This is a crime to the Venezuelans, the US citizens, and the whole of South America.
Maduro had it coming, although I'm not surprised the bleeding hearts on HN can't see that. The guy was a dictator. Fuck him. Well done USA and happy new year.
I really don't understand one thing: is there a single american who still think this has been done to liberate a country from a dictator in the name of freedom? Seriously? This has been done for economical and power interests and USA is the most destabilizing power in the world and a source of war and desperation and death: they supports israel to get political power in middle east, they invaded countries as done in Iraq, they push Nato to the border of Russia and provoke war (not to say Putin had right to invade Ukraine but what would have done usa if mexico Canada or Cuba had russian weapons and support? Oh yes, we knew about Cuba). And the president Trump: he’s just a ridicolous bully like the ones you can find at high schools.
Please US citizens, grow up. There had been a time when you were admired and respected, now your country is killing the world.
Wow, the chief idiot just said on Fox News that Maduro is on the Iwo Jima.
Like, holy classified military secrets Batman!
Bolivian here - no tears will be shed over this scumbag. Check tiktok live and people are celebrating in the streets. Believe venezolanos, and neighbors, and not redditors lol.
So crazy how all of this is highly probably due to the Epstein files. Has anything like this ever happened in history?
Anyone arguing that we cannot legally capture Putin may reconsidered their stance.
The world is complex... It is a fact that Chavez and Maduro have completely ruined Venezuela.
That doesn't mean things can't get worse.
I pray the majority of Venezuelans really have had enough of socialist dictatorships and can find a way to govern themselves. The US should not govern Venezuela - but neither should Maduro or his cronies.
God bless America and God bless President Trump!
This can only be good news for the Venezuelans, having lived in such poor conditions for so long. Soon they will be able to go to McDonald's, drink Starbucks, and maybe one day if they really prove themselves to have that special drive and spirit that only Americans have, apply for US citizenship!
What does this have to do with technology?
All in all, probably a good thing.
Wishing the new cold war will be equally bloodless all along
It is definitely not Russia unprovokenly and illegibly attacking its neighbor, so why even care?
Yay more political posts on the techie news site. Closing the tab for the weekend this time.
Alright So I'm fully expecting that companies like Visa and Mastercard to promptly exit US market, for the EU to stop issuing visas to US citizens and harsh sanctions on the US economy by the EU.
Right? Right?
“The EU is closely monitoring the situation in Venezuela” seriously https://x.com/kajakallas/status/2007405051896123707
"Officials from the United States and other countries have questioned the legality of the strikes."
Look, this is getting tiring. You have no idea what the people in this country went through and they might as well see it as a "good thing". I think the same applies to Iran, an intervention by the US could be the best thing that ever happened in these countries, so the "legality" issue doesn't quite sound warranted in my opinion.
