Most of the politicians now calling for humanitarian aid to the people of Venezuela have voted for crippling sanctions on Venezuela, knowing full well they’d make people suffer by depriving them of food & medicine. If they really wanted to help, they’d start by lifting sanctions.
Want to help the people of Venezuela? Support Mexico & Uruguay’s proposal to de-escalate crisis in #Venezuela: a “new process of inclusive and credible negotiations with full respect for the rule of law and human rights” to resolve the dispute peacefully.
-Backed death squads in Latin America that murdered 1000s for right-wing dictators -Lied to Congress to cover up treasonous Iran-Contra affair -Led 2002 US coup attempt in Venezuela
Still think this is about democracy & human rights?
But… but… buuuuut… socialism has never worked aaaaanywhere… evaaaaaar…. whine whine whiiiiiiiiine….
Amazing news from Sweden! The Swedish Greens Miljöpartiet de gröna have just formed a government with the Social Democrats, blocking right-wing extremists from power! 💚
They lied about #Iran They lied about #Vietnam They lied about #Chile They lied about #Iraq They lied about #Afghanistan They lied about #Iraq. Again. They lied about #Libya. They lied about #Syria. But yeah, sure, THIS TIME it’s for a good cause. #Venezuela
Climate change could be kept in check if a phaseout of all fossil fuel infrastructure were to begin immediately, according to research. It shows that meeting the internationally agreed aspiration of keeping global warming to less than 1.5C above pre-industrial levels is still possible. The scientists say it is therefore the choices being made by global society, not physics, which is the obstacle to meeting the goal.
The study says we’ve got a 64% shot at keeping the global climate at a sustainable level to avoid mass extinction and desertification if we replace everything in the “fossil fuel infrastructure” – things like cars, airplanes, power plants, and factories – with “sustainable alternatives” at the end of their useful lifespans as we replace them.
But are we really, seriously going to do that? Doubtful.
I’m not linking directly to her tweet (“raising a child genderless is child abuse”) because I’m not about to give her the traffic, but it is totally surprising how every single time there’s a new indictment, Lahren manages to say something new and stupid.
It’s like clockwork: every time there is an indictment, you and your pals attack the transgender and non-binary community. Stop putting other people’s lives in danger to distract from this train wreck of a presidency.
So, tell me again how supporting a coup against Maduro is for the sake of the Venezuelan people? This, right here, is bald-faced US imperialism. Dude’s not even trying to pretend otherwise. (What a total and utter surprise.)
Biggest buyers of Venezuelan oil are @ValeroEnergy & @Chevron. Refining heavy crude from #Venezuela supports great jobs in Gulf Coast.
For the sake of these U.S. workers I hope they will begin working with administration of President Guaido & cut off illegitimate Maduro regime.
