Same here in Europe. All Venezuelans I know (not a lot, granted) are happy he’s in jail. They are worried of what’s to come, the uncertainty and all than can go wrong.
Maduro was an asshat and definitely had to go… but there is no scenario where anything Maduro did would improve for Venezuelans under the Orange Pedophile.
Venezuela just fell off the frying pan, into the fire
Did you also ask your acquaintances whether they agree with seeing their sovereignty as a state trampled underfoot? Because that is exactly what this is: the basis of international law is state sovereignty, the right to regulate one’s own affairs without interference from militarily superior nations. This fundamental principle no longer exists thanks to the US, and as a result, Venezuela will now be exploited even more. The interesting thing is that none of the absurd explanations given by the US regime for its blantant violation of international law are even remotely credible. It can therefore be assumed that this was done to increase the personal wealth of the US president. I can hardly imagine that any of your acquaintances could have the slightest interest in this.
What they mostly see is that ask of them had to go live thousands of kilometers away because of a dictator.
It’s not like they had it great but just didn’t like maduro. Things were dire due to the government of maduro. So yeah, this might end up being a “you’re not saved, only under new management”, and given who is doing it might well be the case, but doesn’t change the fact they were already screwed and with no change they didn’t see any way of improvement.
That is exactly what Marco Rubio, descendant of Cuban exiles and US Secretary of State, would say about Cuba. And that is probably also the reason why the US forcibly deposed Maduro, who was undoubtedly a ruthless dictator: But the US did not do so because he was a dictator, but probably because he supplied Cuba with oil or because Trump had some business deals in mind for his family. In any case, the reason for this absurd violation of international law is so unclear that one can only assume that it is due to Trump’s previous policy of excessive self-enrichment – not even the oil industry was informed about this move.
However, none of this changes the fact that this US intervention was a clear violation of international law, and if you feel the need to justify it, I can only tell you that you are on the wrong side because you are putting forward flimsy arguments to justify this crime.
I don’t have a gun, but Trump does. Can’t you understand that? With your human touch stories, you’re just playing into his hands. I don’t mean that in a bad way, but that’s how it is.

I described it to a friend as Venezuelans being forced from the Maduro diet to the McDonald’s diet. Both suck.
I work with a Venezuelan guy, he’s horrified by it because he thinks more violence is coming for the nation (I’m in Spain BTW)

Hey man, just want to point out:
Venezuelans had it bad under Maduro =/= Trump kidnapping Maduro good
So, please put down the gun, thank you.

No one here is disagreeing with you and I’m not sure why you seem to be reacting to us as if we are.
I feel you’re replying to the wrong person or you are making a fan fiction of my comments to be outraged at.
