@AOC This isn’t about oil or empire. It’s accountability and defense—conditional sanctions, cartels treated as security threats, and blocking hostile powers. That’s deterrence, not imperialism.
Anyone who has a problem with Maduro being captured and brought to justice should review the following footage of what Maduro did to his own people. THIS IS WHO YOU STAND WITH COMMIES.

Senator Sanders calls Trump’s Venezuela policy “rank imperialism,” but the VALOR Act of 2025 proves this is about accountability, not conquest. The Act mandates sanctions until Maduro’s regime meets 11 strict democratic benchmarks—free elections, releasing political prisoners, dissolving paramilitary groups.
