"But the Supreme Court said Friday Machado would remain disqualified "for being involved... in the corruption plot orchestrated by the usurper Juan Guaido." Guaido, now in exile"

Is the ban of Machado justified?
Guaido led a coup attempt to overthrow Maduro. Was Machado involved in that coup attempt?

It looks like Trump is preventing any oil exports from Venezuela in an attempt to cripple their economy. He admitted he wants regime change. He might be reluctant to invade yet though. Crippling their economy must be plan B. Time is on the bully's side. Venezuela is dependent on oil exports.

Trump doesn't have to try to destroy Venezuela's economy it was destroyed a long time ago.

That is a lie. They take better care of their people than here in the USA.
Maduro says the US wants to turn Venezuela into a colony and install a puppet government. Added it would not last and would be overthrown.

You are such a damn idiot. Since Chavez 25 years ago around 20,000,000 Venezuelans fled the country. Prior to that there was never any mass exodus from Venezuela. I guess they did not like the good treatment.

That is not Maduro. Maduro has strong support from most Venezuelans and you have not proven anything. Show your source. Prove you are not the damn idiot.

I live near these people and I dont need any proof. Maduro is a delusional dunce, just like your type. If you need proof Google it.

Here let me help you. You seem lame:
*************************
Approximately 7.9 million Venezuelans have fled their country since 2014, with the vast majority doing so during Nicolás Maduro's presidency. This makes it one of the largest displacement crises in the world, second only to the Syrian refugee crisis.
The exodus is a result of a complex humanitarian, economic, and political crisis in Venezuela, which includes widespread violence, hyperinflation, severe food and medicine shortages, and a lack of essential services.
Key Statistics
Total Displaced Population: Nearly 8 million Venezuelans have left their homes since 2014.
Location: About 85% of those who have fled remain in Latin American and Caribbean countries.
Main Host Countries: The primary destinations in the region include Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Chile, and Brazil. Colombia hosts the largest number of Venezuelan migrants and refugees, with over 2.8 million.
Daily Exodus: People continue to leave at an average rate of approximately 2,000 per day.

That is because the US has imposed sanctions on Venezuela. The Bank of England stole their gold and other factors beyond Maduro's control. You are doing that same pathetic propaganda saying socialism is a failure even though the US is trying to make them fail.

Now you support strangling Venezuela from all trade. You would move to Columbia too. You are a sick pup. And Trump is complaining about all the Venezuelan migrants coming here. He caused the problem and is using it as an excuse along with drugs to invade Venezuela.

The USA does not have universal healthcare. This plutocracy does not take care of us. At least Maduro takes care of the poor like Gaddafi did. That is why they have to be invaded, to stop making our government look bad.

Sanctions were fully justified. Chavez expelled large corporations and stole their assets. F..k Chavez, Madura and Venezuela. Let them go to hell. Socialism is a abject failure and only morons like you try to justify it. It has failed all over the world, and in all these failed societies people die trying gtfo those countries. Yet you idiots keep trying to revive a dead horse.

Only a dunce supports Islamic extremist and socialism. Why do Muslims and socialists leave their countries?

Then he can end the blockade and let Venezuela fail on it's own. Saying moles are failures and constantly whacking the moles is not impressing to realistic people. Surely you can see that.

If the reason for your success is another man, then credit is not yours.
If the reason for your failure is another man then you are still a failure.
You cannot pass on blame when you fail.

The fact that you need to be told these elementary truths fits in perfectly with your inability to see that socialism is a failed economic system, and Islam is a failed religion, both of which you support.

From the richest South American country in 1999, to the poorest in 2024.
Yeah .. sounds like a failed government.
If you call that success then you need to examine your value system.
