If Trump had full control of the CIA, Maduro would be gone by now. Sadly the agency is still in the grip of Obama appointees who no doubt doing all they can to protect Maduro.

Again - this is socialism in a nutshell - the ideological purity of the state must be maintained over your petty needs for food and medicine comrade.

To starve or get shot down...
The fight for freedom brings these types of scenarios.

Venezuelans need to choose slavery or freedom.

Gather all the quotes and video of Maduro supporters in this country and around the world that you can; it is now EXTREMELY powerful political ammunition, and they will be trying to delete it wherever they can.

It’s not the first fatality by a long shot.
Maduro’s hit squad assassinated a guy in the street last week.

Just another example of why allowing him into office was a fatal mistake perpetrated by BOTH parties in violation of the Constitution.

When the Antifa thugs beat down to the ground and tear gassed a white haired man and hit conservatives including women with sticks and metal rods in California, the police had their arms folded down the street. Same with the cars being surrounded and thugs trying to pull the doors open to beat people to death in another city.
Excuses: woman mayor woman police chief, or panty waist male leftist mayor and police chief so the cops didn’t want to jeopardize their jobs and pensions by acting. People rushed down to beg them for them to help the wounded and give protection but the cops refused flatly.

American law enforcement and military forces will have to choose: evil leftist News Media People,Soros Antifa and Democrat thugs or the good patriots fighting them such as Free Republic and Trump people.

America will not have a “sort of” or other choice. With the US Constitution and our Republic, or against us.

In this modern world I don’t think the old-school way of surreptitiously taking out dictators is the way to go

I think this approach of using all of his neighbors to force him out is really the correct approach

the whole world is watching

Now that maduro has to resort to firing on his own people there’s 80 million people in the country the tide will quickly turn
