U.S. guardianship over Venezuela endures. And with it a hard-to-describe sense of waiting grows among the population: a huge expectation of economic improvements and a transition to democracy that has yet to materialize. Impatience is spreading, especially among political elites. Oil production is rising, driven by new exploitation licenses granted by Washington, but the surplus has not yet translated into revenue for the treasury. The currency steadily depreciates. Economic stagnation is one of the most frequent — and distressing — topics of conversation in the streets of Caracas. Contrary to what Donald Trump said, Venezuelans are not dancing with joy in the streets.
Trump: The who are complaining? “Citizens”? What do they have to do with any of this?
You know what’s the worst? I read this headline and thought “oh yeah, I forgot they did that…”
What a fucked up timeline.
That was this year too wasn’t it?
Who the fuck thinks a fascist siege translates into societal improvements?
They replaced the Venezuelan president with a sort of US puppet. It is not crazy to presume that that would lead to sanctions being lifted to make business easier with Venezuela. Especially since there is a massive oil crisis right now.
wealthy Cubans, Pahlavists, Bukele fans, MAGA, etc
fucking gusanos always delusional to think that an invading country of racist nazi looters will treat them fairly. The leopards are hungry and they are about to feast on traitors. It’s just a shame a lot of innocent people suffer as well.
‘This isn’t getting better: it gets worse every day’
“Welcome to the jungle, it gets worse here every day”
guardianship is a funny word for violent takeover
Being taken over by a foreign power is never a great time, but being taken over by a foreign power that is actively making their own citizens’ lives worse every single day they are in power sounds especially worse…
and one where if any money is involved goes toward graft.
This is not unexpected, and hopefully the entire Venezuelan situation will blow up and create another headache for the Orange Men and his entourage. Then they can play „Y.M.C.A.“ for him again.
wait shit, this is In The Navy
I’m shocked. American intervention does not improve the quality of life? Was this illegal ‘military operation’ not for democracy and the Venezuelan people, but for oil?
Colour me orange!!!
and then close the world’s major middleeast oil route?
never would that have passed the great orange one’s mind
Actually that whole current Iran situation also was created by another US intervention by deposing the legal government in 1953. See how that worked out for the Iranian people.
Afaik the US and UK deposed the previous government and installed the Shah. Who was then overthrown because, well, Iranians had low quality of life while money was flowing out of the country to US and UK.
The current situation or what lead to the current situation?
The US does have a long and failed history of interventions in the middle east
US invasion**
He doesn’t want to help them.
And never planned.
No it was to exploit and conquer. He said so. Bragged about the money he took, proudly on truth social to the world.
So,… who’s the next one, since this isn’t stopping any time soon?
Cuba probably. And then Brazil or somewhere close and then eventually greenland. We’re pulling troops from Europe already. And have already made moves in the south, with Argentinas new emmigrant, Peter Theil and that guy they pushed into office there with the dumb hair cut, and whatever the fuck we’re doing in Venezuela.
South America is more likely to happen soon soon though. If they do it again. I think they will.
The religious nonsense they’re manipulating people with says the anti christ has to start a war with a neighboring southern country. That’s why they did Venezuela before Iran. For the holy war. Then they had to send isreal to start going nuts on their neighboring Lebanon. Lebanon has a good amount of Christians and that’s part of their weird book too.
Yanno, they gotta try and start the apocalypse for the religious weirdos like Johnson the US speaker of the house. Trumps just exploiting everything he can while doing their weird plan.
Cuba. Brazil is also somewhere on the list, they have manufactured a cause for
warintervention already by classifying drug gangs as terrorists
“Transition to democracy… among the political elite…”
Venezuela was already a democracy. Venezuela’s elite sold out their country to be a US oil field. They’re still expecting their betrayal to pay dividends? Keep crying.
We can only hope that the people of Venezuela begin taking to the streets to re-instate democracy, confiscate the property of everyone involved in this coup and put them in prison. This would be the only just outcome.
Yes, an authoritarian system with a rank of 144/167 in the democracy index “was already a democracy”. I mean fuck the fascists in the US, but leave your tankie BS at .ml
Fat chance. America ia burning to the ground and the issue on everyones mind is some water in a pool.
Oil production is rising, driven by new exploitation licenses granted by Washington, but the surplus has not yet translated into revenue for the treasury.
Sounds about right. The only reason they invaded is for oil companies profits. Profits over people.
People of Venezuela really shocked me with their ignorance. From what I heard and saw, they were mostly happy and thought US is gonna save them.
Everyone thinks invaders are saviors at first. Colonizers were welcomed with open arms on their first arrival.
