The US is the rogue regime in this scenario.

It's not about needing the oil to use, it's about profit for American oil companies. Resource extraction from foreign countries at gunpoint is a major basis of the US economy.

Your comment doesn't make any sense. The Nobel Peace Prize isn't decided by Venezuelan people, it's decided by a council appointed by the Norwegian government.

How do you know? The official election council certified that he won. A bunch of foreign governments and US-aligned media claimed it was rigged. But the US has been trying to regime change them since they nationalized their oil.

The US regime hates Maduro because he kept Venezuelan oil nationalized so it can be benefit the Venezuelan people rather than foreign shareholders of oil companies. Although US sanctions intended to choke their economy and bring about regime change have made that difficult in practice.

The interests of the US imperialists and the Venezuelan people therefore could not be more diametrically opposed.

Citizens of the USA "verified" that the 2016, 2020, and 2024 elections were stolen. Doesn't make it true (or necessarily false).

Yes, it's more peaceful than war. Especially when the "illegitimately" part is determined by US-aligned and sponsored organizations for the purpose of manufacturing consent for regime change.

There seems to be a bug today, I typed "sunshine" at 21/23 and it said it was not in the word list. But the answer was supposedly also "sunshine". Could it be that the position of each S is somehow artificially significant?
