Normally I like NPR but their bias really has shown through in their coverage of this particular news item.

I've only been listening to the Democracy Now coverage on Venezuela so my perspective is probably pretty limited on the humanitarian aid issue, and I wanted to know if you could elaborate a little further on this. From what I understand, the UN and the Red Cross are refusing to assist the US in delivering supplies because they say it's politically motivated, meme seems to check out to me but what the gently caress do I know I'm just an ignorant-rear end American so any light you could shine on this would be appreciated.

The guy in charge of the US's humanitarian aid efforts has a track record of using humanitarian aid efforts as camouflage for like, giving weapons and poo poo to groups to overthrow the current government, for one thing

Oh, I'm probably less informed than your are overall but their coverage of it has mostly been "US urges generals and military to let in aid and that they need not feel loyalty to a regime that denies humanitarian aid to its people" while calling Venezuela a failed state and saying the opposition leader is 100% the legitimate president, which I genuinely haven't looked into the background of the elections so I don't really know. A little bit more nuanced than that but still.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

by "set on fire" you mean "accidentally hit by a Molotov thrown by one of the people the weapons were intended for", I feel like that detail is important. and loving hilarious

Oh great now the meme thread is talking about my home country too great just what I wanted.

https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3738387 has plenty of discussion about Venezuela if you're interested in the situation. The OP (Chuck) does a great job at sharing information since he's a Venezuelan-american that is focusing his... Uh... Thesis? On the current Venezuelan issues, so he's got a bunch of good info.

Needless to say it IS a more nuances subject than just "America bad" but I avoid discussing it with non Venezuelans because 9/10 times I get angry.

I know this comes as a shock to Americans, but your country is evil and has done pretty much nothing but evil things the last few decades. It's just that no one can oppose you so the best we can do is to at least not play along with you every now and then as you continue to do evil things
