The US must release Maduro immediately

It bombed a sovereign country, it abducted its sitting president, and it did so without UN authorization or any kind of international consent. That's what the US has done to Venezuela. For the US, "kidnapping" becomes "justice" and "war crime" becomes "anti-narcotics".

Let's drop the pretense. Most fentanyl entering the United States does not come from Venezuela. And Trump just pardoned one of the most notorious drug traffickers ever convicted. What the US cares about is oil. US refineries rely on heavy crude oil, exactly what Venezuela is sitting on, the world's largest proven oil reserves. From Iran to Iraq, to Panama, and more than 70 regime change attempts during the Cold War alone, the US sold it as moral and delivered devastation, imperial violence, and long-term chaos. Washington may have mastered overthrowing leaders, but it repeatedly failed at what came after.

What happened in Venezuela will not stay in Venezuela. If this becomes normal and if the world stays silent, no country is safe, no leader is immune, and no law is real. Release Maduro and end the coercion.
