It never fails: the more radical a leader's rhetoric against wealth and capital is, the richer he is himself. What he doesn't like is for others to get rich.

Other I have observed is that they don't want to others to get rich because they felt when they are Rich they wouldn't be that submissive and humble to them but are wanting in a way to have a total control over everyone whom they think are subjected to them.

We call this in my country crab mentality. You don't want other people to get in or beyond your level so you try to pull them down similar what a crab does. Being rich means power in our society and those who lack it are being looked down.

I am not in a position to judge everything that is happening and whether it is fair or not, but it seems that the United States is closing in on Maduro and it is possible that something bigger could happen in the not too distant future

There's already a bounty of $50 million to capture Maduro Shocked

According to the article that OP shared, he is one of the world's biggest drug traffickers. This happening reminds me of the stroy of Pablo Escobar, the famous drug leader in Columbia. As far as I know he became a leader too in his country and he controlled the authroties while running his illegal business.

In announcing the new bounty last week, Bondi said Maduro leads the Cartel of the Suns, a powerful narcotics organization that operates within Venezuela’s armed forces while ruling the country and maintaining partnerships with the nation’s notorious Tren de Aragua gang, Mexico’s Sinaloa Cartel and other international syndicates.

“He is one of the world’s biggest drug traffickers and a threat to our national security,” Bondi said. “That’s why we’ve doubled his bounty to $50 million.”
