The United States hit Venezuela with a “large-scale strike” early Saturday and said its president, Nicolás Maduro, had been captured and flown out of the country after months of stepped-up pressure by Washington — an extraordinary nighttime operation announced by President Donald Trump on social media hours after the attack. Multiple explosions rang out and low-flying aircraft swept through Caracas, the capital, as Maduro's government immediately accused the United States of attacking civilian and military installations.
Huh I’ve been hearing this from leftists as well actually, as a reason for China’s inaction.
It is plausible that China sees is as a breather from USA’s pressure on East Asia (remember Japan’s statements about Taiwan?).
But their take on this plausibility makes my blood boil. It’s just pure unadulterated copaganda slop with zero info on current political landscape.
