Public sentiment is largely negative and skeptical towards the US government's $50 million bounty on Maduro, viewed as a distraction from pressing domestic issues such as homelessness and the Epstein case. Many comments reflect frustration with perceived political motives behind the bounty, questioning its effectiveness and raising concerns about foreign interventionist tactics.

US Government

Nicolas Maduro

Double it an pass it to the next Dictator ✌

Superfan234

Ofc it's deserved but you don't topple dictators by offering bounties lol. It's just a symbolic move, nothing much will come out of this.

Aviskr

25 billion dollars should be at the minimum.

THIS_IS_SO_HILARIOUS

1B or nothin. There is way more money in oil underneath Venezuela. He's offering low

sentidocomunchile

Publish the Epstein docs, bro. 

Maduro’s a piece of shit, obviously. But Venezuela is effectively a military dictatorship and capturing him accomplishes nothing to actually stabilize the situation. They’ll just make him a martyr and replace him with another idiot. 

If US foreign policy were any worse, it would give the Naked Gun reboot a run for its money as farce of the decade.

iste_bicors

It is so futile to put a price on that very protected man/regime. I think we're pretty certain that my country's government is protected by many foreign interests. At one point I thought the regime had to have some kind of juicy info to blackmail the elites of other countries, but they're really not that smart, i don't think so.

Still, Maduro is the little fish, it is just the face,the poster boy of the regime. As the name implies, it is a regime composed of many players, cut one head off and two more will come out. It is kinda lazy to aim fpr Maduro, like we're dealing with Noriega. It is a military drug cartel. not just a dictato. Chavez died and things went from bad, to worse, to bad again, but never towards good.

Realisticly, If You want to launch an assault You need material, men, Ammo and a way to escape, this means Money, Even as a private entity or a country to try it it means speding Money and lives. 

Doing some 007 shit it's just fantasy.

The only ones who could try would be his own inner Circle or whatever Russians are still on Venezuela.

Aggressive_Donut_222

50 millions? dude a lottery in the USA can give you that money. meanwhile isntreal take billions of dollars of taxpayers money

I_Wanted_This

he is a ruthless dictator that followed the steps of his predecesor. they systematically destroyed a beautiful and prosperous nation in all of the levels. The economy is on the floor, the society is suffering and political oposition is persecuted.

i may not like trump, i'm not even from venezuela, but maduro should rot in jail. venezuela deserves freedom from this tyrant and if this is what it takes, then let's hope someone captures him.

Being Trump, he’ll likely won’t pay it. But 50 M is being cheap for real

Contribute to Crowdfunding and let's raise $100 million for the capture of Donald Trump

Nah, for 50 million I'll get you Salomón Rondón

It would be really nice to hear in the near future that Maduro and Cabello will be rotting away in a prison cell in the US.

ocasodelavida

DT could not care less that NM is a dictator with horrible human rights abuses. He just gave his support to NB who is also all of that, and he himself is not that far behind, even if some idiots will need 10 years and a million headlines to accept that. 

Maduro is also clearly, transparently, a puppet of the military. If he's deposed, they just put another one.

What you mean insane? The us has been trying to get rid of him since he got in power

Arnaldo1993

DadCelo

One, I would not trust Donald Trump to hold his end of the agreement 

Two, if someone inside Venezuela is powerful enough that they would gather support to turn on Maduro then that person probably lives a cozy enough life that risking a civil war (or a war war) for 50M isn't worth it

Three, if the US can't catch him while spending less than 50 M then who the hell can?.

whogivesahootanyway

It is largely symbolic, if they really wanted to capture Maduro they would have done a long time ago, Saddam had an army more powerful than everything the Boliviaran joke has had and they ended with his government in three weeks.

To me it seems more as a reason to deny more assylum claims, because now the State Department can say that its not they are already try to solve the problem and now its their turn to do their part

PejibayeAnonimo

I'd imagine that to get someone to amass an army to go to war with a government backed by cartels and terrorist groups, you'd need a lot more money on the table especially since they'd be getting paid after the fact. The last Mission Impossible movie had a bigger budget than that.

BluWinters

Elmerovis

Smoke curtain... and you can't really blame Trump because most idiots think this means something. Same idiots don't know what a Senator does, for example.

ruines_humaines

He’s gone full on mobster. He’s always been one but now he ignores the fact that he’s an American president and not Al Capone.

Woo-man2020

Who would take the bounty? Everybody around him probably makes way more than that from looting Venezuela's wealth. 

Also his whereabouts are not a secret.

Brave_Ad_510

Insane? I am not a Trumpists, but Biden was offering $25m in 2021. 

In any case, Trump just allowed Chevron to keep buying oil from the Maduro regime last month.

This is more a nothing burger to keep Magazuelans and Cubans happy.

ThorvaldGringou

Not only is this too little, everybody knows they would never actualky pay if the person did it.

Is it insane? Because maybe I'm just so used to crazy dictators that I think what Trump is doing is just stirring the pot but not actually doing anything

It was already $15 million in 2020, then increased to 25 million in january this year. Doubt 50 million will change anything lol

He can’t even bring the price of eggs down. How will he pay 50mil?

He is offering that amount to who? Any inner circle of the government has more money

I´m pretty sure a sicario is cheaper so it´s all for publicity

Podria_Ser_Peor

Taking maduro out of the equation don't achieve anything, he is just the face of a military dictatorship,   as soon as he has gone the Venezuelan elite  will find another face, and there are probably a lot of faces behind the scene waiting, the only way in which Venezuela can leave the current state is by Venezuelan themselves, they need to  convince key people in the current Venezuelan elite give them some guarantees for them and their families and slowly build up some power take over. USA intervention will not be free and will compromise a lot of the Venezuelan resources and also the risk of a lot of  devastation  and unnecessary loss of human life

criloz

Maduro, tramp, Chavez share foreign consultants.  

Bush, and Chavez used to bash each other publicly, while Cheney and Cabello made mutual contracts.  

So they talked shit about each other to boost their numbers while being business partners.  

Tramps sanctions on Venezuela helped rosneft profits.

Trump tried to bully good old Lula and now is knocking on the next door.

How much is Maduro offering for trump? 

How about Netanyahu? Bukele?

Would likely be the best $50 million ever spent... just ask any Venezuelan living there now or recently.

MMariota-8

Make it 500 million (after taxes) and 1% of all petroleum sales.

A159746X

That's not enough. If Maduro really is thecartel leader that's the change he has in his pocket.  
The mainstream doesn't understand how much money these guys have. The black money they handle would make Elon Musk pale in comparison. They don't appear on the list of the richest people because they don't want to, but if they did, they would be fighting for the top spots with the owners of Blackrock and making Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezzos, and Thiel look like amateurs. I think that's why mainstream billionaires hate them so much.

I'm sure this will resolve all of Venezuela's issues. Yep. And of course he's doing this because he has the country's best interest at heart.

Reminds me of that tale about how Stalin kept sending assassins for Tito, who eventually got pissed off and wrote a letter to Stalin saying "if you send one more assassin, I will send one of my own, and I will not need to send a second", and Stalin decided to not risk it

MulatoMaranhense

Maduro should honestly do the same, offer a 100 million to whoever can capture the felon and rapist who call himself president 

Low_Piece_2757

Wijnruit

A large enough group of soldiers (1000 minimum) or armed forces would be needed, and they aren’t going to risk a horrible death for around 50k each. A single person can’t defeat the government either. Good luck with that Trump lol

AccomplishedFan6807

f1ftyp3nc3

This might sound like a “tin hat” conspiracy, but Trump is creating constant headlines to distract the American people from not releasing the Epstein list. It’s one of the oldest tricks in the book.

koknbals

It's just posturing. $50M is half the price of an F-15EX jet fighter or a missile salvo. So pennies. They don't really plan on doing anything about Maduro unless he gets in the way.

morto00x

Lol 50 million? That's nothing to the people in Maduro's inner circle

topazdelusion

He's still butthurt because he couldn't drone strike him on his first term, isn't he? Him and John Bolton must be having Secret Service agents blowing compressed air foam at their asses 24/7

KevonMD

Where is the list Trump.


He is really going to start a war to avoid releasing the client list.

elrelampago1988

You can think whatever you want about Maduro, I personally dislike him, but this is unlawful and makes 0 sense legally speaking. Like almost everything Trump does.

Trump a été élu sur promesse d’enrichir les usa, arrêter les guerres et interventions hors USA et faire la chasse aux méchants peodphiles gauchiste

Résultat: il fait l’inverse total

Mais le pire: les MAGAs continuent de le soutenir

On est donc bien dans un fonctionnement sectaire, sans aucune remise en question ou recul, uniquement aveuglés par la haine. La haine est réellement leur seul moteur.

Encore une distraction. Donald Trump a violé des enfants et organisé un trafic sexuel d'enfants à travers son concours de beauté et ses agences de mannequins. On veut la publication des dossiers Epstein et on ne se laissera pas distraire. Trump est un violeur d'enfants.

On vous le dit, le socialisme, ça ne peut pas marcher, c'est physiquement impossible. Bon et comme on est pas patient, on dépense des milliards pour saboter/villifier/assassiner toute tentative et "accélérer" le processus d'échec inévitable. On se réserve aussi le droit de forcer des embargos, de créer des guerres civiles et de mettre en place des dictateurs sanguinaires pour s'assurer que le capitalisme prenne sa juste place!

Un ponte de la CIA, sans doute.

DeeDiver07

I am trying to understand what the actual reason for this is. Sure Maduro is a piece of shit and Venezuela returning to being loyal to American hegemony is the ideal. But what is the point of putting a bounty on his head but otherwise doing nothing to remove him? It isn't like you don't have the resources to kill him yourself. 

Spare_Elderberry_418

Mark my words. If someone from the US were to actually take Maduro out, they wouldn't see a single penny of that $50 million.

Puffthecarrier1

…50 million?

I will be putting together a special team, and I need me 8 soldiers—
