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.

In evil badcountry, the regime puts out bounties on heads of state who defy their will

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 10 points 1 month ago

Imagine how much Trump would increase the bounty!

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.

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

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

Or the corrupt rapist currently perpetrating a genocide?

Case dropped!

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

Best I can do is 5 million for Juan Guaidó

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

Nowadays he's worth maybe like $3,28

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?

[–] Mangoholic@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Its not just ideology, its about the peoples futures and not screwing them over permanently. The us isn't exactly known to benefit countries that open up to the free market and are poor, but rich in oil.

[–] DankOfAmerica@reddthat.com 2 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world -3 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world -4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world -4 points 1 month ago

Also, It is well deserved.

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

Thank you for taking your valuable time from sniffing glue to make this insightful comment.

Unsurprising that the one always posting pro-Milei articles is against Maduro

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world -4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I am literally a venezuelan.

But do go on, keep on trying to explain my country to me from miles away

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 month ago

I just think it's funny that you support the AnCap Clown as he destroys the economy of Argentina.
