    The media will ignore them, and most people won’t even realize they now live under a fascist regime.

    But hey. Trump sure showed those Ghayze a thing or two.

        Our corporate media censored them HARD. Largest protest in US history and it was reported underneath Kim Kardashian’s underwear in the NYT. Not making it up.

          Yup.

          Our media has utterly failed our democracy. It’s one of the most blatant indicators of a democracy coming to an end.

          Buckle up.

    We all saw the slave markets that happened when gaddafi fell. Oil CEOs need to burn (ideally in some kind of legal process) for this. This kind of intervention always results in a corrupt colonial leader (best case) or an absolute power vacuum (worst case). Either way I’m sure that the number of people fleeing from venezuela are about to skyrocket.

    Its money that would be better spent on healthcare imo. Oil companies are the most subsidized “private” businesses in existence.

        Yes and no. Did they rubber stamp this plan? Prob not. Have they been bitching to republicans about venezuela nationalizing their infrastructure for 20 years? Yes.

        I mean look at cuba. The US has been after them for 70 years because it fucked up a bunch of mobster casino guys grand master plans. The US government will spend 20 dollars on petty business grievances from half a century ago before it pays a dollar helping like a mom in the US pay medical bill for having a baby today.

        Edit: also this
