      Thing is, will it? The Venezuelan state still seems to be running itself, with vice president and ministers still occupying their posts. Maduro himself isn’t some embodiment of PSUV and the party can continue existing and governing without him.

      Simply kidnapping Maduro without leaving behind boots on ground does very little besides intimidation. That can work for extracting concessions, but not for ruling a country. Either the rumoured second attack is coming soon or this might be negotiation tactics for full privatisation of the oil but leaving the government be.

      When I heard that interview of Machado saying “he has to go”, I had memories of every single time I heard that phrase about Assad. I thought it was impossible then, and I thought it was impossible for Maduro, now I don’t believe any anti imperialist country is safe. Not Yemen, not Iran, not even Russia at this point. The Empire is still this capable and they’ve shown it again.

    Today feels like living in a completely insane alternate reality. Kidnapping a foreign president and charging him on crimes based on another country’s laws is just insane beyond words. And all western leaders are having piss luke warm reactions. I don’t care anymore.

    Practice proper discipline. Don’t share unsubstantiated news, don’t believe unconfirmed reports. 10 Twitter accounts reposting the exact same video is not confirmation of events.

    Don’t trust the enemy to tell you what’s happening, wait for confirmation from blue side. In a revolutionary situation we carry on as usual and wait for our side to give the go-ahead on how to react. Practice it.

      I hope usa becomes a graveyard for US soldiers. In my dream Russia gave Venezuela an oreshnik and they have targeted the Reddit astroturfing base in Florida.

      I’ve been extremely busy for this last year. I almost never even get a chance to long in. But logged in tonight just to say this:

      DEATH TO AMERIKKKA. Glass that Fourth Reich shithole.

      Peace will never be possible as long as the Great Satan exists.

      Amerikkka is an existential threat to the world and must be dealt with accordingly.

      Sorry for having no chill. I can’t take this shit anymore.

    My heart goes to Venezuela and its people. I hope this will end in Venezuela’s ultimate victory and as fast as possible. Fuck the us, 2026 should be its final year.

          And the US has tens of millions of Mexicans living in it with lots of family still in Mexico. That’s a nice way to get yourself redacted as a politician.

      Mexico just put tariffs on china to suck up to usa. Sheinbaum is nice and all but she is a dem-suc and will do exactly what Kautsky did, she’ll side with imperialists to protect the fatherland.

    🇻🇪The Venezuelan Defense Minister stated that Venezuela “will not negotiate, will not surrender, and will ultimately win”.

      “Will not negotiate” is good to see. Empire cannot be negotiated with, you must use force to defend yourself from it, it’s the only way

    Btw USA advised it’s citizens to leave Russia because of “threats of terrorism” - like they did hours before the Crocus City Hall massacre last year. So empire would probably attempt another mass killing in Russia in a few days.

      I don’t read/hear a statement from Kallas every day but every time I do, it is in the running for the stupidest thing I have read/heard that day. The only thing she is good for is reminding me that my brain is not yet cured of the habit of thinking sexist slurs.

    Once again coming back: you know how bad the US is right now if pictures of Venezuala’s refugees in the US over at r/news and r/pics get a bad rep lol. If two of the most astroturfed subs don’t agree with this you’re down bad.
