My progressive friends chirping that "it's only about oil" need to remember that the indictment Trump acted on was issued by the Biden administration four years ago.
Maduro was a human rights abuser who murdered and starved his own people. That should be the first concern of everyone. That is motivation enough.
Now is a good time to remember that the cartel de los soles doesn’t exist and it’s even been determined by the US government’s own assessment that Maduro has nothing to do with tren de aragua. The charges are bullshit and that’s why they had to add machine gun conspiracy charges
Venezuelans are gathering in the streets- IN THE MIDST OF US BOMBINGS COORDINATED BY THE "OPPOSITION"- to defend the Bolivarian Revolution.
Crowds of people dont risk their lives demonstrating for an "unpopular" government. Imagine the # scared 2 b bombed. Dont believe the lies.
It’s 2003. We invaded and the regime was toppled quickly. The locals are happy. Surely the story ends here.
It’s 2026. We invaded and the regime was toppled quickly. The locals are happy. Surely the story ends here.
A 2021 report by the UN's independent expert on Venezuela, Alena Douhan, made it very clear that US and western sanctions had been designed deliberately to cripple Venezuela and reverse the progress made under Chavez
Cuba gets almost all of their fuel from Venezuela. The additional US sanctions on Venezuela have meant more blackouts and shortages. The Trump administration’s regime change in Venezuela is almost certainly being enacted with the genocidal hope of starving Cuba.
We’ve endured over a decade of handwringing over when voters are going to “do the right thing” and choose the righteous path and reverse all our wrongs and the fact is that they did that in 2008, they voted against all the horrible stuff, and then the politicians ignored them.
There's already a community note correcting the year that a patent on this did or would expire, but I think this is a good demonstration of how some aspects of even the concept of patents is absurd. You can't paint parking lines on a wall because someone else did first? Fuck off.
This is public information, but I understand you might be too busy to look it up, Tobi, so let me clear it up for you.
The architect of this parking lot holds a patent for this indication pattern. It is due to expire in 2068, until when the pattern can't be reproduced without legal repercussions.
You are welcome.
We're so collectively desensitized to the US empire that we're not even registering the absurdity: the US - a country where guns are sold at Walmart - has just kidnapped the president of a sovereign nation (and head of the army) to charge him with "possession of machineguns"
