Until the US ends the drug war, provides ample healthcare, stops sending people to foreign prisons, stops kidnapping immigrants, and stops using solitary confinement - NO I will NOT stop talking about politics.

Denmark is a NATO ally. Talking about annexing Greenland is insane.
Every pundit, think tanker, “professional”, etc. who whitewashes it should never be close to power again.

As of this week, millions of Americans are now paying thousands more for health insurance.
If the President and Congressional GOP think Washington has the capacity to "run" Venezuela right now, why won't they fix the insurance cost crisis they've created here at home?

The weirdest thing about Americans is how many of them think their laws apply to every person in the world.
But they're certain other countries' laws don't apply to them.

In our name, with our money, ostensibly for oil, but mostly because we have a president who's addicted to power and attention and needs to deflect from being friends with the world’s most famous pedophile. Shame on these fucking monsters who run my country. They need out.

On the colonial invasion of Venezuela and the relevance of the petrodollar:
Henry Kissinger made a deal with Saudi Arabia in 1974 that kept America the dominant economic power for 50 years via the petrodollar.
Venezuela threatens that hegemony.

If the United States had an opposition party, they would treat this as an illegitimate act and start impeachment proceedings immediately.

Nothing about this is okay.
The President of the United States is on Fox News right now gabbing about the U.S. attack on Venezuela before addressing the American people.
So the new order of information is: Truth Social → Fox News → the public → Congress, maybe?

Perhaps now people will stop wishcasting about the US military refusing illegal orders. That's not a thing that happens. The 100% compliance rate with using civilian boats for target practice was a bit of a tell.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Emergency Declaration: We condemn the Imperialist Attack by the U.S. against Venezuela and the Kidnapping of Maduro
The Current for Permanent Revolution – Fourth International (CPR-FI) categorically and vehemently condemns the military attack perpetrated by the United States against Venezuela. This is direct, deliberate, and criminal imperialist aggression against an oppressed country and constitutes a flagrant violation of Venezuelan sovereignty. We call for the greatest possible international mobilization.
