There is something funny about kidnapping a country's leader, leaving, and then saying you run the country now. I think you have to do a bunch more stuff for that. And have to be over there, not in Florida.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

The kidnapping of Maduro inaugurates a highly dangerous era of U.S. empire that for perhaps the first time in an era of mass media is not pretending to be anything other than a violent, extractive enterprise of domination.

So much of American history is just impulsive and extremely stupid elites, who don't believe in consequences because they have never personally experienced them, doing highly consequential stuff because they're bored or believe it might make them richer. I guess a lot of our culture, too.

A 12-year-old was sexually abused by her adoptive dad. But when she told police, Taylor Cadle was dismissed and met with immense pressure to recant.
The detective “made me feel like the monster.”

Police didn’t believe a 12-year-old who said she'd been raped. Then she hit record.

The invasion of Venezuela is not about drugs or oil. It’s about extracting the rare minerals in the ground to fund their AI processing chips. Why do you think every tech billionaire was at the inauguration?

This is a weird story. We do not have military control over any of the country. Why would they be allowed in? Why would they be allowed their freedom?
And there ya have it…
Officials from top Wall Street firms will be traveling to Venezuela to investigate “investment prospects” of the country. “The trip will feature about 20 officials from the finance, energy and defense sectors.”

Wenn mich eins wirklich ankotzt, über alle politischen Grenzen hinweg, dann ist es Feigheit. Insbesondere Feigheit von Leuten mit Macht. Wer sich einer Wahl stellt und ein demokratisches Votum bekommt Menschen zu repräsentieren darf nie feig sein. Wir erleben leider ein Europa der Feigheit.

Nobel Peace Prize laureate lacks "respect". 🤔
Trump on María Corina Machado: "I think it'd be very tough for her to be the leader. She doesn't have the support or the respect within the country. She's a very nice woman but she doesn't have the respect."

This Trump speech is much bigger than Venezuela. He talked about the Monroe Doctrine - about America’s sphere of influence. He’s warning that any country close to the US must bow to the needs of America or power will be exerted.

you don't need to add caveats agreeing that the head of state abducted is a bad guy before opposing abduction of a head of state by military force. If the rule was any head of government is fair game then the entire world would be a series of decapitation strikes and show trials in foreign courts.

Allow me to connect some dots for you:
Too much of the world currently relies for its basic functions on resources which must be continuously extracted. You burn that oil one time and oops, now you need more.
Geopolitical horrors are, in fact, one of the reasons we need to move to renewables ASAP.
