General Discussion

First, let me make clear that I like AOC very much, I think she is very intelligent, has more cojones than many of the men in the Democratic party, and all republican men. I believe she is a very good leader.

She is wrong about "Regime Change" and the clue is very clear. trump wants to bring Delcy Rodriguez, who when Maduro was the president, although illegally, she was, and still is, the Vice-President. She is with Putin in Russia right now, that should tell other stories as well.

A short bio of the Rodriguez family. She has a brother who is as corrupt and criminal as she is, they have robbed Venezuela and are now multi-millionaires, although their first millions of the family came in 1979, three years after their father had kidnapped a businessman who I believe worked for CocaCola, his name was William Niehous. Rodriguez kept him for three years until he received the ransom money then let him go. That was their family's first few millions...Like the saying goes "the apple does not fall far from the tree."

Anyway, trump is trying to get that woman back to Venezuela so that she can become president, and "help shape Venezuela towards a transition", he wants a puppet in the presidency, do you think that is serious "Regime Change"?. Delcy Rodriguez has robbed so much money, and committed so many crimes that she is not worthy of a presidency, she and her brother should be held accountable for their crimes, abd sent to jail for the rest of their lives.

trump has also revealed that he wants hold negotiations with people from the regime. And this is where I find AOC to be wrong about "Regime Change". "Negotiating" with assassins, thieves, from the regime is to legitimize them, that includes Delcy Rodriguez, It is an automatic pardon that will prevent anyone from bringing them to justice. These people from the regime have committed horrible crimes, from torture, to murder, theft, you name it, they have done it. If trump and Rubio were serious about "Regime Change" the USA would be finding, apprehending or eliminating people from the regime responsible for all the crimes committed during Chavez and Maduro's rein of terror, but trump only wants to continue enriching himself, and partnering with those who know how the Venezuelan corruption works is his best way of doing it.

I do think that Maduro needs to be accountable, but he is the least evil of the regime, he was just a puppet, and now a great prop for trump to boast about something that I suspect was planned ahead of time with the rest of the regime, having Maduro as the big prize.
