Too bad, the Americans are actually bringing Maduro to a court to face charges unlike what they did with Imran Khan citing "security" challenges.

The U.S is a rogue state full of extremists at the moment

It can't be trusted and is dangerous for the world

having cheap slave labor and infinite money can do wonders huh

Yep, those desi cleaners you find everywhere in Saudi, at masjids and streets with their broom and dustpan are paid SAR 800 per month. It's why those poor guys are always saying Salam to you, in hopes of getting a tip.

Moment Venezuelan soldier 'fires rocket at US helicopter but misses'

The clash occurred during America's daring mission to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife at their fortified compound.

watch him wear a armani suit

I had read an article but cannot find it now which said Maduro was likely to get top representation as the case is high profile and has interesting legal arguments, and because Maduro has plenty of cash.

Maduro's first argument likely will be that he has sovereign immunity as head of state.

Maduro’s case will revive legal debate over immunity for foreign leaders tested in Noriega trial

When Nicolás Maduro appears in a New York courtroom to face U.S. drug charges, he'll be following a path taken by Panama's Manuel Noriega.

The US constitution stipulates US president doesn’t need approval by the Congress for this special military operation.
He doesn’t need approval, either if he starts wars against Iran, Cuba, Columbia, Greenland and 100 other countries. As long as he has the money, don’t declare war then everything ok, no approval needed.

The Congress can stop the war by cutting funding when the president runs out of money.

The War Powers Act is a 1973 resolution that aims to check the president's power to commit U.S. forces to armed conflict without congressional approval. It requires the president to consult with Congress before deploying troops and to report to Congress within 48 hours of initiating hostilities. If Congress doesn't authorize the action within 90 days, the president must withdraw the forces.

also people thread is about Venezuela and us stop bringing China into it

The NY Times, even upon my cursory reading, in last two days alone had two major articles about this attack on Venezuela with its implications like 'Monroe Doctrine' and 'The Spheres of Influence'; the article mention China and Russia. So there is definitely relevancy to bring those two other countries, and even implications for Colombia and Greenland, but only as far as pertinent to this attack and its implications. But no point discussing events like decades old Korean War, which some had discussed for several pages above.

Unfortunately i will have to delete good posts as they are off topic

I will likely be doing the same.

Maduro's Cuban security staff were the only ones who remained loyal and earned their pay. The rest of Venezuela sold him out.

Cuba says 32 Cuban fighters killed in US raids on Venezuela

Havana declares two days of mourning for the Cubans killed in US operation to abduct Nicolas Maduro.

The Venezuelan government acted swiftly to preserve and transition power to the Vice President, and she has taken the oath to act as the Interim President. As far as I know, the rest of the system remains in place as is.

Lets again agree to disagree. The USA have entered a democratic nation and hijacked the leader - killed a few people and disregarded loss of any life and now publicly tell the world they are going to sell THEIR oil to help THEM but as far as you know - the system remains in place.
Whatever floats your boat. Orange bastard i say

The Orange Bastard part I can agree with, although I prefer the Great Orange Shitstain.

But the orderly transition of power to the Vice President shows that the Venezuelan system was far stronger than merely one man. Removing Maduro has not destroyed the system, and hence that shows its strength.
