THE BBC has told its reporters not to use the word “kidnapped” when describing the US government’s allegedly illegal abduction of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.
The directive was revealed by The National contributor Owen Jones, who said it had been passed to him by a member of BBC staff.
American here. We kidnapped Maduro. Let’s not pretend our actions weren’t exactly what they were.
Use whatever words you want to describe it, but the fact is our military invaded their land, forcably took a man and wife against their will, and relocated them to the united states. Where they remain. Held against their will.
That’s straight up kidnapping.
The BBC are genocide apologists, so little things like this don’t surprise me.
Maduro willingly got on the helicopter because he wanted to leave the country.
Not that it will stop people from manufacturing consent for another war

Also many other reports like this one
Source is the two wana be dictators constantly sucking each other off whenever they talked about each other for the last 5 years.
Bro
Edit: .ml lmao. Blocked
if you think all of .ml is out of line, do what the rest of us do and instance block. however you are saying something completely out of alignment with any of what the rest of us can find and are absolutely certain you’re correct. all the rest of us are asking is that you direct us in a way that helps us understand where you’re coming from. Trump is chummy with dictators, but specifically nuclear ones. i don’t recall him ever palling around with Maduro. it seems to me that the US military has kidnapped him
Tldr
I detest tankies and instance blocked *.ml and hexbear the instant that feature was added to lemmy.
… Yeah, no.
The dude was about to flee the country this year as the 40% unemployment mob caught up to him to skin him alive.
Maduro was going to leave Venezuela this year anyway, this lets him save face and Trump gets a way to manufacture conflict.
