Venezuelans who come to the US tend to be wealthier, in order to be able to get here, and have enough issues with their country in order to leave, issues that they will usually blame on the leadership.
None of this is to say Maduro has majority support, he doesn’t by most accounts, or that they don’t represent a sizable chunk of Venezuelans who don’t like Maduro, but that his support isn’t as non-existent over there as it is here.
It’d be like if Trump took over the US and you only got your views on what Americans think from expat communities in Canada. They would probably cheer his death, even if it was by a foreign empire, but that wouldn’t be representative of average Americans who probably wouldn’t like the foreign intervention, even if they don’t like Trump.
I do wonder, what % of anti-trump people would be okay witha foreign power using a military raid to arrest him while killing secret service personnel to do it. It’s a nonzero number for sure… but how high. Somone should totally do a poll.
Unlike Maduro, trump won his election. ;)
I’m not white so if this happens while leaving the rest of the government left intact (similar to the Venezuela situation), then the next in line will invoke martial law and non-whites like me will definitely end up in a concentration camp, so no I do not approve of this. I’m also foreign-born so I’d be the top of the target list.
I dunno. I don’t think vance would feel a need to keep doung what trump was doing. Vance would want to run in 2028, so he would probably try to take the “healer” side. He can’t carry trumps base anyway.
That said, sounds like your answer is that if it benefitted you, you would be fine with it, and if it didn’t, you wouldn’t.
It’s super hard to do the math on what that’d look like honestly. I’m not even sure we’d change handlers. The guys at the apparent top aren’t masterminds; they’re just faces and voices, perhaps scapegoats for more capable people pulling strings.
The problem with your take is that you’re still applying liberal values to foreign policy that the USA has ignored for decades - they have been fascists in regards to other shithole countries, even Obama. So what do you think would be wrong with this? Why would anyone with half a brain object to this?
Imagine it was Hitler in 1940 Germany. How many countries are defacto at war with the US, as the US defines war, e.g. sanctions are an act of war. Is Trump and his regime not a fascist regime that should be removed from power? Same with Netanjaho of course.
A malicious tumor should be excised. I do not have the money to buy the laws for this, but it’s still the morally correct answer, no matter if you’re in favor of a utilitarian, principles or kantian ethics.
My take? I legit asked a question to get other people answers. Somehow you wrote up that whole thing about an opinion I didn’t give, and didn’t even answer the question.
Your question is an infohazard
Well I guess you you are anti-data. I really just wanted to hear opinions.
Even if it’s Trump, it’s still wrong.
But what percent do you think would say it was right because it was trump?
