So...I'm guessing someone doesn't want to be killed by the CIA? Would that be a dumb take? Cause that's what this feels like

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Well all the details for the kidnapping if Maduro are slowly leaking out we already know that there has been a team of cia agents and informants that were watching his every move. So she will likely clean house quietly behind the scenes and then the country will be ran exactly the way it's been ran over these last few decades.
Yup, but this time USA will steal all natural resources and nothing would change for Venezuelans. Maybe some desperate militias would try to take over leading to civil war?
Or she was in on the coup and Trump's initial statements about her running things for him weren't just a product of the kakistocracy.
Public statement: "We will not bow down to US imperialism!"
Trump: "What the fuck, we had a deal, I'll kill you."
Private statement: "Jesus, do you not understand that I need to say that to rally support to take over?"
Trump: "I don't understand anything at all, say the secret deal publicly or I'll kill you."
Public statement: "We look forward to giving our nominal enemy everything they want."
I'm a little annoyed that it took me nearly half an hour to find an image of Delcy Rodriguez where she isn't looking directly at the camera, but it looks like we're on the same wavelength lol
If killing is what the U.S. wanted then Maduro would have been dead months ago. It would have been easily accomplished, cost far less money, and resulted in far less backlash.
She's in no danger of getting whacked by the US; she'd either be Maduro'd or pushed from office.
"Maybe they'll have forgotten about us by next week if we pretend that nothing happened..."
Looks like the USA won't even need to put up a stooge to rule in Maduro's place, the treachery was already there right beside him
Lets all laugh at noble pisss winner
Different person this is Maduro's vice president not the exiled opposition Gonzalez (the latter of which won the Nobel prize and the popular vote).
Thats why I am saying. Trump didnt let her become president or anything despite the amount of bootlicking she did. Trump seems to get along well with maduro's VP🤣
Leopards ate her face.
