Before the days drama you had a quite a few reports of successful aid shipments from Brazil through the border checkpoint and the police down there getting attacked by a native tribe.

Police killed a few people down there over today/yesterday.

https://twitter.com/jguaido/status/1099497510836547585

Guaido says: "What happened today has forced me to make a decision: to formally propose to the International Community [sic] that we should keep all options open to achieve the liberation of our Homeland which is fighting and will continue to fight. Hope was born to never die, Venezuela!"

Guaido also said that he's attending the Lima Group meeting on Monday, which is taking place in Bogota, so it sounds like he'll formally make that request there.

I'm sure a shook journalist is going to force a desktop webpage on an ancient HTC hero. It doesn't make any sense. The easiest explanation for why twitter is reporting it being sent from a desktop is that it was sent from a desktop, not because someone on the run from a maduro goon squad chose to load a graphics and media rich version of the site to type out her plea for help.

She might be if loading the mobile site gives popup to install the app, which if already installed on someone elses phone is logged in for someone else. And if not installed, is a loving waste to install on someone elses phone and leave your login info on.

She might be bullshitting, but I'd rather give the benefit of the doubt when they have robbed journalists before.

edit : Its an option that takes literally 0.1 of a second to select. I am assuming you are an iphone guy, because most android users try it on a daily basis on all sorts of websites that once they detect you are mobile they try to force you to download their app.

Yes. All the more bad because earlier in the thread I said that the Venezuelan Constitution does not allow for the National Assembly to authorize foreign military operations in Venezuela, but I was just looking at that section again and I think that I was wrong. Here's the text of Article 187(11) in Spanish:

quote:

187. Corresponde a la Asamblea Nacional:
(11) Autorizar el empleo de misiones militares venezolanas en el exterior o extranjeras en el país.

Which translates to:

quote:

187. The National Assembly can:
(11) Authorize the deployment of Venezuelan military missions abroad or foreign [military missions] in the country.

And now I'm off for the night.

You don't understand useragents in HTTP requests and how easy it is to change them or have them misconfigured. It's not even that obscure, Chrome for Android has this as a toggable setting in the options menu.

Seriously



You see that "Desktop site" box? It makes Chrome start sending HTTP requests with desktop chrome as the user agent, to force the server to serve the desktop version instead of the mobile site.

And because you're using this desktop user agent, Twitter will serve up Twitter web client as your source, even if you are on a phone.
