www.abc.net.au
US President Donald Trump says the US has "captured" Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who earlier declared a national emergency and hit out at US "military aggression" after attacks in the capital, Caracas.

At least seven explosions, low-flying aircraft, and one column of smoke have been seen in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas, according to eye-witness reports.

The southern area of the capital, near a major military base, was also without electricity.

Venezuela’s government did not immediately reply to AP’s request for comment.

The cause and and precise locations of the disturbances were not immediately clear.

Update: US President Donald Trump says the US has captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

    we’ll have to agree to disagree

    Millions of Venezuelans are happy today and I support them

    Hopefully it slowly leads towards them having a country that isn’t broke and corrupt as shit

    having watched a few videos on the place in the past it’s probably unlikely though, when you have a shitty culture even if you get invaded it usually returns to the same shitty culture unless you do a full shutdown on it like China in xinjiang on the usual islamic terrorists

    I don’t think there are any objective good guys.

    Ukraine’s (to my cursory understanding) voting system seems more democratic than what’s taken place in Venezuela (which I don’t have much understanding of), but from what I’ve read there were serious problems with corruption in Ukraine, also. (Prior to the war)

    Should watch this:

    Winter on Fire: Ukraine’s Fight for Freedom | Full Feature | Netflix

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yzNxLzFfR5w

    The people of Ukraine made it abundantly clear they want less corruption and to move towards EU integration

    Same for the Iranians they have made it clear as well that they are not happy
