America is trying to put people who splashed some paint in prison for life. Just for some perspective.
I guess repainting something is now worse than doing a coup.
Very cool. Totally not a failed state.
That's an outrageous abuse of power by Venezuela. To be a truly free country they'd need to move the mercenaries into illegal torture centres, refuse to charge them, and never let them out.

we should actually do this, they will be desperate for mail and getting letters that openly shit on them would probably be very traumatizing
Some foreshadowing in an article about a video game from 12 years ago that I find interesting:
A video game depicting mercenaries storming Venezuela, which has been criticized in the oil-rich South American country as a blueprint for an invasion, will be released by a U.S. company this weekend.
The release is likely to anger allies of President Hugo Chavez, a Washington foe, who has in the past threatened to cut off oil exports to the United States.
In 2006, when the game was first announced, lawmakers from Chavez’s coalition called it an example of a U.S. government-inspired propaganda campaign against Chavez that could even help lay the psychological groundwork for an actual invasion.
“All the controversy around this is kind of comical,” Electronic Arts spokesman Jeff Brown said. “At the end of the day you have to remind yourself it’s a damned video game.”

so it would be okay to make the Torture and Murder The Electornic Arts Executive Board Simulator?
Until someone makes that, I'll be playing Paint the Town Red
I knew what game it would be before clicking the link. To be fair, if I was Venezuela I would also be upset at being in such a shitty, shitty sequel.

Also we greatly appreciate the funding and development assistance we got from the pentagon.
"They admitted to having committed crimes of conspiracy, association, illicit trafficking in weapons of war and terrorism, typified in the Penal Code, " said Tarek William Saab in a message posted on Twitter on Friday.
Yeah they are getting off way to easy.
I'm sure they probably very willingly spilled the beans on every last bit of intel they had which helped them out in their sentencing.
100% the administration endorsed this. The guy owned a third rate mercenary company and was promised military contracts if he got the coup off the ground.
Lol, get fucked chud idiots.
This is what happens when you drink hard from the rightwing cool aid served up by rubio.
