That is speculations, not "indisputable facts". Speculations can be fine, sometimes it is the best we have access to, but the reasoning of some guy on the internet is not a source about facts on the ground in Venezuela.

Your theory on the US terrorist attack and abduction of Maduro is one among several. There are other theories with some level of credibility out there, such as:

  • Venezuelan defenses were disabled by American electronic warfare
  • Venezuela fucked up and was taken by surprise
  • The Venezuelan government made a Faustian bargain with Washington, offering Maduro as a symbolic victory to Trump
  • Venezuela stood down, fearing retaliation against civilians if US American terrorists were hurt

You can go ahead and wait for permission to consider undeniable facts as mentioned. You are not worth talking to.

Lmao I knew this shithead wasn't going to be worth engaging with

Just remember that the talking to this guy is not for the guy, but for the people reading your conversation. When I joined the internet, these kind of exchanges made me understand human behavior, see how to properly reason, and they still provide important information. This exchange was useful to me.

Yeah, I cannot imagine how this POS possibly thought this would go when they came in with their mind made up and are tilting at the Hexbear windmill. Really just showing off their own ignorance and how not to talk to other people.

You're right. Sometimes I touch the poo. This time I passed intentionally. It just takes so much mental energy. But the payoff is likely worth it. I'll try to muster the energy more

Sounds good, just don't let me or anyone make you muster more energy than is acceptable to you. It's much more important that you stay mentally strong and in a good place than anything you could achieve by arguing with weird people xD
