White House Announces Venezuela's Release of 7 Americans

Venezuela freed seven Americans, including five oil executives imprisoned for nearly five years, in exchange for the release of two nephews of President Nicholas Maduro's wife who had been jailed for years by the United States on drug smuggling convictions on Oct. 1, 2022.

Maduro’s government said in a statement that it was releasing the American citizens as a humanitarian gesture. It praised the diplomacy that resulted in the freeing of the two “unjustly imprisoned” Venezuelans imprisoned in the United States and said it “hopes for the preservation of peace and harmony with all the nations of our region and the world.”

Those freed include five employees of Houston-based Citgo — Tomeu Vadell, Jose Luis Zambrano, Alirio Zambrano, Jorge Toledo and Jose Pereira — who were lured to Venezuela right before Thanksgiving in 2017 to attend a meeting at the headquarters of the company’s parent, state-run-oil giant PDVSA. Once there, they were hauled away by masked security agents who busted into a Caracas conference room.

And the US is just now doing something about this?

Maduro won this match...

'In the battle between democracy and autocracy, democracies are rising to the moment' once again 👏👏👏

Netflix's Dahmer Series ControversyRyan Murphy's new show 'Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story' has been causing controversy since it's release. Left coal smeared Trump, elected a foolish president, no wonder Iran restarted nuclear facilities, Myanmar military government coup, Afghanistan collapsed, North Korea shot again, ccp hegemony, stocks collapsed, prices skyrocketed, Russia invaded again after 6 years Ukraine The story didn’t need to be told. I wouldn’t watch this show. From what I heard the victims' families were not even told that this was being made. Unimaginable that anyone would have to relive these horrors. Not cool.
