  2. What was actually said.

    “The increase in pressure and the escalation that’s taken place is the only way to force Maduro to understand that it’s time to go,” and “facilitate a peaceful and orderly transition,” Machado told Bloomberg.

  3. For people criticizing her… Imagine living most of your life under a dictatorship, seeing the results of an election being literally rigged, without any perspective of a change at all, imagine seeing your people being murdered in front of you, having to hide to not be killed. And then you are already starting to become old, and there is nothing else to be done, you will likely die in the same situation you are now. You would support ANYTHING to remove Maduro from power.

  4. War in Latin America with the US involved. This is very, very bad news.

  5. How’d that turn out for Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya?

  6. History has very few peaceful revolutions where authoritarians voluntarily give up power. 

  7. Did the irony lost on them? The “Peace prize” winner literally calling for the US military to invade her own country… maybe Nobel should rename their prize to War prize.

  8. She’s just waiting for Trump to remove Maduro, and put her in his place. She’s just better at lying than Trump is, being an idiot. 

  9. Should the Nobel Prize be rescinded?!

    It feels like shes not peaceful . At all!!

  10. Ah, yes, the woman who asked the genocide state of Israel to invade her country and got a *peace prize*

  11. I laugh at the leftists in their ivory towers critizing an opinion that 99% of Venezuelans have. Almost 30 years of socialism and communism and the only thing they have to show is misery and death. Hell, in this year’s election the socialist government had to stop the voting machines from tallying the votes because they were losing badly and to this day the government refuses to show the voting tally.
    And to those saying “it’s not real communism”, please stay in kindergarten you are too childish/naive about the real world.

  12. CIA is getting a tender ready for car batteries and jumper cables.

  13. She’s always been of this opinion, which is why there was some controversy around her award. I’m pretty sure the folks that normally host the award ceremonies refused to do it for her because they felt it would compromise their values.

  14. So much for the “peace” in Nobel Peace Price.

  15. Crazy how everybody says we need to stop being the world police, yet Biden’s honeymoon phase was ended by our withdrawal from Afghanistan and now it seems like the “no new wars” crowd is salivating at the idea of new wars.

  16. Military escalation is precisely the solution you expect from a Nobel PEACE Prize winner.

  17. Reddit was so relieved she won the Nobel prize instead of Trump, having never heard her name before. Maria Machado is a hardcore conservative, very close ally/friend of Trump and his family and a regular on Don Jr. podcast.

  19. People don’t agree but she’s correct. Maduro needs to be removed in order to help the people of Venezuela.

  22. Have people of reddit met a Venezuelan?! Fuck Trump yeah, but our hatred of Maduro and the regime should far surmount reddit’s hate of Trump when formulating our opinions on the comments of Maria Corina.

  23. “Some of you may die but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make”

    /s

  24. Dictators can be removed only by military intervention or betrayal from within. … it’s the shortest way to peace for the oppressed population, including for the Noble peace prize winners.

  25. Don’t forget the president from Mexico, didn’t congratulate her. Communism sucks.

  26. Maduro has remained in power despite loosing two elections. There is little potential to oust him from within the country.

  27. And in this case she’s right this only way that works

  28. This is what redditors will never understand. There is a lot of people that want this to happen, and they are not just the idiots in the white house, but millions of venezuelans and people from latin america, which have seen their countries impoverished thanks to the massive influx of venezuelans looking for a better place to live after decades of a leftist dictatorship.

    The opposition tried, but Maduro was pretty clear that he would not be removed from power.

    This is not a “fascist” or “militarist” statement, is just a fact, there is just no way to remove Maduro from power besides military intervention, that is just an absolute fact.

  29. Literally using her Nobel Peace Prize recipient status as a platform to call for violence. Classy.

  30. It may be the only way to remove him, but that doesn’t mean what follows will be any better. Just ask the Iraqi’s

  31. It’s just human history, rarely do people give up power willingly, sometimes they do it but there are nuances

  32. Sounds like out of the fire and into the frying pan moment. She doesn’t seem like she would be any better.

  33. these drug wars are crazy. does anyone really believe all that money is just going to stop flowing? no, Trump will be on the receiving end of a lot of it now. he’s the Cartel Boss now, or will be once the puppet is installed.

  35. Nobel piece prize winner calls for war in the same year they recieved said reward

  37. South America and Africa, two continents that are the playground of Imperialism.

  38. Makes perfect sense, maduro is a violent leader who will fight tooth and nail to stay in power, sometimes you have to fight for freedom.

  40. someone needs to take a good long hard look at the skills of the nobel committee. they don’t seem very good at their job.

  44. Oh. So THAT’S why the attacks are happening. I legitimately never thought of that.

    Fuck trump. That is beyond the stupidest reason for this.
