Chávez was also a dictator and lied to the venezuelians, same as we are liviano in Colombia.
Supporters are paid a little amount of money.
Venezuela permits colombian guerrilla to be in their country.
Venezuela is not socialist is comunist.
Why are they destroying the ships how will they ever know what was on them?
But the usa wants the oil too
Maduro apologists out in full force in these comments
All this fluff, for a war we do not need…ijs
Oh ,medical oh hospital
Stick to boats versus boats
THIS LOOKS LIKE THE RUSSIAN LEADER . MR PUTIN IS RIGHT, WHEN HE SAYS THAT THE U S IS ON A DOWN FALL AS GREAT BRITAIN AND ROME WAS, IS IT REALLY SO. WE ARE WATCHING.
Need to prosecute the USA military that killed civilians off thee coast of Venezuela: this is crime against humanity and the penalty is death by hanging.
Russia did to Ukrain .
U.S. will do to Venezuela.
Trump borrows Putin’s playbook
If Maduro wants to stay in power he should give trump whatever he wants.
It's not said in this video, but Maduro did a deal with China a month or two ago which is giving them rare earth minerals
why do they think 50million is a good reward for a president. sports athletes make that in 1 year
We are all adults and not stupid. Why don’t they just say it!!!
We want stable energy reserves (oil) and to kick china out of our back yard. Because x,y,x…. (Future data centers are going to be energy hogs and the administration’s portfolio assets are in petroleum products.
Vs just using a more safe TRISO fuel or going nuclear.
60 minutes is like fox propaganda now
Kash patel eyes lol
Maduro, the dictator lost the presidential election not long ago, yet refuses to step down.
If Maduro respects Venezuela, he should step down and let the winner of the presidential election take over.
All of my venezuelan friends who escaped to the U.S laughs at what Maduro says because they can see through Maduro's lies.
May the people of Venezuela be free someday.
"… Indeed, the facts and Iraq's behavior show that Saddam Hussein and his regime are concealing their efforts to produce more weapons of mass destruction … every statement I make today is backed up by sources, solid sources. These are not assertions. What we're giving you are facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence!"👻
Colin Powell 👺💩💀🔥
Blood dripping mainstream narrative media Agreed!💀🔥👹🧟♀️
Nice try glowies
I can't quote it but, this reporter just said 70% of Venezuela population live in poverty. It was once tge richest country in Latin America.. An economy ruined by disastrous socialist policies.. This is what NYC has to look forward to..
Venezuela protests look a bit like U.S. protests against ICE in American cities.
You mean there are actually still people left in Venezuela?
What about North Korea? Try threating them with military force. We need a good show. Then again, what would we do with all the migrants. Send them to Russia?
CIA Propaganda. Don't watch this nonsense.
Terrible news outlet they manipulate everything
when you hear the phrase "let me be clear", know you are about to be lied to.
the US are terrible hypocrites
Sure in a dictatorship people always yell the truth when interviewed. Typical hit piece by the MSM aka 60 minutes
This so called WAR will take,uh,two days lol.
Civilians…combat? They will drop they're weapons and welcome us
MADURO NEEDS A DRONE VISIT….BOOM….PROBLEM SOLVED.
HEAD OF INTELLIGENCE LOL
