CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — At least seven explosions and low-flying aircraft were heard around 2 a.m. local time Saturday in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas. The government accused the United States of attacking civilian and military installations in multiple states.
[…]
Venezuela’s government, in the statement, called on its supporters to take to the streets.
“People to the streets!” the statement said. “The Bolivarian Government calls on all social and political forces in the country to activate mobilization plans and repudiate this imperialist attack.”
The statement added that President Nicolás Maduro had “ordered all national defense plans to be implemented” and declared “a state of external disturbance.” That state of emergency gives him the power to suspend people’s rights and expand the role of the armed forces.
The USA pretends to be a democracy, but in fact it is a criminal, pirate state, they steal what they want, kill whom they want. Fortunately, Trump’s coming to power marked the beginning of the collapse of that anti-human state. Americans of all political persuasions will continue to shout “thank you for your service” to every military person responsible for killing civilians and invading land belonging to others just for the opportunity to make money. Fuck USA.
My Dad was a helicopter pilot in the Army during the late 50s/early 60s, stationed in South Korea. He’s gone now, so I can’t ask for clarification, but he used to tell the story about flying the President of South Korea around just before his re-election. It was the night before the election, and they had been told they wouldn’t have to fly until the next day, so they were free to hit the bar.
As they were relaxing, they got the call to get back to the airfield to fly the president back to the Capital. Normally that would have be highly against regulations to go from freshly drinking to flying, but a new poll showed the president about to lose the election, so they wanted him back in the Capital when they announced they were suspending the election because, to quote my Dad quoting his orders, “the country wasn’t ready for democracy, yet.”
America has been manipulating international geopolitics from the beginning.
And they’ve been doing it everywhere. No corner is safe from them. Guatemala, Cuba, Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam… Unless I’m mistaken every one of those campaigns, and more, had the goal of interfering with other countries ability to self-govern
Just about all governments pretend to be something they are not. And just about all of them are just tools for the wealthy. So fuck poloticians in general.
Stop deviating: there is literally an ongoing assault to the sovereignty of Venezuela right now.
Where’s the deviation? The US gov fits well in that comment (as does Maduro’s).
I prefer to think of it as expanding the offensive on people who care only for themselves…
It is a democracy, you don’t get to redefine terms randomly.
85% of Americans disapprove of their government, no democracy
It’s a Federal Presidential Republic
Not that the USA is in a great state in any way right now but this isn’t exactly true. Citizens often oppose what a country is doing. For reference just look at how veterans of the Vietnam war were treated. Bullied, harassed and treated like garbage. The reality is far more complicated. Still shit though
It’s a bit more than shit, shit is bribing FIFA to give you a peace prize. This is kidnapping a foreign leader and stealing a countries livelihood. It’s NOT just a bit shit this is full blown state authorized terrorism. America is basically Russia.
Vietnam was worse because the soldiers getting mistreated were often drafted. Not really fair to treat them so badly. And nowadays, for a lot of kids, the military is the only way off the streets and what not. They don’t sign up thinking they are going to do all these evil things. And many of them never have to. So I agree, much more complicated. And I would rather they be employed by the gov to help take care of people, instead of kill them.
That’s what the gov means by “take care of that person”.
Too true.
Lolz Venezuela is an authoritarian regime, you gonna defend russia and israel next?
Edit: link to united Nation reports calling this a authoriarian regime, on Wikipedia: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misión_Internacional_Independiente_de_determinación_de_los_hechos_sobre_Venezuela
You including Israel, Americas middle east genocidal proxy, in that statement shows your bias.
You mean the United nations (edit: and my bias) bias: https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/11/1157286
If U saying fuck the courts too, then you are like maduro.
The United Nations have been trying to sanction Israel for decades and decades, only the US veto power has stopped them and the US military funding has enabled them.
I see only facts.
Russia, Hamas, and Cuba are the only countries to condemn the action. Everyone will just ignore that though.
Russia condemning it is Putin being a hypocrite and Cuba isn’t far better either.
Maybe so far. Give everyone else a few hours to write a statement.
Strongly worded letters eh?
I think it’s a better first response than other countries attacking/invading the US and actually triggering WWIII.
Not really true, but I get your point. Colombia heavily condemned it, and I suspect Iran and the DPRK too
That’s certainly what the US government and their corporate masters would like you to believe.
Google shit and read for yourself.
Edit: Ill do one bettter, here’s the Wikipedia which includes united nations reports: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misión_Internacional_Independiente_de_determinación_de_los_hechos_sobre_Venezuela
There are no free elections in Venezuela, because a country economically sanctioned and under military threat by the USA cannot have fair elections. Surely you don’t call Zelensky a dictator for postponing elections during the war?
Ukrainians don’t wanna fight any more…what do you call a leader that makes his people fight and die in a war they want to end?
