    Yea, what did the press expect to happen, there’s a reason little Marco gets called the viceroy of Venezuela.

    Exxon etc. get to be the 21st century east India company. Latin America should be arming and uniting right now, Trump and the USA can pick each country off individually but not if they act together.

      Venezuelans were repeatedly told they were trading one dictator for another with Trump by literally every other Latin American that isn’t a right wing dickwad, and their response was to tell every other Latin American to shut up because “they don’t know what it’s like” (never mind the fact that nearly every Latin American country had to survive through US backed dictatorships) or that they knew they were going to take the oil but that it was a step in the right direction 🙄.

      Venezuelan online discourse now loves to shit on Delcy’s puppet government while conveniently forgetting to mention who keeps it propped up.

      Instead apparently they look at the far reich shit shows around the world and have decided “yes please, I’ll have some of that too.”
