I don't care about Maduro, as far as I'm concerned, they can shoot him if they want. What matters to me is walking through the streets of my city and seeing the faces of fear on my neighbors. The military patrolling to prevent looting due to panic. It's a collective hangover, a horrible one.

It's 2016 all over again. It's seeing despair entering the circulatory system of all Venezuelans, only now it's more sudden, and we are painfully aware of it.

This is far from improving, and we know it.

Both countries, as now Venezuela, "coincidentally" had oil. It's strange tho, every time the US goes to war to "liberate" a country, that country happens to have oil.

Never stuff like... idk... factories where they produce almost everything that's made today and other things like silk, electric cars...

It's always oil...

    If we were going to intervene militarily somewhere, the most moral and most likely-to-be-effective choice IMO would be Haiti. It's right next door and is relatively small. They need the Army Corp of Engineers to rebuild infrastructure, and a ton of police action. Establishing a stable government would make a huge improvement in the lives of Hatians.

    huh? did you forget bombing yemen for blocking a straight, bombing iranian nulcear facilities, assisting Israel fighting palestinian terrorists, helping fight terrorists in the philippines, fighting isis, syria, the kurds, helping Ukraine fight Russia, how did you suddenly forget vietnam and ww2?

    America is involved in a lot more than just afghanistan and iraq…

    Assisting israel in their genocide? Sure, not a good thing to do.

    Bombing Iran for enriching uranium? Why don't hey do it with North Korea or Russia then? Right, they are not a threat to the genocide israel is doing in Palestine.

    The us is just a terrorist country fucking with half the world.

    And don't get me started with ww2 bullshit. They only intervened when the nazis were deemed a problem for them, and it was Russia who pushed the nazis all the way to Berlin.

    Not to talk about how the pedopresident has said that he's not helping Ukraine anymore and is pushing for a "deal" that's basically written by Putin.

    Some are celebrating. And honestly? That's not really telling of anything. Some people were celebrating Milei and look how's that going. But I digress.

    Fact is the us has just kidnapped the head of another state and made it a colony. And all without the authorisation of their own congress.
