The claims Maduro stole the election are bullshit, but even if they weren’t, the US and EU wielded sanctions like a club against Venezuela to drop a big weight on the scales.
i think ‘blockade’ better describes it, but yeah just good ol western imperialism doing everything they can to keep us poor. and fuck if they would let socialists or anti imperialists thrive.
Crazy to see people smile benignly while US Presidents shake hands with Saudi Kings and Egyptian Dictators, only to discover their love for democracy when a socialist they don’t like secures a 7-pt election lead.
If the J6ers had all been Venezuelan, I wonder if liberals would have stood back and let the US Congress get lynched?
you guys are aware venezuela has most of the issues it currently does directly because of us aggression, right?
there is no both sides here. the venezuelans are only victims of the empire.

I’m not saying both sides are equally culpable. Obviously Trump, Biden, Obama, and all of their Sec. of State are the primary villain.
The problem is that you’re confidently adopting a line convenient for the state department on shaky allegations.
