President Nicolas Maduro - Iconic Resistance to US Terrorism!

US: Maduro’s Message “We Will Win” Goes “Viral” – US Fails to Strip the Venezuelan President of Dignity or Fortitude! (5.1.2026)

‘The Americans were defeated in Revolutionary Russia (1918-1921), the Americans were defeated in the US War of Aggression in Korea (1950-1953).

He did not cry-out in pain or run in terror. In the superb deportment of President Nicolas Maduro – we see the greatness of perfected (dialectical) timing. We see the pebble which smashes through the wall of large boulders when thrown against it!

Long Live a Socialist Venezuela!’
