The $25 million bounty was announced by the Biden administration. Between Operation Gideon (Bay of Piglets) and Obama’s “extraordinary threat” executive order in 2015, they’ve spent many years showing their intention to take someone from Venezuela to trial. I never thought they’d actually abduct Maduro though. Assassination? Absolutely. But kidnapping a world leader?
Oh wow, he snuck that one in right as he was leaving office, probably knowing people (like me) would see that the first bounty was issued the second week of January and just assume Trump was already president.
But, yeah, they’ve been angling for regime change in Venezuela since 2002. I thought they’d just assassinate him, though.
Yea I can’t tell if abducting Maduro is somehow worse than what they did to Soleimani. One things for sure they better not let Maduro talk in court cuz unc is a yapper. His livestreams were great.
