    You think corporate CNN and MSNBC have a left wing agenda. They have a bias towards left wing economics and are anti war. Against their own interests. I can't man. It's just incredible.

    It's off-topic, but this "anti-war" thing bugs me.
    Of course, everyone on earth is "anti-war."
    Even Hitler was "anti-war", he just wanted all
    other countries to roll over.
    I see the term "anti-war" as virtue signalling,
    and its proponents are stooges to every war
    monger on the planet, including Ho Chi Minh,
    Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein and even Putin.

    The clever thing for Europe and America is
    to just roll up to the Venezuelan border with
    tons of food and medical aid. And of course,
    waving a few flowers. CNN would love it.

    When the President suggests we pull out of Syria, CNN and MSNBC oppose it dishonestly. They propagate for the New Cold War relentlessly. Dissenters are smeared as traitors working for Putin. Talking with North Korea to get them to disarm is somehow dangerous. What's the alternative? They ignore US participation in "the world's worst humanitarian crisis" (Yemen) while they simaltanously demonize Tulsi Gabbard for opposing US regime change efforts in Syria and Venezuela. Also while the US supports dictatorships everywhere.

    Sure... but those form other American countries are same way UN and rejected too. So the rejection of Maduro of these other aid deliveries is same way political motivated as the US aid ... and also the aid deliveries of Russia are same way political motivated with humanity minor importent.


    If Maduro and his regime as a rich oil country are unable to provide enough foreign exchange and trade to stabilize supply and the economy, then the question of why ...
    The answer of those who call Maduro a victim of the US, of course, is that it's all the US and the evil West's fault ...
    But the fact is that it is due to incredible corruption and incompetence of the regime.
    Of course, the price of oil is lower = the income is lower for Venezuela ... but that applies to all countries that promote oil! So it's just a stupid excuse, if that's the reason!



    Yes, but what did the police before?and what is not shown on this video, eh? Cause and effect ...

    Did I ever excuse the USA for Lybia and Iraq? No ... I accuse them to have done crap and I also accuse them for Syria too. But this does not change the fact that Maduro is a dictator and his so called democracy is a farce!

    ...and the Pentagon Papers made it very clear that it was not so much an error, but a deliberate act and deliberate deception, an institutionalized deception.

    In a dictatorship, this would not be permitted, especially in the middle of a city.

    I’m sure if Maduro survives, payback will be swift, brutal, and bloody—-hard to put away your opposition when the whole world is watching.

    I’m betting the FAES knows where they live.

    From Maduro’s LaLa land:
    "You know that in your own home you don't even have a kilo of rice," said the female soldier, who requested anonymity, fearing for the safety of the children she left back home. "And I'm supposed to stay here fighting, why?"

    A Russian base in VZ? Then Putin encouraged Maduro to ask for exactly what he is about to get.

    Is the Russian fleet off VZ now? How many divisions have the Russian/Chinese got in VZ?

    I don't think that Russia or China have any troops in Venezuela, or it would be blasted all over the news. What Russia probably has are agents all over the place doing what they do best - taking recordings and videos to catch the protesters and their handlers in the act. Not that it matters to Washington, since none of it will be on the MSM.

    Anyway in case of an American invasion Venezuela is too far from Russia to send troops, or at least not in the beginning. I'm sure though that preparations are being made inside of Venezuela for any eventuality - or at least by Russia if not by China since they want to secure their investments regardless of what government is in power.

    He is to blame for starting the crisis. Other factors made it worse and prevented a recovery. It's not either or.

    Of course Putin encouraged it, I mean Maduro was perfectly loved by Washington, so why would he ask for a Russian base otherwise?



    I give up!

    Anonymous sources are the stock in trade of the US/mainstream media propaganda machine. Faux News is very much a cheerleader for all contemporary US military aggression and regime change actions.

    All of that hatred just because capitalists like to make money and socialists like to make corpses.

    Oh. They're not starving. It's all a big capitalist lie. Yet, why is it that socialist countries that try a little capitalism always improve, China for example; and those capitalist countries that are given a little socialism, degenerate, as in Hong Kong? And why is it that those countries that dive into the deep end of socialism, Venezuela, for example, fall into despair and misery? American conspiracy, or the nature of the beast?

    LOL! And you wonder why the USG Deep State wants to overthrow Maduro.
    So far, Putin and Xi have been smart enough not to become declared enemies of the USG.
    Maduro? Not that smart. ;-)

    I happened to watch Ingraham dress down Col Walt for opposing the withdrawal from Syria. Many conservatives, not all, have soured on endless war.
    OTOH, the MSM is now itching for more war.
