Maduro steals election in Venezuela.

[CrazyTrader55]

Despite all polls showing that Maduro would lose -- POOF! Magically he got enough votes to maintain power, and it didn't even look that close, 51% to 44%. Democrats here in this country are taking notes.

You can't vote your way out of Communism!



Guess they got just enough "mail in votes" to get it done.

LOL....FJB and FKH have probably already sent out their congratulations.

In 2016 all the polls showed Hillary would win and POOF Trump did.

China and Russia have their satellites in Americas orbit and they will maintain them. Worse for us, they are going to expand them.

When Reagan was in power, he was wise enough to ensure that nations in Americas orbit were heavily influenced. The CIA were very active in these countries and Russia was left out of the game except for Cuba.

What happened?

Two things...first Reagan broke the law and him and Bush I should have been jailed for what they did in Panama and for selling arms to our enemies.

Second, we moved our focus from our part of the world to the Middle East. While we were spending trillions in Iraq and Afghanistan, China was spending their money in Latin and South America helping those countries and gaining influence in them.

Yep.

Meanwhile, we were pouring trillions into trade with China, making them more and more powerful, while ignoring economic opportunities in South America.

As with pretty much all of our problems, this is a self-inflicted wound.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Wow, just like Biden in 2020.

Yet you support war in Ukraine even though it’s in Russia’s orbit. Hypocrite much?

Very likely you’ve accepted US government propaganda.

Thats because you did not steal enough. And in 2000 the same thing.

 

[Care4all]

Wow, just like Biden in 2020.

Biden lead in all the polling against Trump for at least 6 consecutive months prior to the election, and won in the voting against trump in 2020s presidential election.

Venezuelan authorities claim Maduro was reelected

Venezuela's National Electoral Council (CNE) announced in the wee hours of Monday that President Nicolás Maduro Moros had been ratified for another six years in office. However, the main opposition candidate Edmundo González Urrutia posted on X that “the results are undeniable” because “the...

Even Venezuela's neighbors are calling foul on this.

Indeed.

America should have developed partnerships with Central and South American companies. They'd make a little bit less but they'd have Christian, capitalist nations and wouldn't have to lose their IP in the process. Socialism would have been wrestled away from the mouths of those in these nations.

They would be more self sufficient and innovative instead of the loop they are in now.

Alas, the Western geniuses lead by America both Neo-Cons and Neo-Liberals figured "now is the time to expand into the billion population China and destroy Russia for good!" After the fall of the Iron Curtain.

It is this short sighted, history deficient and gross miscalculation that has placed the West at risk. Arm a massive Communist country like China and their intelligence agencies immediately went to work to infiltrate California, New York and other sources of large urban centers of influence in the West.

They have rapidly expanded around the globe, undermining the same hand that has fed them all the while the world is too afraid to call them out and even give the dignity to recognize Taiwan.

Leadership and patriotism in the West is very weak. As weak as it ever has been, from Europe to N America.

China has planned this and guided "leader" after leader and big media promoted them in the process!

I won't ever forget the laughs coming from CNN when Trump said he was going to take on China. They literally laughed and basically mocked him. Mocking their own nations interests.

I said at the time that beating China wasn't that difficult since America was the consumer of products.

The Cold War never ended, it just shifted. With the revival of Russia thanks to the brilliant decisions of Merkel, because remember "climate change people!". Russia is back and stronger than we ever thought they could be thanks to their Axis that has propped them up as oil prices skyrocketed.

Probably the very same companies that fielded our voting machines here.

Is it possible for you people to have a discussion on a world event without turning it into a partisan circle jerk?

I support weakening all of the Wests enemies, yes.

Ukraine is a corrupt country, but they are in our orbit of influence. That's how the world works. Nations have interests and values, sometimes they don't always intersect but they must ALWAYS be maintained and expanded.

Yeah, sure he did.

Not the same thing.
Trump squeaked by in the electoral college. The polls were actually pretty accurate, Hillary won the popular vote by 3 million votes as you people never tire of saying. Hillary didn't think any cheating was necessary - she thought she had it won.

You people? LOL, you obviously do not have any idea what I have said about that. LOL

I made a simple factual statement and you jumped off a cliff with it.

Dumbass it was Trump that was trying Maduro tricks after he realized he was losing.

Just ask Georgia’s Republican administrators, indicted fake electors and all the convicted Congress attackers who went along with Trump’s lies
