What we wished for was more south-south discussions. All we ever hear is a constant north-north warring babble. They’ve always been melodramatic even after extracting resources, plundering & murdering. They’re still holding the majority world to ransom. It’s the permanent calcified world order.

Euro-US colonial brokering. We all thought Denmark had signed 'wide-ranging autonomy' for Greenland and the Indigenous peoples of Greenland in 2009.
Nah, they'd rather underwrite US takeover of 'small pockets of land' which were never theirs to begin with. Why not relinquish Copenhagen? All of it.

The most important point is that it is not OUR place to enforce an election in Venezuela.
Especially when our own civil rights are being rapidly stripped from us by this same president.
