The US has no moral authority to attack Venezuela, regardless of Maduro’s authoritarian nature. Both can be true: Maduro is a dictator who caused immense harm to his people, and US military intervention is an illegal act of aggression that will not resolve the crisis of democracy in Venezuela.
The region’s future must be determined by people themselves, free from the shadow of empire

You’re right, despite your confessed ignorance.
The US has been doing it since the beginning, including the invasion of Quebec in 1775. The only difference now is that everything gets broadcast, especially on social media.
Trump just sent a very dangerous message to
Latin Americathe worldHe just said to China, go ahead and invade Taiwan, we aren’t going to stop it.
The entire world is going to turn into 3 or 4 monopolies, just like American corporations
Central/South America would be well served from establishing something like the EU. The US has too long been able to act with little impunity in their back yard and the world suffers for it.
The moment they start even trying to organize themselves, the US will bomb them. So many US-backed coups in Latin America, and they still have the audacity of complaining about immigration.
Venezuela is not a part of Mercosur
I mean even if it was, I don’t think Mercosur has the teeth to prevent this sorta thing.
I’m confused about what you think the EU is if you think it has “teeth”.
surely they can do economic sanctions right?
its not only latin america. i hope we remove all their military bases in europe, ban all air charter from us and let the demographic of a failed state with missmanaged economy do their work.
Europe doesn’t have the stones to ask Trump politely to stop, much less anything else on that list of fantasies.
You can vote on it right?
Europe is a democracy unlike China.
What’s the point of democracy if you can vote only once every 4 years? That’s like 15 times in a lifetime.
I’d say it would be perfectly fair if some country wanted to come to the US to kidnap a despotic leader and hold them accountable in an international court of some sort. You know, now that the precedent is set.
All the oil, cocain and rare earth’s are mine!

Removed by mod

i mostly view getting banned from there as a positive even though i kinda made it seem like i agree with usa kidnapping heads of state
They can’t do anything about it. So what’s the point?

Say what you will about Trump but it’s a well calculated move.
If democrats step in, he’ll accuse them of supporting rigged elections. Meanwhile the hidden lesson in allowing this to happen is that Trump is above the law.
It fits Trump perfectly, and the purpose is of course to get incredibly rich.
Democrats would have done the same. Obama invaded 8 countries in 2016.
Elections are for entertainment for show for the masses. The people who actually run the Western world are the billionaires and the 3 letter organisations.
