50 years ago Leftists would decry warmongering; now they support it. Times have certainly changed.

Meanwhile the US is disputing the election results in Venezuela again because they didn’t get the result they want, with more sanctions and other interventionism likely on the way for the empire-targeted nation.

It’s so wild how every few years the US just casually tries to install a coup regime in the oil-rich nation of Venezuela and the western political-media class treats this as perfectly normal. And then they’ll have the gall to shriek about “election interference” if some Russians make some Facebook memes about a presidential race or whatever. Really says a lot about how evil, entitled, supremacist and stupid western civilization is.

People who support these regime-change operations always tell me, “You know nothing about Venezuela! You’ve never been there! Talk to Venezuelans!”

And I always tell them that no matter how many times I visit Venezuela or how many Venezuelans I talk to, it will still be a fact that US regime-change interventionism is literally always disastrous and literally always based on lies.

One thing that sucks about understanding the US Empire is knowing with absolute certainty that there are Empire managers watching a ‘black’ woman run for president and saying, “Oh man we’re gonna be able to use her administration to manufacture consent for SO many military agendas!”

Incidentally, despite the American sanctions, 33 Venezuelan athletes are at the Paris Olympics — over twice the number of Russians, and unlike the Russians they were allowed to use their national flag. There are also 21 Cubans and 16 North Koreans, likewise under their national flags.
