Talk:Venezuela

This article and MOST articles reffering to countries other than United States are very wrong. Conservative information isn't very deep into the facts.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by portujoel5 (talk)

Then add information, it isn't locked. --Hojimachong^talk 16:03, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

actually, it IS locked. PFoster 16:23, 10 July 2007 (EDT)

'Discovered by Columbus'

Typical of the information pollution injected by the US State Department, this article's main source, into the knowledge base of the internet. Columbus never set foot on the South American continent. RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 15:28, August 31, 2025 (EDT)

So let me get this straight...

The Intro says:

Maduro continued those [socialist] policies also when the mostly liberal opposition alliance MUD, a coalition of liberal, Christian democratic and centrist parties, got a majority

Evidently we have a different understanding of the word "liberal", and who the good guys and the bad guys are. RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 13:32, October 10, 2025 (EDT)

Unprovoked aggression

This national humiliation of Venezuela will not be forgotten for a long, long time. It gives new meaning and understanding of the word "nationalism". Venezuelans - of whatever political stripe - who support it for a long time to come will largely be considered unpatriotic or traitors. RobS^{Recovering Republican} 18:15, January 3, 2026 (EST)

What's going to happen now? The successor organizations of USAID will begin flooding Venezuela with gay comic books to pacify the population? Ok, maybe they have to wait two years until the lame duck president is removed. RobS^{Recovering Republican} 18:22, January 3, 2026 (EST)

What do you think of news photos today of Venezeulans cheering the streets about this change, there and in Madrid?--Andy Schlafly (talk) 14:02, January 4, 2026 (EST)

Didn't see it. Sounds like Western-controlled MSM while suppressing the anger of Venezuelans.

Maduro was a bad guy - nobody disputes that except his hardcore supporters. However, that doesn't give Trump or the US the right to openly violate US & international law. "You broke it, you bought it". This won't be a quick "Shock and Awe" blitzkrieg. RobS^{Recovering Republican} 14:12, January 4, 2026 (EST)

• Thank you Andy Schlafly, that was my point in the context too of Latino votes in Midterms. Note. There are some 8 million Venezolanos ouside their home country, with 1.1 million in the US, their emotional celebration effects all Latinos. Not just Cubans and Nicaraguans who still feel the dictatorships pain. I spoke Latinos in the west coast too. This is huge!

We keep calling Venezuela "socialist", while Maria Corina Machado sits in parliament as leader of the opposition. Venezuela is actually more "democratic" than Ukraine, where the opposition is banned and in exile.

We seem to have a misunderstanding of "socialist"; Venezuela is not a single party state (like the US, it has corrupt, rigged elections). RobS^{Recovering Republican} 14:22, January 4, 2026 (EST)

• So far Trump isn't nt excited about her. But "Chavismo" above all is socialista Dianne3000 (talk) 14:28, January 4, 2026 (EST)

History of Venezuela

Some of this content could be folded into the History of Venezuela page as this page is likely to expand over the coming months and years. RobS^{Recovering Republican} 13:48, January 4, 2026 (EST)

The always wrong Mearsheimer, humiliated again LOL

Just brilliant

“

After royally humiliating himself on every aspect of Mideast policy analysis, beyond what I ever knew possible, here’s Professor John Mearsheimer extending the humiliation to his Venezuela analysis. Listen, it is so funny.[1]

Sorry, removing one guy isn't necessarily regime change. It ain't over.
