Venezuela Launches Criminal Investigation After Opposition Asks Armed Forces to Betray Maduro

Maduro should just kill all these ZOG’d-out retards.

I don’t even necessarily support communism, but this shit where the US just claims the right to decide who rules other countries is absurd, and everyone has had way more than enough of it.

AP:

Venezuela’s top prosecutor on Monday announced a criminal investigation against the opposition’s presidential candidate Edmundo González and its leader Maria Corina Machado over their call on the armed forces to abandon their support for President Nicolás Maduro and to stop repressing demonstrators.

Isn’t the fact that this guy is not already arrested proof that Venezuela is not some kind of hardcore dictatorship?

If I was Maduro and some US-backed shill was promoting riots in my country, he’d have accidentally fallen out of a window long before he got a chance to try to manipulate the military.

Attorney General Tarek William Saab’s statement tied the investigation directly to a written appeal the two members of the opposition sent hours earlier about Maduro and the demonstrators who have come out in force to defend their votes in the July 28 election.

Saab, in a written announcement posted on the social media site X, said the duo “falsely announced a winner of the presidential election other than the one proclaimed by the National Electoral Council, the only body qualified to do so” and they openly incited “police and military officials to disobey the laws.”

Gonzalez’s and Machado’s written appeal shows the alleged commission of various crimes including usurpation of functions, dissemination of false information to cause fear and conspiracy, Saab said.

…

González and Machado called on rank and file members of the security forces to rethink their loyalty to Maduro.

Who knows who has the most support in Venezuela. I don’t know. You don’t know. There are huge protests in support of Maduro. Obviously, some people don’t like him. But who the hell knows?

The real point is: who cares? And the second real point is: why would it be the US government’s job to decide?

Can the US government decide who won the Venezuelan election because of the Holocaust? Because if you ask them why they are the ones who get to decide, there is a 100% chance they will start talking about the Holocaust.

Does that make sense?
