    When the US kidnaps your president and installs a puppet, it’s hardly “getting your country back” when the puppet plays along.

      She’s not the puppet he installed. She’s trying to bribe him to put her in that position but for now it’s Maduro’s VP Delcy Rodriguez

        No, but she sure as hell has wanted to for a very long time.

        Which is the stupid part, because the peace prize was her only leverage. It’s pretty clear she’s purely trying to play the book of appeasing him to get him help her, but failed to actually secure that part in some under the table quid pro quo.

        Now Trump gets to pick and choose between two people that are willing to sell out their country to appease him, except one is actually in control of said country while the other handed him a peace prize (her only leverage) and hoped for him to ‘do the right thing’.
