’ve seen it with my own eyes in terms of the celebrations from their expat communities. If you know anything about the regime they were under and how their population was being treated maybe you’d be more informed. You’re conflating the two separate things. | |

Well I saw plenty yesterday afternoon over here driving around with flags out of their windows beeping their horns for a start. There’s a quite a lot of footage of it around, do some basic research about the thug who wasn’t elected in the first place and was oppressing them, the last administration talked about it plenty as well. | |

Argh, I'm making it up cause it doesn't go along with your pro Trump narrative
Maduros unpopularity does not mean that Venezuelans are celebrating their country being handed over to a pro Trump puppet in order to steal their mineral wealth,surprisingly enough
I know plenty about Venezuela, thanks | | | |

Of course you do. The fact you keep mentioning Trump and not Maduro is just making it ever more obvious. | |

Are you suggesting there was some kind of public support for Maduru over there with their quality of life post the last sham election? “The majority are not celebrating it” doesn’t really go along with the eye test in their communities. | |

In a good day to buty news, the UK and France are bombing IS targets in Syria tonight. |
Uppy for the reference and not the bombing! As mentioned before, we're not shy of throwing our weight around when we think we're right either.
It does seem as though we're heading towards 'might is right' again. We could do with some collaborative international rules-based order now, but of course people have been attacking and undermining international collectives and organisations for years now. Mostly by those on the right who have held power, but there have been some useful idiots on the left too.
It's very easy to see why people like Trump don't want international organisations that may be able to hold some sway, even if they can't fully hold him to account. Unfortunately, it looks like we need to tool up and we'll need reliable partners. Ironically, the need for a European army may be growing when there was no need nor firm plans to have one previously. |  |

Yes to tooling up - i dont know how.many more warnings we need before this is treated urgently. | |

I was responding about then Venezuelan people from what had been seen myself and even Joe had further afield.
Not your weird Twitter algorithms that you keep putting on here. Let me guess Canada next or something? | |

The level of dishonest argument being used in this thread is alarming.
Deflecting from the actual appalling conduct of the US and Trump, by claiming that people are denying that Venezuelans will be glad to see the back of Maduro.
We all recognise that. No one says otherwise. Many will celebrate that, some wont. Many who celebrate it will be also extremely concerned about becoming a US puppet state.
It doesnt make what happened right, nor give any grounds for confidence in a future which is to be based on US rule and pillaging of resources- byt Trump's own public admission. Nor address the issue of principle, which is very obviously that if we accept that large powerful nations have free reign to decide which regimes they like and to take them over, the world is heading to a very bad place indeed. | |

It's hard to tell really isn't it? I mean the words are coming out of your man's own mouth ffs, and he's following up on them. There's not really any reliable authority left now, is there? If that floats your boat... |  |

Because it was a reply to my post but had nothing to do with my interaction with someone else to whether Maduru’s removal was welcomed by the Venezuelan people or not. | |

My guy? No, I don’t think it’d hard to tell if America will invade Canada, if that was the question. Just like I don’t think the Democratic Party will be banned by executive order either. | |
