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.
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.
