Didnt saddam hussein try this with kuwait a while back? Minus the kidnapping, i mean. Is it too much to hope for a similar outcome?

wishful thinking. He is the most secure person in human history perhaps.

Good thing, since he’s too fat to fit in a ventilated dirt hole.
And Saddam wasn’t exactly slim himself.
Now we just wait for Trump to start unloading poison gas on the US people. Maybe that’s his plan for the upcoming elections.

No need, just poison the food instead

Did you forget that he was in the receiving end of getting curbstomped by the American oil regime lol?
Technically the similar outcome already happened with Venezuela. Their "crime" was trying to sell oil without American permission.

Biggest theft he ever made. That deal was a steal!

When you kidnap someone and then make money negotiating, that's called ransom not a deal.

All this proves is that tankies got vindicated again (as always)
"but why would you support maduro" this is why. We live in real world
This is why stalin carried out purges. Venezuela is officially american colony now.

This is not why Stalin "carried out purges" (killed millions in concentration camps).
