Why do we sell arms to the head choppers and then actively help the backward fucks slaughter innocent children with said arms?  
Russia isn’t involved with Venezuela for the oil. Look up how much they already have.

Why do we? Money and low morals? Your point?

They’re fighting a proxy war with the US in Venezuela, you’re bright enough to know this, this isn’t about a failed attempt at socialism, this is about global power and projection, as I rightly said earlier, they a shower of cunts and thats all there is to it.

My point(which i assume you’re willfully ignoring) is that we back the head choppers only because they have oil(unlike Russia and Venezuela.

> [@Barry-Sanchez](#):
>
> this isn’t about a failed attempt at socialism

Because it didn’t fail? You may need to read more than the stenographers of western power to realise this.

You said this earlier.

> There is no way the US will invade, China and Russia are too involved in the Country selling arms and getting cheap oil, all shit house nations.

Which leaves me wondering why you holiday in by far the most hideous murderous one. What’s the appeal?

It started failing in 2013 when oil prices started changing, when Chavez was still alive.  
I’m not planning on going to China anytime soon son.

It’s failings are largely the result of imperial sanctions(we’ve been through this).  
Why not China, not exported death on a large enough scale to be considered civilised?

So if they murder a few million innocents, they’ll be your kind of people?  
Keep following the one sided lies.

You’re not acknowledging China and Russia’s imperial past and atrocities?  
You’re a strange one.

I acknowledge that you appear to willingly live in the past.  
The USoWH & poddle can get involved when and only when invited, by the most openly democratically elected government anywhere(yeah really, look it up).  
You believe in democracy and self determination, if i remember correctly. So you must surely condemn uninvited outside interference, particularly from a country with form, that has imposed sanctions deliberately aimed to kill the poor(again, yeah really. 40,00).

Still no answer, you must like the weather in Georgia and Crimea, if not I suppose you can build your own island in the South China Seas for convenience.

Keep on avoiding and deflecting son.

RT CNN or BBC.  
LOL Welcome back Barry.  
And that’s a military vehicle suppressing a US backed armed coup attempt. Not Police brutality. Check the Yellow Vest thread for that.  
Try harder.
