Venezuelans in New York share their views on capture of Maduro https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/55174e76-3b45-4ba9-b71d-aca3eac162b2 Venezuelans gathered outside the Metropolitan Detention Center in NYC, to share their views on the capture of leader Nicolás Maduro Moros, and his wife Cilia Flores. President Donald Trump said on Saturday that American forces had “captured” Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro during what he described as large-scale strikes on the country. One said: "I find it ironic that people are praising the idea that justice is being served. The idea that something democratic existed before is bullshit." "I don't know who's going to be replacing, but it's just going to be someone who serves US interests, who will loot the country. And there's also a risk of civil war." Others celebrated the release of Maduro, saying: "We are happy because he is a dictator." Trump said the US will run the country and going to be very involved in Venezuela's oil industry after the military operation. Support stories that matter.
