The US has announced an increased $25m (£20.4m) reward for information leading to the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on the day he was sworn in for a third six-year term in office.

Rewards have also been offered for information leading to the arrest and or conviction of Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello. A new reward of up to $15m for Defence Minister Vladimir Padrino has also been offered.

The UK also issued sanctions on 15 top Venezuelan officials, including judges, members of the security forces and military officials.

What about the felon rapist who incited an insurrection against our government and illegally attempted to overturn an election?

Or the corrupt rapist currently perpetrating a genocide?

Case dropped!

Arrest? The word is "kidnapping": the USA has no right to "arrest" the heads of state of foreign countries.

But good luck getting the British state propaganda service to admit that.

Best I can do is 5 million for Juan Guaidó

Nowadays he's worth maybe like $3,28

I am still not sure if Maduro really won the election, he seems to have had a lot of support. But also a lot of venezuelans that where against him. The US clearly has their regular motive of oil and exploitation in mind, so I would also rather fake an election win than give those bastards free reign over my country.

You prefer to go against the will of the people, just so your ideology can get a win?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Its not just ideology, its about the peoples futures and not screwing them over permanently. The us isn't exactly known to benefit countries that open up to the free market and are poor, but rich in oil.

Something here is fishy. How does the US not know where Maduro is?
