it’s incredibly shameful how these oposition figures are so quick to give away their country to the Orange Pedo for a shot at the presidency… not a thought about the Venezuelan people

I lost count of the many “if x happens we’ll act” excuses…

wow you guys truly have a victim’s complex

Serious question, what sort of constitutional amendment would you think would be enough to earn the world’s trust back?

None. The issue is not that you don’t have the right legal framework (although we can discuss a lot in that area). The problem is that you made it clear that whatever laws are in the books, they are for the poor people, if you are rich you are above the law and finally here we are. Trump has broken laws, ethical guidelines, policies, etc and literally nothing has happened.

Without changing a single law, if you had actually prosecuted Bush for war crimes (and actually punish him and his regime) we would not be here.

Some people alluded that Germany is trusted after the Nazis, but they seem to fail to see that they literally had to hang Nazis, ban all things Nazi and eat crow for a long while before things started turning.

Oh, you can fight us off from taking over other places; I was referring to other places trying to defeat us on our home turf.

nobody wants that and the internal infighting will take care of most of it anyway

Then, please organize and fight… don’t give up before attempting to leave the couch!

As an American, yes. There’s no way to take us on militarily

This is what you get wrong all the time… sure we cannot fight you head on and win… but you cannot colonize the world either. You could destroy the world and if so, congrats becoming kings of the smoldering leftover Earth

The USA thinks they can just conquer the world and plunder but history showed you could not do that in Vietnam, in Afghanistan, in Iran or Iraq… and this was when nobody at home was suffering much and nobody there cared about the brown people being slaughtered on the other side of the world

not sure what you call “last time” but in my last time, the USA became a distrusted entity with Bush and that never recovered. Now, it’s an active enemy (so it does keep getting worse)

Muricans, you do realize this is the end for you, right?

Nobody in the rest of the world will ever trust the USA. If you are still naive enough to think you can vote him out later, and by some miracle that does happen, the rest of the world will always distrust you

Does that include the US troops already stationed in Greenland?

How many other heads of state do you remember being kidnapped from their palace, like from anywhere?

how many have been tried?

you’ve never been to Venezuela, have you?

Ok not sure what you are talking about here… but in any case, the USA is just going to do what it always does, steal the oil, make the big oil companies richer, still sell gas expensive to everyone… that is not helping Venezuelans in anyway

I agree… but my point here is that it does not matter it was China who said “x”, in this instance “x” is right and people are dismissing it because “cHiNA” but the reality is that every country, powerful enough, acts pretty much the same so I am attempting to split the source from the message

China is an authoritarian dictatorship that tramples human rights and treats its citizens like resources and speed-bumps and treats “free speech” as the joke it actually is.

if you switched “China” to “The USA” in this sentence, I would have to find details to see if the scale is different but both do exactly the same

and the US just did demonstrate their military is still highly effective

hmmmm sucker punching Venezuela here is not the flex you seem to think it is

the USA loves to bat weaker military powers around but they have been shown to be crushed by peasants in the long run…

different from other imperialists nations, how?

again, how is any of that going to improve? the orange pedophile is doing the same to his own people, do you really think he’ll respect human rights of Venezuelans?

I am not saying Maduro was good in any way, but Venezuelans just fell from the frying pan into the fire but seem too close to see it

so like all other trump problems, the only advantage is when he backtracks from his own mess

same way I agree to give up my wallet when getting mugged?
