There's a latinamerican dude who has inteviewed a lot of presidents, I think he's either Marxist, or anti imperialist or something like that because he always defends AES countries. Thing is, he interviewed her a few times, also his brother, her father was a member of the communist party and he was personally assasinated by the CIA, I don't think she's perfect, but I'm pretty sure that image doesn't get erased from your memory pretty easily. I don't think she's a traitor, and she's really smart compared to Maduro. She was in charge of the oil and she did wonders with pennies. Hopefully, she'll be able to steer things in Venezuela for the better, and do some little cleaning for traitors inside the country.

Yeah, I do know her history, so hopefully this is not what it looks like.

she gave money to trump when he wasn't so senile

she bears the scars of imperialism and anticommunist policies on her life

maybe she'll be the top strategist for socialism that maduro couldn't be? marco rubio seems like the only obstacle to the process of her master plan to control the empire leader and remove the sanctions

Do we have any idea how reliable this information is?

By Joshua Goodman and The Associated Press

So we can figure this is CIA news trying to confuse and disorient about what's going on?

this was a very logical move by her. the sanctions were still very new (started by Obama in 2015-16), and Trump seemed very bribe-able right then. it would have been a dereliction of her duty to the people of Venezuela to not give it a shot. if it had worked, it would have prevented a lot of pain for Venezuelans, and likely much less of the social instability that Maduro is getting blamed for.

also, archive link

I want to see how things pan out; she may not be the only one in control anyway.

Yeah, i'll wait to see what she actually DOES in the coming days.
