    I can’t believe that the Venezuelan government and the current US government are really at odds with one another. They seem to do the same type of stupid things. They are so much alike in so many ways.

    It’s great that world leaders seem to be so easily influenced by a simple medal.

      Yeah no. If people give someone that wants to plunge your country into civil and international war a nobel peace prize, then this is not at all “theater”, this is honestly not even enough.

        The people there are alredy in a civil strife against what they claim is an undemocratic and repressive government. There’s other Nobel Peace Prizes given to people who hve fought to topple a repressive regime, fighting for independence etc. So that in itself is nothing new or different.

      The person awarded the Peace medal supports Trump and has praised him bombing random Venezuelan boats and calls for further attacks within Venezuela, including requesting assistance from Israel. She has been goading for war for years.

        It’s not very shocking that someone who from their POV is fighting against a dictatorial government would want someone to intervene on their behalf. Of course they’re going to try to get the US on their side.

        Just because I dislike the government of Venezuela doesn’t mean I support trump or Israel, or whoever the fuck won the prize. it’s like you got a one track mind. Israel Israel Israel, that’s why the left got destroyed by the MAGA nuts.

        Let’s be clear I despise Americans, i think the world would be a better place if they all disappeared today.

        There’s this collective dementia with people now where if you dislike a piece of shit, it must mean you love this other piece of shit! It’s sick.

        As far as im concerned Venezuela should bomb a bunch of boats on American water to show them what it’s like, but I hate both of these governments

        Ps: if you are an American shut the fuck up and stop trying to police the world and fix your own dumpster fire. Let the people who got their shit together deal with Israel. You colonizing war loving Americans only cheapen the cause

          I’m saying Machado who won the prize supports global fascist movements such as MAGA and Zionism. She dedicated her prize to Trump, they are friendly with each other. So I find it hard to trust her positions and the things she says. Whatever issues with the Venezuelan government I’ve seen don’t compare to genocide and fascism.

          Anti genocide and settler colonialism people did not make Harris lost. She lost because she is dumb politically and was bad at everything especially economy. Being able to fool people who cares about economy and domestic security is the reason why Trump won

            Putin, Netanyahu and trump pumped Americans full of anti democrat propaganda and the American left ate it up. They splintered into dozens of sub groups and let the right unify and beat them

              They don’t need to pump anything up, there are mountains of atrocities commited by the US plain to see without the influence of ‘connoving foreigners’, that the Democrat party supports. The right is unified because of billions of dollars from US federal funds and other wealthy sources, psychological operations and material support for right wing groups globally, while constantly crushing any semblence of truly left wing dissent for decades.

              Netanyahu don’t care who wins. He will praise it’s funders who are in power because he get billions of dollars to maintain the occupation and commit genocide from both parties. Trump profited from Harris dumbness to fool people who cared about economy and domestic security.

              The only think you are right about is Putin genuinely preferring Trump

                Yeah no I think Netanyahu made it pretty clear he preferred Trump. Sure he’d have been fine with Harris I bet, but Trump obviously gives him easier Avenues to pursue.

        Probably strategic. Everyone knows that he has been vying for it and was prepared to make an enemy of anyone who won it. She shouldn’t have endorsed Trump, even tacitly, but she headed off a dangerous enemy.

          The only thing she’s strategically doing is hoping Trump makes her the new Pinochet. She’s a fucking ghoul.

            Maduro’s already sacrificed millions who are now refugees and thousands who have been disappeared. Seems like someone whose main agenda is just fair elections and human rights couldn’t be worse than that.

              By sacrifice I mean people literally getting murdering by strikes that is what it would happen if the USA goes to war.

              What human rights BS are you talking about she support killing Venezuelan and is support a settler colonial power called Israel very known for one of the worst human right abuses

              Why is it hard for you to oppose Maduro without supporting another criminal?
