      Just popped in at a spot where the rep from Argentina gave their full support for the kidnapping. Despicable.

        I’m still trying to work my way through the morass of the OHCHR report that is the source of the claims of “thousands murdered by the regime”, and one of the more curious things is that it was published under the guidance of Michelle Bachelet, former president of Chile and certainly not someone I would have imagined would publish a report with such paper thin backing.

    Who would have thought FIFA Peace Prize Winner and Peaceful Dove Donald Trump was capable of doing such a thing? The best thing your country can do to protect your sovereignty if you’re threatened by the United States is to develop nukes. DPRK isn’t being attacked right now and their economy has been growing.

        Wikipedia covers war criminals in Canada decently.

        Canada made it easier for Nazis to immigrate than for Jewish refugees after WWII due to their anti-communist policies. Since then, the government has largely refused to release information about their immigration policies surrounding former Nazis as well as the list of immigrants found to be former Nazi party members.

        The controversy surrounding parliament giving a standing ovation to a former Waffen SS member for his service “fighting the Russians” brought much of this to mainstream discourse. Who was fighting the Russians during WWII? The Nazis. If a country invited a bunch of Nazis to their nation, has a long history of antisemitism that contributed to deaths in the Holocaust, and are still celebrating and protecting Nazi war criminals…I think its fair to call them a Nazi cesspool. If they don’t want to be characterized this way, they should probably to actions to prove they aren’t, such as releasing the names of the known war criminals and extradite them for trial.

        You can find plenty of news articles on these topics from a couple years ago.

        Brother we gonna have to come to terms with it. Canada’s current conservative government cuts social welfare and has a province trying to run rogue to join the pedophile nazi terrorist state.

        You don’t suckle at american teet like that without ingesting the poison.

        Indigenuous populations, head taxes, and american brain rot. It’s not nearly as bad as america, but not being the worst doesn’t make you good.

    I think this starts the unravelling of the great peace we’ve lived with for the last 50 years. If everything is now fair game, globalization is now going to take a huge hit.

    Crimea, Taiwan, Kashmir, Sudan/Egypt, South China Sea.

    Once the illusion of protocol is gone, we are right back to might is right.

    So glad I dont have kids.

        Totally agree. Talking more about illusion of great peace. As a former UN worker, shit has been bad for ages but normal people are only feeling it now.

    Maduro might be an idiot, but the press needs to be vigilant here.

    “What right does the US have to do this?”

    “So other countries can do this to the US for similar reasons and not expect repercussions?”

        They don’t want to, they could do that easily.
        He is not liked as it is by ukrainians, and he would be replaced by the fascist Zalushny.
        Last year Zelenski gave medals to troops and Russia waited until he left to strike the building.
        They know exactly where he is and when.

              Great proof you have absolutely zero clue on the outside world. This stat is absolutely useless.

              Show me approval ratings, lil orc. Because according to Gallup, it’s 67%.

              Your bottox-infused shithead of a leader probably isn’t very happy about that.

                  My god you’re just straight up dumb.

                  I’m saying you’re using the wrong statistic to match your statement. Did your mother drink while she was pregnant? (pretty common in russia)

                  Even in the same article it says that he would still win.

                  My god, these trolls are getting dumber and dumber.

      Kidnapping of a head of state is completely illegal, and south american countries should be uniting and mobilizing for coming wars with the US to prevent similar intrigues in their own countries.

    I will be honest, I was expecting the US to do IOF / Palantir type actions and try to take out government and civilian leadership several levels deep. While taking out a single leader rarely does anything, removing an entire leadership structure in an already unstable situation can be devastating. The fact that, for now, the US is stopping at “just” Maduro encourages me that the Bolivarian Revolution will continue on, now with even more support from the people.

    I think now it will be a battle of how much the Trump admin can do in the face of international condemnation (outside of US vassal states, that is) and likely increased support of Venezuela from its neighbors. Trump will almost certainly dig in on sanctions until Venezuela hands over their oil. But I don’t see that happening, so I don’t know what happens.

    America is truly an evil country.

      Trump has admitted that there are a lot of CIA agents in Venezuela. It was also suspiciously easy for the USA to get Maduro out of the country.

      My guess is that the USA likely expects a coup to happen which will install a friendly regime.
