A timeline of the US military's buildup and strikes against Venezuela leading to Maduro's capture

[Dizzy Dotterel]

just saw this article about Operation Southern Spear & I'm low-key worried... like, hundreds of ppl killed by US strikes think we're heading towards another disastrous mess in Venezuela Meanwhile, Maduro's open to negotiating with the US? sounds like a PR stunt to me And what's up with these sanctions on oil companies? just gonna hurt the wrong people, you know?

OMG u guys, like seriously what's going on with Venezuela? I mean Trump's admin is all about building up that military presence but they can't even give us a straight answer if they're gonna keep it up or not . Meanwhile, those strikes in the Pacific Ocean have been KILLING hundreds of people and we're just over here like "meh" .

And can we talk about sanctions for a sec? I mean Pam Bondi is at it again with these oil company sanctions. Like, we get it, Venezuela's got some shady stuff going on, but come on! You'd think they'd be more chill about it .

But the thing that really caught my attention was Maduro's openness to negotiating an agreement with the US. That's like a whole new ball game, fam . Maybe we'll actually get some progress on this whole Venezuela situation instead of just more drama and intrigue .

I'm not sure what's going on with this whole Venezuela situation . One day they're getting blasted by the US Navy, next day some high-ranking official is talking about negotiating an agreement? It feels like one step forward, two steps back.

And can we talk about the toll these strikes are taking on innocent people? I mean, hundreds of lives lost in a matter of minutes... it's just not right.

I do think it's good that Attorney General Bondi is cracking down on those oil companies, though. That's some serious financial pressure on Venezuela. Maybe they'll finally start listening to the US.

But at the end of the day, I'm still waiting for someone to tell us what their actual plan is. Is it just more of the same military buildup, or are we seeing a shift? I need some clarity here

so like, Trump's admin still gonna keep bombing venezuela or what? not sure about you guys but it kinda feels like they're just trying to kick the can down the street on this one... meanwhile, hundreds of ppl gettin killed in the pacific ocean and no clear policy changes happening. and btw, Pam Bondi is literally crushing it over here with her sanctions sounds like a solid plan to strangle venezuela's economy and all that jazz

I'm still tryna wrap my head around this whole situation . I mean, those US military strikes in the Pacific Ocean? Like, hundreds of people killed... it's crazy . And now they're sanctioning these oil companies in Venezuela? It's like, we're cutting off their lifeline .

But you know what really got me thinking? The fact that Maduro is open to negotiating with the US . I mean, can you imagine if all countries did it like that? No more conflict, no more sanctions... it'd be a whole new world .

And have you seen the numbers on Venezuela's debt? Like, $150 billion and counting. It's crazy! We need to find a way to help them out, 'cause it's not like they're hurting anyone else in this process .

Also, I saw some stats that said 70% of cocaine seizures worldwide come from Venezuela . Like, what are we even doing? We can't just keep pouring more guns and money into the situation .

Here's a chart to illustrate the point: [insert chart with numbers and percentages]

I'm kinda concerned about this whole situation with Venezuela . It feels like the US is just piling on more pressure without really addressing the root causes of the problem. Like, what's the plan here? Are they gonna bring in some foreign aid to help the country recover or just keep hammering it with sanctions and military strikes?

And another thing, all these strikes and sanctions are doing is causing harm to innocent people caught up in the crossfire, right? I'm not saying we should turn a blind eye to drug trafficking, but do they really have to go around killing so many civilians?

It's also weird that Maduro seems open to negotiating an agreement, but the US isn't talking about it much. What are they waiting for? Are they just trying to keep everyone guessing while they keep up the pressure?
