The US has announced an increased $25m (£20.4m) reward for information leading to the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on the day he was sworn in for a third six-year term in office.

Rewards have also been offered for information leading to the arrest and or conviction of Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello. A new reward of up to $15m for Defence Minister Vladimir Padrino has also been offered.

The UK also issued sanctions on 15 top Venezuelan officials, including judges, members of the security forces and military officials.

Lol at mods erasing my comments because they are too scared about their ideology not being in the right place

Maduro is a dictator, a leftist one. A socialist as well.

Like it or not, all of you collectivists worldwide are against the will of the venezuelan people, cheering a literal dictatorship murdering venezuelans left and right.

You don't like it but it is the truth.

The night shift at the glue factory must be ending, ShartDickPrime is up to his antics again.

Also, It is well deserved.

Again, Maduro is a dictator of the worst class. Fuck him and all who support this piece of garbage

Arrest? The word is "kidnapping": the USA has no right to "arrest" the heads of state of foreign countries.

But good luck getting the British state propaganda service to admit that.

Something here is fishy. How does the US not know where Maduro is?

[–] Mangoholic@lemmy.ml 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I am still not sure if Maduro really won the election, he seems to have had a lot of support. But also a lot of venezuelans that where against him. The US clearly has their regular motive of oil and exploitation in mind, so I would also rather fake an election win than give those bastards free reign over my country.

You prefer to go against the will of the people, just so your ideology can get a win?

Shit like this is another reason why the world is aligning with China against the burger empire.

Nowadays he's worth maybe like $3,28

Wow, now that Trump’s back in office he’s already started lashing out randomly at other countries

Wait who’s president?

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 8 points 19 hours ago

Imagine how much Trump would increase the bounty!

What about the felon rapist who incited an insurrection against our government and illegally attempted to overturn an election?

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 4 points 7 hours ago

Or the corrupt rapist currently perpetrating a genocide?

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 5 points 20 hours ago

Case dropped!
