Gunfire reported at Presidential Palace in Caracas tonight. Coup attempt?

A lot of scores being settled right now.
And now comes the part of the regime change America has 0% experience in pulling off successfully and we'll watch Veneuela collapse into the next Iraq/Al Qaeda/IS wartorn hell-hole and innocent civilians will pay the price.
Venezuela was primed for revolution even before the USA pulled its little stunt, tbh. Maduro lost his last election so bad that they couldn't even make up any fake polling numbers to justify it: all the polling places got together and shared numbers showing Gonzalez won by a landslide, and that's even AFTER Maduro tipped the scale by banning Machado from participating.
BTW, despite her flattery of him, Trump refused to openly back Machado, due to her being a brown woman.
Good.
Volunteering to send your whole family to caracas to enjoy the goodness from the front row?
Unfortunately I don't have the right, that would be unjust foreign interference, but from what little I know of the situation it sounds like Caracas itself might be turning on the palace. Which is good.
'Murricans really love seeing brown people die, right?
Like to see White Dictators die, mostly. They're coming for Rodriguez.
You know, you should start with the big, orange one then. Maybe clean up your own home before getting on that high horse.
Americans have tried to kill Trump on several occasions. You can buy 8645 and 8647 T-Shirts, even. We hate that fucking guy.
We hate that fucking guy.
Reality doesn't agree. How come he is your president, then? He (supposedly) got there legitimately.
Because external forces, including a group of billionaires as well as Russia and China, held enough social media campaigns to convince 9 million people who voted for Biden in 2020 to sit at home in 2024, resulting in the second Trump term. Since then, things have rapidly declined in the USA and Trump's support has dropped to new lows.
Oh, I see. Of course it was some external agent inflicting this on you. It was some evil cabal of foreigners! After all, how a country so intelligent and civilized could have done that to themselves?
Trump also believes there was no foreign interference in our elections.
Pot calling kettle back? The USA meddles in other countries' internal affairs for as long as it has existed. The USA has couped dozens of countries, destroyed dozens of others. I happen to live in a big country that is Venezuela's neighbor. Your warmongering will eventually try to destroy our democracy again, as you already has done in 1964. So, sorry if I don't feel bad for you, when you say your election was rigged.
I'm not talking about any of that, and for the record, I agree with you on each point. But the reality is that Russia and China have been waging information war on us, and it worked.
I'm not saying there aren't 77 Million racist stupid assholes in the USA, but for you to pretend Cambridge Analytica, to pretend TikTok, to pretend Tankies and other Psyops, don't exist really shows how low your credibility is.
Psyops exist, but they can only take root among stupid/disenfranchised/desperate people. Your contry is circling down the drain for decades, at least since Reagan. Own up to your mistakes collectively instead of blaming others. Clean up your own shit before assaulting other contries. Maybe, maybe if you fix your own country you suddenly may even see that there is no need or legitimacy to act as world police. Is it too much to ask?
