Gettin' real excited for the jacobin article about how new sanctions on a handful of PSUV bigwigs prove that regime change is immanent and therefore you really can't blame Maduro for the motorbike death squads because both sides ya know

they put out an article saying maduro is bad and now crazy people are saying they're a CIA front

Juan Manuel Santos rejecting any prospect of u.s. military intervention in Venezuela.

Am I right about Santos probably being the best conservative politician in the world (maybe alongside Merkel)? Seems like a genuine peacenik

anyone looks good if you compare them to uribe

it's too bad he's massively unpopular, I'm hoping whoever comes after him doesn't tear up the peace agreement

also please note that dilma was not impeached for corruption, but for using an accounting trick in the budget to make it balance out

every previous president had done the same thing

that's clearly cia propaganda planted in a newspaper and not evidence that maduro is bad

i'm not saying that the opposition is good, but that's not a way to argue for the current venezuelan government

messed up that the venezuelan government's website is posting cia propaganda

does this say 87% of brazilians support military intervention? i assume that from google searching the two big words in the headline

87% of brazilians support the strike, but they don't want to pay for what the strikers are demanding

literally "87% support the strike, but they refuse to pay the bill"
