We're not going to control the pandemic!

It is a slaughter and not just a political dispute.

The head of the PMC was all too eager to publicly admit that his company staged a coup and it failed miserably.

It seriously sounds like he was paid to take a dive.

How about the US stops causing coup attempts and destabilizing Latin America? Maduro's government is not ideal, but US has a long history in region of supporting strongmen dictators who lean right and have drug ties. It's not about brown people having democracy or sovereignty. It's not about human rights. It's all about not butting the fuck out of other nation's own affairs. Because this is a developing country putting them through the ringer like this is ok, armed mercenaries and coup attempts ok, drug flow constant to the north while locals in region suffer? That's alright.

This was so laughable an attempt compared to Bay of Pigs have to wonder if this was an actual U.S. operation. Then again it's plausible as a Trump impulse drive, with the JCS all doing a Fauci facepalm.

The Bay of Pigs were former mobsters and exiles the CIA hired. America doesn't do it openly but who else is pulling the strings in Latin America? The US president mentioned use of force or military option, hires American mercenary group that was in Iraq, gets the vendido rightist Colombian president to just say 'yes master's and jump to his orders. This scenario us old, especially to Latinos from the region. It's not news that the US is behind this as all other destabilization, invasions by white warlords in the banana republic era, keeping latin america in bondage during the cold war and being the number one nightmare even now. Beware free nations, your country will only be determined to respect human rights and be democratic if your nation doesnt impede the march of globalized capital and if your resources are sold to multinational corporations.

Didn't Venezuela attack a cruise ship last month while claiming it too was also a cover for a terrorist invasion?

At this point they will attack a rowboat and claim it was actually a nuclear powered metal gear.
