If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time?

After the Trump/GOP/MAGA opening salvo on democracy in 2020, 100+ businesses crowed about not giving money to election deniers. Many of us knew it would be short-lived, a PR stunt. We were right.

However, there are just 10 companies remaining true to their word.

I wrote about the spectacle of the Nicolás Maduro arraignment—and how the Trump administration will now be forced to offer at least two Venezuelans the basic human rights the government has denied those disappeared to brutal prisons or murdered in the high seas. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...
The Dramatic Arraignment of Nicolás Maduro
By forcibly bringing the ousted President and his wife into jurisdiction of U.S. federal courts, Trump will now have to accept that at least two Venezuelans deserve the basic right to due process.

The U.S. is a rogue state which should be sanctioned and condemned by the international community for our flagrant violations of international law and the peace of the world. We won't be, because imperialists tend to stick together.

Your occasional reminder that Trump is the most unpopular president in modern (post-WWII) times.

He's underwater in 40 states with the remaining ten representing only 59 of the total 538 electoral votes (!)

If only media would preface and frame their POTUS coverage with these telling data.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

So many in media are ill-equipped to interview officials about what’s happening because they begin with the presumption of legitimacy and don’t know enough about history or U.S. foreign policy to foment intelligent pushback and hold officials accountable.

16 hours in, my guess this was all intended basically as a coup to put VP Delcy Rodriguez in power (likely without her knowledge but 🤷).

At least for democracy & human rights, that might be even worse than the "opening shots in a war" scenario.
