35. Murdering 11 Venezuelans without knowing 100%
Wed Sep 3, 2025, 06:51 PM
Sep 3

That it was a drug boat. So much easier just to blow it up. They are only Venezeuelans afterall. No one cares about those folks. Especially since they dared to vote in a socialist. That'll teach those Venezuelans not to vote in socialist.

Huh, seems Putin isn't concerned about the war pedo Trump started in Venezuela. Putin was an ally of Maduro's. Not sure why he let pedo Trump pull this stunt. Are more dead Venezuelans coming in the near future?
