This is building consent for a US war on Venezuela.

Nobel war prize more like, considering the people they award this to.

    I’m a consequentialist, hard to say if Mad’s regime would survive overnight if it meant war with the USA, but certainly can’t be any worse than leaving him in charge.

        Ah yes I remember when Hitler came into power by removing Joseph Stalin. /sarcasm

        It’s not a strange stance to hardline on that leaders should be democratically elected and never serve more than 2 terms.

        Yes, it could be so much worse with Madorko in power, at any moment, it could also be so much worse with any other absolute leader in power. There are no different levels of evil at play here that we need to be worried to the point of leaving him in power just to be safe. So, Venezuelans better get to playing musical chairs until their government lands on a real democracy.

            Idgaf where the sell or buy to and from. Right now the USA’s in a pretty shitty state, I think I’d rather they didn’t, but that sort of whataboutism to defend dictatorships is just Tankie-ism.

            EDIT: Didn’t Maduro offer to sell his counrty’s natural resources to the USA in return for recognizing his victory?
