Maybe maybe not but the right to choose is everything.
The west aren’t saints and certainly are many other nations either, so much so many want to live in the west and leave their regimes behind.
Thats all you need to know.
How much choice do US sanctions provide the ordinary people of Venezuela?

They don’t, the Government does, their Government? This crisis didn’t start with US sanctions though did it? That is conveniently forgotten by Maduro supporters.
Maybe he and his family could donate their pilfered money back to the people?
It hasn’t, its an ally in another proxy war, so they’ve taken a view of they can’t see it as they’ve bigger fish to fry.
Sad but true.
OK Barry. We are not going to agree on the role of the US around the world. I think you are deluded but hey-ho. I’ll leave you with the choice of wearing or not wearing your MAGA hat.
Even before I read this I can tell you Trump isn’t be all and end all for American foreign policy and I sincerely doubt he has the intellect to digest and direct it, that’ll come from people in the shadows (military, CIA and others), globalisation will make western nations poorer that much is known and easy to say.
All the Americans are doing is protecting their interests, you tell me any nation or any nations citizens would want it any different? A different method quite possibly but the end goal the same.
Its pure ignorance whether knowingly or not, naive to boot as well.
Possibly, but all states do that, put their citizens on false senses of alert.
That differs from nations citizens being allowed self determination though.
Maduro was elected democratically though yes? By monitored and approved electoral process yes? So how is the US trying to remove him promoting democracy?

I’d question the election process of his 2nd term, an election would sort that out now, self determination as I said but lets keep this about Russian aggression and their fascists.
So the former Communists who stopped the fascists in the Second World War are fascists now?
Christ, Barry. I’ve had days where I’ve thought “there’s nothing more stupid he can say”, but you constantly surprise me, today included.
You don’t think Russia has fascists? You think the communists stayed communist? I think you need to check on Putins views on communism son, listen just read some books for fucksake, Jesus fucking wept, thats forum gold right there.
Merriam-Webster defines fascism as “a political philosophy, movement, or regime … that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.”
Sounds like Putin’s Russia.
Lets hope so, the new leader can get out of Georgia and Ukraine and have a more open, transparent and forward looking regime.
He hasn’t got anywhere to invade now either to distract, can’t wait until the fascist has gone.
I’m more worried about the cunts closer to home.
There are threads for those as well, this concerns a massive huge homophobic, racist totalitarian Russian one who is losing his iron grip on the nation.
I seen that yesterday. It’s all a bit sad and desperate isn’t it.
How’s Putin’s approval rating doing(seeing as they insist on linking local elections to him)?
Western MSM is so biased it’s painful to read. Nothing about the goings-on in Syria or Iran and a lot has happened, particularly in Syria(see if you can find out about it in any of them).
