Maduro offering new presidential elections to the opposition and the US vetoing the offer

Meanwhile total media and political establishment silence on the protests in Honduras
https://twitter.com/leftiblog/status/1159125996030713856

Timeline here is
2005, Zelaya defeats incumbent and agricultural landowner Pepe Lobo for presidency
2008, Honduras joins the Bolivarian alliance under Zelaya
2009, military ousts Zelaya for considering amending the constitution to allow the reelection of a President
2009, Coup is condemned internationally, even by the OAS, but given stamp of approval by Obama/Clinton
2009, with Zelaya in exile, the National Party's Pepe Lobo wins back presidency
2010, Honduras leaves the Bolivarian alliance
2013, National Party candidate Juan Orlando Hernandez (JOH) wins election as opposition splits its vote
2014, twelve environmental activists are killed
2016, indigenous leader and environmental activist Berta Caceres is assassinated by US-trained School of the Americas troops backed by banking interests
2017, Re-election ban for Presidents is now lifted so JOH can run again
2017, JOH is losing re-election by 5 points when the vote count is "paused" for 36 hours, then unpaused and JOH comes back and wins, even the Economist declares election is stolen
2019, JOH, who the US praised as an ally in the "war on drugs," is indicted for drug trafficking

But the US prefers to focus its efforts on overthrowing legitimately elected Nicolas Maduro

I can't believe you would post this without the full context of the paywalled article

if you read the whole article you would see that bolton is perfectly right to not only torpedo negotiations, but to ratchet up sanctions and embargo/blockade venezuela

You have one thats very vocal that has posted a dozen times that he doesn't believe the food crisis is real.

There are a few others that are hard skeptics that post poo poo like google reviews of restaurants that somehow proves the poor aren't starving.

i never once posted that the food crisis is faked 536. does it seriously break your brain that I'm not sure about the food crisis? both you and fnox want me to give a hard yes/no when I don't think there's enough evidence to make such assertions, and you just assume i secretly think "no, no food crisis" cause how could someone not immediately agree or disagree?

apparently the takeaway i'm supposed to be getting is that sanctions and embargoes are the way for venezuela to finally get the humanitarian aid it deserves. or something. I've never heard of a country being returned to prosperity from humanitarian aid, and I don't see how crushing the economy into a fine powder after maduro's supposedly crushed it to pieces is supposed to help recovery but apparently there are big studies that show that totally annihilating a country economically is just a great way to recover from previous mismanagement

Talking about how hard empathy is, sometimes when I talk to or read things written by American military people and they start on about honor and duty etc, I feel like I'm looking at some kind of amazon tribes person who just stepped out of the jungle and is wearing a penis sheath with a bone in through their nose shaking a rattle and saying "ooga booga." Like its completely foreign to me, they might as well be trying to explain Buddhist scripture. It's something I know they take seriously but I think I'll always have a hard time getting in their head.

It's the same problem I have with sincerely religious people. On an intellectual level I know they many of them must actually believe in faith and god and all that. . . but it's so divorced from my own experience I tend to assume its just a mask for something I can grasp like greed or humanism or w/e. Again intellectually I know this is wrong and many people actually do believe in religions. . . it's just very hard for me to relate.

Lightning Knight posted:

it was gassed because none of us enjoyed dealing with it anymore and it was generating a disproportionate number of reports. it also was very old and had a baseline bias towards people who support intervention due to how the OP and thread were structured. we basically gave up on it.

the Latin America thread has become the de facto catch all and is generally better mostly because it doesn’t have the same baggage.

it doesn't help that PPJ was clearly unwilling to do what needed to be done to fix the thread. a disproportionate amount of reports came from the pro-intervention side, and PPJ would even baby them by doing stuff like giving me a month probe for not taking a strong stance on what exactly is happening in venezuela thanks to it literally being the subject of american regime change and propaganda efforts

reversal of fortune probations would work very well when you have a pissy old-guard that tries to keep debate out of their spaces via report spamming, but that would involve not coddling a stagnant community in D&D and so PPJ shrugged and gave in to the worst parts of D&D
